Effects of MOPs on GnRH section and the Kiss1/GPR54 pathway in the Arc. The effects of MOPs on GnRH, Kiss1, and GPR54 expression in the Arc of ELV rats (a). The fluorescence intensities of GnRH and Kiss1/GPR54 in the Arc of the experimental groups (b). MOPs increased the number of neurons that stained positive for GnRH mRNA expression in the Arc of the ELV group (c). The number of neurons exhibiting GnRH mRNA immunoreactivity in the Arc of the experimental groups (d). : : compared with SO group; : : compared with VC group.
