Figure 1From: Interplacental uterine expression of genes involved in prostaglandin synthesis during canine pregnancy and at induced prepartum luteolysis/abortionExpression of cyclooxygenase 2 (COX2, PTGS2), prostaglandin F2α synthase (PGFS) and of prostaglandin E2 synthase (PGES). Expression of COX2 (PTGS2), PGFS/AKR1C3 and PGES was determined by Real Time (TaqMan) PCR (mean ± SD) in the interplacental sites of canine uterus from the pre-implantation period until mid-gestation (A,C,E) and during Aglepristone®-induced luteolysis/abortion (B,D,F, compared with the mid-gestation group as a non-treated control). Bars with different asterisks differ either at P < 0.01 in (C) and (E), or at P < 0.05 in (B) and (F).Back to article page
