doi: 10.1038/s42003-023-04778-2
Figure Lengend Snippet: a Western blotting analysis and quantification of whole-testis lysate for PI3K–Akt–mTOR/GSK3β signaling related to F-actin dynamics in Lcrmp-1 +/+ and Lcrmp-1 −/− mice ( n = 5, mean ± SD, two-tailed Student’s t -test, * p < 0.05, ** p < 0.01, *** p < 0.001). b Western blotting analysis and quantification of fractionated testicular cells (spermatids, spermatocytes, and others) of Lcrmp-1 +/+ and Lcrmp-1 −/− mice. HEF indicates pooled cell fractions 1–8, which exhibit high expression of LCRMP-1, while LEF indicates pooled cell fractions 9–20, which exhibit low expression of LCRMP-1 ( n = 3, mean ± SD, two-tailed Student’s t -test, * p < 0.05, ** p < 0.01, *** p < 0.001).
