Figure 1

The protein expression patterns of SSTR2 and SSTR5: (a–c) protein expression pattern of SSTR2 in the normal pituitary group, direct surgery group, and SSA pretreatment group; (d–f) SSTR5 expression pattern; and (g and h) immunoreactive score of SSTR2 and SSTR5 for these three groups. Data are shown by mean ± SEM. and versus normal group; ^## versus DS group.
