Figure 5. LHTN increased lymphatic vessel density in the gonads.

Figure 5.

Lymphatic vessel density in (A) testes and (B) ovaries from the control and LHTN mice as determined by LYVE-1+ pixels relative to DAPI per field (n=6 in both males and females). Representative images of LYVE-1 immunofluorescence in testis (scale bar = 100 μm) and ovary (scale bar = 200 μm) sections. Green: LYVE-1; Red: CD31; Blue: DAPI. Gene expression of lymphatic vessel markers in (C) testes and (D) ovaries from the control and LHTN mice (n=6 in both males and females). Results are expressed as mean ± SEM, and statistical analyses consisted of Student’s t test. *P<0.05 vs control. Representative 3-D model of confocal images of clear, unobstructed brain/body imaging cocktails and computational analysis (CUBIC) cleared testis immunostained with LYVE-1 from (E) the control and (F) LHTN mice, n=3. Representative 3-D model of confocal images of clear, unobstructed brain/body imaging cocktails and computational analysis (CUBIC) cleared ovary immunostained with LYVE-1 from (G) the control and (H) LHTN mice, n=3. Scale bars = 1000 μm (testis) and 500 μm (ovary).
