Fig. 5From: ACTH-induced stress in weaned sows impairs LH receptor expression and steroidogenesis capacity in the ovaryChanges in the average optical density of 3β-HSD, CYP19A1, CYP17A1, and LHR in the follicular wall After ACTH treatment for 7 days, weaker CYP17A1, CYP19A1, 3β-HSD, and LHR signals were detected in the follicular wall, and these signals were significantly decreased in the ACTH group than in the control group (P < 0.05). *Differences in values were statistically significant at a p value of <0.05 compared to the control groupBack to article page
