Figure 7From: Intermedin in rat uterus: changes in gene expression and peptide levels across the estrous cycle and its effects on uterine contractionThe effects of inhibitors in signaling pathways on the suppression of uterine contraction by IMD. Decreased amplitude (A) and frequency (B) were observed after the IMD treatment. Both L-NAME and Wortmannin partially blocked IMD actions (A and B). KT5720 had no effects on uterine contraction mediated by IMD. *P<0.01 vs control or inhibitor alone, **P<0.01 vs IMD, #P<0.01 vs L-NAME+ IMD or Wortmannin+IMD.Back to article page
