Figure 2: Increased levels of pituitary Gh, Prl and Lh mRNA in male mice fasted for 24 and 48 hour fasting. Fsh mRNA was increased in female mice with 24 hour fasting and decreased in male mice with 48 hour fasting.

Figure 2:

In the pituitary of 24 and 48 h fasted mice, mRNA levels were quantified by qRT-PCR for (a) pituitary-specific positive transcription factor 1 (Pit1), (b) growth hormone (Gh), (c) prolactin (Prl), (d) luteinizing hormone (Lh), (e) thyroid stimulating hormone, and (f) follicle-stimulating hormone (Fsh). n = 4–8 per condition; error bars are SEM. Values that differ significantly (P < 0.05) with the same time point among different treatment conditions: “a” significant with fed group and “b” significant with fasted group. Student’s t-test.
