Figure 5

Nonpolar retinoids in Osilinus lineatus after intramuscular injections with retinol or retinaldehyde.

Free retinol, retinyl palmitate and total (free + esterified) retinol levels in digestive gland-gonad complex of O. lineatus 48 hours after injection with DMSO (control), retinol (4 µg/g body mass) or retinal (4 µg/g body mass). Values represent mean±SEM (n = 5–7). Asterisks indicate significant differences from respective control group (P<0.05, in males: one-way ANOVA followed by the Tukey post-hoc test; in females: one-sample t-test).
