Quantified analyze of endogenous FSH and maternal 17β-Estradial (E₂) within cerebrum, ovarian and plasma of A. sinensis collected from different dph groups. (A) FSH Immunohistochemical localization of coronal section of cerebrum of A. Sinensis. PC: Piriform Cortex, NC: Neocortex; HDC: Hippocampus Dorsal Cortex, HIC: Hippocampus Interior Cortex; CS: Corpus Striatum, DVR: Dorsal Ventricular Ridge; (B) Changes in the steroid substrates profiles of maternal E₂ (red triangle), plasma E₂ (green circle) and Plasma FSH (blue diamond) of A. Sinensis collected from different dph groups. (C) Relative expression of FSH mRNA within the cerebrum tissues that reported as arbitrary units relative to a set value of 1 for samples from 1-dph (Mean ± S.E.M; Error bars are indicative of the standard error)
