From: Regulation of surfactant protein D in the rodent prostate
Relative amount of SP-D mRNA in prostate (panel A) or lung tissue (panel B) from sham-castrated or castrated animals as determined by semi-quantitative real time RT-PCR. A. Prostate tissue. There was a significant increase in SP-D mRNA in the prostates of mice that were castrated when compared to sham-castrated mice. B. Lung tissue. SP-D lung mRNA levels were not affected by castration. The data represent the mean plus or minus the standard deviation, n = 9 sham-castrated animals and n = 9 castrated animals. The asterisk denotes a significant difference between the castrated and the control, sham-castrated animals, ANOVA, p < 0.05.
