From: Musk gland seasonal development and musk secretion are regulated by the testis in muskrat (Ondatra zibethicus)

Immunohistochemistry and Western-blotting results of AR expression in musk glands. a Immunolocalization of androgen receptor (AR) in muskrat musk gland in the breeding season. b Immunolocalization of AR in the musk deer (Moschus berezovskii) musk gland in the breeding season. c Immunolocalization of AR in muskrat musk gland in the non-breeding season. d Immunolocalization of AR in the small Indian civet (Viverricula indica) musk gland in the breeding season. GC glandular cells, IC interstitial cells. e Positive bands of AR and GAPDH. f The comparison of AR protein expression between the two seasons. The expression level was the quotient of the values of AR and GAPDH. And the value of breeding season is higher than the value in non-breeding season (0.01 < p  <  0.05)
