Overexpressing and silencing the expression of lncRNA SNHG12 influenced the body weight, ovary weight, gonadal hormone, miR-129, miR-125b expressions, and pathological changes in PCOS rats. a Body weight and ovary weight of rats in each group, n = 5 in each group; b ELISA was used for testing the T, E₂, P, LH and FSH levels of the rats in each group, the ratio of LH/FSH was calculated, n = 5 in each group; c qRT-PCR was used for testing lncRNA SNHG12, miR-129, and miR-125b mRNA expressions of rats in each group, n = 3 in each group; d The histomorphology of ovary tissues in rats was observed by hematoxylin-eosin staining (magnification × 40, 200, 400); ^▲P < 0.05, ^▲▲P < 0.01 vs. control group; ^★P < 0.05, ^★★P < 0.01 vs. DHEA group; P < 0.05, ^##P < 0.01 vs. NC group
