Can you help me explain these RNAi results?

09 September 2014 0 6K Report

We used RNAi to partially silence inhibin and check the effects of this silencing on some genes by qPCR like ERβ, CYP19, CYP11A1, AR, 3βHSD, IGF-I, Kitl, AMH, LHβ and FSHβ . The results indicated that relative mRNA levels of ERβ, CYP19, CYP11A1 and Androgen Receptor were down regulated, while 3βHSD, IGF-I, Kitl, AMH, LHβ and FSHβ were up regulated. can any one explain as i am totally confused.
