MIH stimulates VtG expression and secretion in hepatopancreas of females at ovarian stage 3 and downregulates VtG mRNA at stage early 2 (E2) while CHH shows no significant effect. A) VtG mRNA and B) VtG in the medium. a) 2 nM MIH treatment and b) 20 nM CHH treatment. The effects on VtG mRNA and protein secretion were tested in females at E2 (N = 21 and N = 6, respectively) and stage 3 (N = 6 and N = 5, respectively). Results are presented as mean ± SEM of % of control. * = P ≤ 0.05; *** = P ≤ 0.001.
