Abstract

<p>(A) <i>lhr</i>, (B) <i>mprα</i> and (C) <i>mprβ</i> mRNA levels, normalized against <i>β-actin</i> gene in fish exposed to 100 nM and 1 µM MEL. n = 20 oocytes per group. Error bars indicate mean±S.D. (D) Number of ovulated eggs per female in fish exposed to 100 nM and 1 µM MEL. Asterisks denote exposure groups that are significantly different from the relative control group (CTRL) (p<0.05), analyzed using ANOVA followed by Bonferroni's multiple comparison test.</p
