From: Medaka fish exhibits longevity gender gap, a natural drop in estrogen and telomere shortening during aging: a unique model for studying sex-dependent longevity

Figure 2

Change of telomere length, as represented by the size of terminal restriction fragment (TRF; in bp), in male (blue) and female (pink) O. latipes during aging (upper: gill; lower: liver). Shortening of organ TRF length across age in each sex was modeled by an exponential decay curve (see Materials and Methods). Error bars are standard error of mean (SEM). Asterisk indicates significant difference in TRF length between sexes at specific age: * = p < 0.05, *** = p < 0.001 after FDR-adjustment.
