Leptin receptor ( OB-Rb ) mRNA expression level comparison between gestational days (gd) 20 and 50 healthy and arresting conceptus attachment sites. Relative mRNA expression levels of leptin receptor (OB-Rb) in the endometrial tissue of non-pregnant (NP; grey filled bar), in comparison with endometrial (Endo) and chorioallantoic membrane (CAM) tissues of healthy (white-filled bars) and arresting (black-filled bars) attachment sites at gestational day (gd) 20 and gd50. *OB-Rb expression in NP samples was compared with gd20 endometrial tissues only (P < 0.05). A three-way interaction existed between conceptus health, tissue type and gd (P < 0.001). The expression of OB-Rb was greater in gd50 CAM from healthy and endometrium form arrested attachment sites than all other tissues at both gestational days. abBars with different superscripts are significantly different (P < 0.001). Transcript abundance was quantified by real-time PCR and normalized as a ratio to β-actin (ACTB). Histogram bars represent group means plus standard error.
