Serum gonadotropin levels, ovarian morphology, and number of offspring in WT and CD36−/− mice. A. ELISA was used to quantify changes FSH and LH in serum collected from CD36^−/− and WT mice. CD36^−/− mice had significantly (p < 0.05) higher circulating FSH and lower LH levels compared to WT controls. B. Morphometric analysis was conducted on histological sections from CD36^−/− and WT mice. Ovaries collected from CD36^−/− mice had significantly (p < 0.05) higher number of follicles and lower number of corpora lutei compared to WT controls. C. The number of offspring born to CD36−/− mice were fewer (p < 0.05) than WT control mice.
