Figure 4From: Expression of the calcium-activated potassium channel in upper and lower segment human myometrium during pregnancy and parturitionSemiquantitation of Western blot signals of BK Ca α-subunit in US and LS myometrium. Myometrial tissues were obtained from non-pregnant women (n = 8) and pregnant women at term before the onset of labour (n = 10) or during active labour (n = 10). (A) Levels of α-subunit in US samples. (B) α-subunit expression in LS samples. Representative protein bands were presented on the top of the histogram. Data were expressed as mean ± SEM. *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01 with NP; #P < 0.05, ##P < 0.01 with TNL.Back to article page
