Fig. 4. (A) Mitotic index of primary spermatogonia (I SPG) in the frog R.
esculenta testis at various times, 4°C and 8 h:16 h photoperiod. The
I SPG was expressed as the number of metaphases per total primary
spermatogonia counted x100 in three randomly chosen sections/animal.
Values are expressed as means ± S.D. Differences were
considered significant at P<0.01. (B) Western blot detection of
PCNA protein in cytosolic testicular extracts of R. esculenta at
various times, 4°C and 8 h:16 h photoperiod. Proteins (40 µg/lane) were
resolved by SDS-PAGE, transferred to nitrocellulose membrane and then
incubated with antibody raised against PCNA protein; a specific band at 36 kDa
(by comparison with comigrating size markers). The blot is representative of
three separate assays. (C) The amount of PCNA was quantitated by using
ImageQuant 5.2 Program. The values shown are representative of three separate
experiments.
