PFC regulates ovarian function-associated hormone levels in aging mice. (a) Serum estradiol levels. (b) Serum progesterone levels. (c) Serum LH levels. (d) Serum FSH levels. (e) Immunohistochemical analyses of inhibin and IGF-1 in mouse ovarian tissues with quantification of positive staining area. For statistical significance in this figure, P < 0.05 compared with young control group; ^#P < 0.05 compared with aging model group; one-way ANOVA with post hoc Tukey’s test for (a-d); Kruskal-Wallis H test for (e).
