From: Variations in maternal care alter corticosterone and 17beta-estradiol levels, estrous cycle and folliculogenesis and stimulate the expression of estrogen receptors alpha and beta in the ovaries of UCh rats

Analysis of ovarian receptors. (A) Representative western blotting analysis of androgen receptor (AR), estrogen receptor subunits (ER-α and ER-β) in rat ovaries after variation of maternal care. Indicated concentrations of each total protein (70 μg extracted from a pool of 6 organs/group) were used to detect specific protein expression levels in the blots (upper panel). (B) Densitometry values for AR, ER-α and ER-β levels were studied following normalization to the housekeeping gene β-actin. All results are expressed as means ± SEM (n = 6 animals/group). Student's t-test; * p < 0.05.
