Figure 4

Relative gene expression of PRM1, TNP1, and TNP2. (a) Comparison between the control () and treated () groups. (b) Comparison between D0 () and D30 () of the spermatic cycle. (c) Comparison between the control () and treated () groups at D0 of the spermatic cycle. (d) Comparison between the control () and treated () groups at D30 of the spermatic cycle. (e) Comparison between D0 () and D30 () of the spermatic cycle within the control group. (f) Comparison between D0 () and D30 () of the spermatic cycle within the treated group. Results are presented as mean ± SEM. Amounts expressed in log2 (FC). FC = fold change. C = control group. T = treated group.
