From: Leptin receptor signaling inhibits ovarian follicle development and egg laying in chicken hens
The levels of mRNA expression relative to β-actin of ten genes in thegranulosa (G) and thecal (T) layer of various size ovarian follicles in Control hens (□, n = 8) and cLEPR Immunized hens (■, n = 8). (A) bcl2 (B) caspase3 (C) fas (D) IGF-I (E) FSHR (F) lepR (G) LHR (H) StAR (I) CYP17A1 (J) CYP19A1. Fn represents the hierarchical order of follicle size, with the largest follicle designated as F1. Vertical bars represent the standard errors of the mean. Means not marked by a common letter are significantly different (a-b: P < 0.05; a-c: P < 0.01).
