Anandamide-binding receptor protein levels in mesometrial decidua during pregnancy. (A) Representative western blots for CB1, CB2, TRPV1 and β-tubulin of protein extracts from mesometrial decidua taken on days 10, 12, 14, 16 and 19 of pregnancy. Brain homogenates were used as positive controls (control) for CB1, TRPV1 and spleen homogenates for CB2. β-tubulin was used as a loading control. (B) Densitometric analysis of CB1, CB2 (C) and TRPV1 (D) protein levels. The different protein levels were normalized to the level of β-tubulin. Bar graphs show the mean of experiments carried out with four different animals. Results are depicted as means ± SEM. Data labelled with different letters are significantly different from each other.
