Effect of Nourishing “Yin”-Removing “Fire” Chinese Herbal Mixture on Hypothalamic NKB/NK3R Expression in Female Precocious Rats

Figure 4

Effects of Chinese herb mixture on hypothalamus NK3R protein expression by western blot. The expression of NK3R protein was upregulated in M rats compared to N (𝑃<0.01) and downregulated under the influence of Chinese herb mixture (𝑃<0.01). 𝑛=5 per group. N: normal, M: model, MS: saline, and CHM: Chinese herb mixture. ^∗∗𝑃<0.01 versus N; ^##𝑃<0.01 versus M.
