E2-induced luteinizing hormone (LH) and follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) secretion and mRNA expression in grass carp. (A) In vivo effects of E2 on LHβ and FSHβ mRNA expression in grass carp pituitary. (B) E2-induced serum LH secretion in prepuberty grass carp. (C) Effect of E2 on FSH secretion in the serum of prepuberty grass carp. The quantified graph is shown below the representative blots in each group. Data presented are expressed as mean ± SEM (n = 3). (D) Receptor specificity of E2-induced FSH synthesis in grass carp pituitary cells. The quantified graph is shown below the representative blots in each group. Data presented are expressed as mean ± SEM (n = 3).
