Figure 6: AMH stimulates FSH secretion and pituitary Fshb expression, in vivo, in female but not in male rats at postnatal day 18.

Figure 6

Male and female rats were injected intraperitoneally at pnd 17 with 100 μl of saline solution containing or not 10 μg of AMH precursor (a conventionally used concentration in AMH in vivo studies). Serum LH and FSH secretion (a) and gonadotropin subunits gene expression (b), were determined 18 h after injection. Each value is a mean ± SEM of 13 rats. *P ≤ 0.05; **P ≤ 0.01 compared to control rats.
