From: The Goto-Kakizaki rat is a spontaneous prototypical rodent model of polycystic ovary syndrome
a 3–4 and 6 month-old Wistar (W, open symbols) and GK (closed symbols) rats were injected with 10 IU of PMSG followed 48 h later with 10 IU of hCG to induce ovulation. b, d, f Number of oocytes retrieved after ovarian stimulation in Wistar and GK rats. c, e, g Hematocrit in Wistar and GK rats. Panels b, c show the combined results for 3–4 and 6 month-old rats; and panels d, e and f, g represent results for 3–4 and 6 month-old rats, respectively. 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.
