Cryptotanshinone Reverses Reproductive and Metabolic Disturbances in PCOS Model Rats via Regulating the Expression of CYP17 and AR

Figure 4

The genes expression of ovarian tissues analyzed by Real-Time PCR. As is shown above, there were no obvious differences between 3 -hsd mRNA and gdf-9 mRNA among the three groups. The expression of cyp17 mRNA ( ), cyp19 mRNA ( ), ar mRNA ( ), and igf-1 mRNA ( ) in Model group was increased significantly than in the Control group ( ). After drug intervention, the expression of cyp17 mRNA ( ) and ar mRNA ( ) was statistically decreased, while cyp19 mRNA and igf-1 mRNA had no statistical differences (cyp19 mRNA: ; igf-1 mRNA: ). Model group ( ) versus Control group ( ): * ; Drug group ( ) versus Model group ( ): Δ .
