Liraglutide Improves Hypertension and Metabolic Perturbation in a Rat Model of Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome - Fig 1

<p><b>DHT levels and estrous cycle pattern:</b> a) <b>DHT levels measured at 16 weeks of age.</b> (Mean± SEM; pg/ml)<b>:</b> measured in the serum by ELISA, control group (n = 9) DHT group (n = 10) and DHT+ liraglutide group (n = 11). DHT levels were 1.3 fold higher in the DHT treated rats compared to control irrespective of liraglutide treatment (p<0.05). b) <b>Estrous cycle pattern in the three groups.</b> Vaginal cytology was done every day starting at 8 week of life till the end of the study. Data presented are from the last week of the study. The figure shows pattern of two representative rats in each group including control, DHT and DHT+ Liraglutide. P: proestrus; E: estrus; M: metestrus; and D: diestrus.
