From: Dysregulation of intraovarian redox status and steroidogenesis pathway in letrozole-induced PCOS rat model: a possible modulatory role of l-Carnitine

Fig. 3

Effect of l-Carnitine and Clomiphene citrate on mRNA relative gene expression of Cyp17a1, Cyp11a1 and STAR genes in ovarian tissue of different groups in letrozole-induced PCOS rat models. A CYP17A: Cytochrome P450 17 A1, B CYP11A1: Cytochrome P450 11 A1, C StAR: Steroidogenic Acute Regulatory protein, D CYP19A1: Aromatase in different groups. Values presented as mean ± SE (n = 6). Means denoted with different superscript letter are statistically significant at P < 0.05. C: Control group, PCOS: letrozole induced polycystic ovarian syndrome, PCOS + LC: letrozole induced polycystic ovarian syndrome treated with l-Carnitine, PCOS + CLO: letrozole induced polycystic ovarian syndrome treated with Clomiphene Citrate
