VEGFR2 Expression Is Differently Modulated by Parity and Nulliparity in Mouse Ovary

Figure 2

mRNA expression of Vegf 164 (upper panel), Vegf 120 (middle panel), and Vegfr2 (lower panel) relative to Actin. Mother: M; virgin: V; corpus luteum tissue: CLT; residual stromal tissue: RST. Similar Vegf 164, Vegf 120, and Vegfr2 mRNA levels are present in whole ovaries of M and V mice (a), while a different distribution occurs between CLT and RST (b). Bar graph data represent the mean percentage ± SEM of 3 independent experiments. Relative quantitative evaluation of mRNAs was performed by the comparative ΔΔCt method. Data from V mice are compared to data obtained from M mice, which are arbitrarily represented as 100%. Data from RST are compared to CLT, which are arbitrarily represented as 100%. P<0.05.
