Fig. 2From: Hedgehog pathway inhibition causes primary follicle atresia and decreases female germline stem cell proliferation capacity or stemnessOvarian aging has a similar trend as the decrease in Hh activity. a mRNA levels of Mvh decrease gradually along with ovarian aging. b Oct4 mRNA levels have the same trend as Mvh levels. c, d Protein levels of Mvh and Oct4 at three reproductive age points. e, f Dual-IF showed the coexpression of Mvh and Gli1, Oct4, and Gli1 in OSE. Bar is 20 μm. *p < 0.05 and **p < 0.01Back to article page
