To investigate the expressions of Testosterone in the condylar cartilage of rapid growing rats.
The mimic functional appliances were used in experiment groups and rats were killed after 3 days, 1 week, 2 weeks, 3 weeks and 4 weeks. Immunohistochemical technique was used to detect the expression of T.
T was expressed throughout the condylar cartilage. The Highest expressions were in mature layers of both experiment and control groups. Along with the maturation, the expressions of T in the condylar cartilage were changed respectively, and the immunostain levels in the mature layer of experiment groups 2 and 3 weeks were higher than those of control groups (P < 0.05).
研究快速生长大鼠髁突软骨中睾酮(Testosterone)的表达情况。
实验组使用模拟功能矫治器,分别于3天、1周、2周、3周和4周后处死大鼠。采用免疫组织化学技术检测睾酮(T)的表达。
睾酮(T)在整个髁突软骨中均有表达。实验组和对照组的最高表达均位于成熟层。随着软骨成熟,髁突软骨中睾酮(T)的表达分别发生变化,实验组2周和3周成熟层的免疫染色水平高于对照组(P < 0.05)。
