The Involvement of the Androgen Receptor in the Secretion of the Epididymal corpus in the Lizard Podarcis sicula
Figure 3
ISH with Er or ER homologous probes on the epididymis. (a) Mating period: Er-mRNA is evident in the epithelium of the efferent ductules (↑); no expression in the secretory epithelium of the corpus (*). Note in the corpus the enlarged lumen (*). (b) Winter stasis: the Er expression is evident in the efferent ductules (↑) and in nonsecreting corpus (*). (c) E2 treated males in mating period: ER-mRNA is expressed in the corpus (*) and in the efferent ductules (↑). Note the restricted empty lumen of the corpus (*). The bar is 30 m.
