af Serum levels of Testosterone (a), Delta-4 androstenedione (b), Progesterone (c), Estradiol (d), Luteinizing hormone (LH) (e), and anti-Müllerian Hormone (AMH) (f) of 3 and 6 month-old Wistar (W, open symbols) and GK (closed symbols) rats. g Amh (light gray) and Amhr2 (dark gray) mRNA levels in 3 (non-hatched) and 6 (hatched) month-old GK rat ovaries, expressed as box with scatter blot with mean ± SEM (3 months GK rat: n = 7; 6 month-old GK rats: n = 6, fold change relative to Wistar rats; 3 months Wistar rats: n = 6; 6 month-old Wistar rats: n = 5). Unless indicated, data are represented as scatter blot with mean ± SEM. p-values are from two-sided Mann–Whitney U test for unpaired comparisons (GK vs. Wistar rats). n represents the number of biologically independent animals in each group. Source data are provided as a Source Data file.
