From: Luteal activity of pregnant rats with hypo-and hyperthyroidism
Flk-1 expression in the corpus luteum of pregnant rats of the control, hypothyroid and hyperthyroid groups at 10, 14 and 19 days of gestation. A) Immunohistochemical images of Flk-1 expression (Streptavidin-biotin-peroxidase, Harris hematoxylin, scale bar = 12 μm). B and C) Reduction of the area and intensity of Flk-1 expression in the corpus luteum of the hypothyroid group compared to the control group at 14 days of gestation. Increase of the area and intensity of Flk-1 expression in the corpus luteum of hyperthyroid group compared to the control group at 19 days of gestation.
