Figure 4

MIH binding to female hepatopancreas membranes is characterized by a lower affinity and higher density compared to juvenile YO. Overlay of the curves of saturation (A) and displacement (B) of [125I] MIH binding to YO and female hepatopancreas membranes to emphasize the differences in values of KD and BMAX between these tissues. YO, closed circles; hepatopancreas, open circles.
