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

Figure 3

Representative images and protein quantification of VEGF 164 and VEGF 120. Mother: M; virgin: V; corpus luteum tissue: CLT; residual stromal tissue: RST. Levels of VEGF 164 (upper and middle panel) and VEGF 120 (upper and lower panel) in whole ovaries of M and V mice (a) and their distribution in CLT and RST (b). As shown by the representative images (a, upper panel), ovarian VEGF 120 content is almost 2-fold more than VEGFA 164 (P<0.05). Bar graph data represent the mean percentage ± SEM of 4 independent determinations. 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%. Comparisons are made within the same blot and across different blots. P<0.05.
