Figure 5From: Two unrelated putative membrane-bound progestin receptors, progesterone membrane receptor component 1 (PGMRC1) and membrane progestin receptor (mPR) beta, are expressed in the rainbow trout oocyte and exhibit similar ovarian expression patternsComparative mRNA abundance of PGMRC1 and mPRβ mRNAs in the rainbow trout intact (N = 3 groups of 25 follicles) or deyolked (N = 3 groups of 25 follicles) post-vitellogenic ovary. The mRNA abundance of each gene (mean ± SEM) was determined by real-time PCR and normalized to the abundance of 18S. For each gene, mRNA abundance was arbitrarily set to 1 in the intact ovary. Asterisks indicate significant differences (p < 0.05).Back to article page
