Salminus hilarii. Semiquantitative analysis of growth hormone (GH) and somatolactin hormone (SL) in the different environments and ovarian maturation stages. a) optical density of GH; b) cell area of GH; c) nucleus area of GH; d) nucleus/cell ratio of GH; e) optical density of SL; f) cell area of SL; g) nucleus area of SL; h) nucleus/cell ratio of SL. Values followed by different letters (a, b) are significantly different during the reproductive cycle. Values followed by different symbols (*) are significantly different between the environments. Each bar represents the mean ± SEM. Significance (P < 0.05).
