Effect of GPER blockage on aromatase and estrogen receptors localization in mouse testes. Representative microphotographs of testicular sections of control and G-15 (50 μg/kg bw)-treated immature, mature and aged mice. (af) Localization of ERα. Expression of aromatase in both groups is moderate. Slight increase in ERα expression in nuclei and partially in cytoplasm of Leydig cell is observed in G-15 immature mice (arrows) (a, b). In both mature and aged mice (control and G-15-treated) no changes in expression of ERα is seen (arrows) (cf). In negative controls, no positive staining is seen (inserts c). The immunoexpression in cytoplasm and nuclei of Leydig cells is strong in mature males while it is moderate in aged ones (arrows) (cf)
