Comparison of mRNA expression of Gpx3 (a) and Ptx3 (b) in the ovary of normal, PCOS, sham, R10 Treat 1, and R10 Treat 2 groups (n = 12). The last two groups of animals were treated via intraperitoneal route 8 weeks after the disease induction. The animals were euthanized 3 days after the last treatment. The quantification of each gene was normalized against the reference gene as described in the text. Data are presented as mean ± SEM. Significant difference vs. the normal (*), vs. the PCOS group (+), vs. the sham group (×), and vs. the R10 Treat 1 group (ξ)
