Figure 3. Relationship between reproductive organ mass, Tshβ and Kiss1 expression.
Correlations between (A-D) Tshβ expression in the posterior hypothalamus and reproductive
organ mass (male: paired testis weight, females: paired ovary + uterus weight), and between
(E-H) Kiss1 expression in the anterior hypothalamus and reproductive organ mass for common
vole males, common vole females, tundra vole males and tundra vole females respectively at
low (open symbols) or high workload (filled symbols), at 10°C (blue) or 21°C (red). Linear
models are fitted and R2 and p-values are shown.
