2. Figure 1
Impact of transient gestational-onset of hypothyroidism on epididymal weight (A), corpus and caudal sperm content (B), caudal sperm forward motility (C), 5α-reductase (5αR) 1 and 2 mRNA expression (D–F) and 5αR enzyme activity (G). Each bar represents mean ± SEM of five observations. Bars with the same letters are not statistically significantly different, whereas those with different letters are statistically significantly different at the P≤.05 level. Comparisons are between coeval control and experimental rats. DHT = 5α-dihydrotestosterone; OD = optical density. Agarose gel electrophoresis lanes (D and E): lane 1: 100 bp ladder; lane 2: group I, caput; lane 3: group II, caput; lane 4: group III, caput; lane 5: group IV, caput; lane 6: group I, corpus; lane 7: group II, corpus; lane 8: group III, corpus; lane 9: group IV, corpus; lane 10: group I, cauda; lane 11: group II, cauda; lane 12: group III, cauda; lane 13: group IV, cauda.

3. Figure 2
Impact of transient gestational-onset hypothyroidism on epididymal androgen receptor (AR) mRNA expression (A, B), AR protein expression (C, D), and nuclear and cytosolic AR ligand-binding activity (E). RPL19 = ribosomal protein L19; other abbreviations and explanations as in Figure 1. Agarose gel electrophoresis lanes (A) as in Figures 1D and 1E. Western blot detection lanes (C): lane 1: group I; lane 2: group II; lane 3: group III; lane 4: group IV.
