Expression of activin and related genes in the fetal membrane on Day 35 of gestation. The expression levels of FGF2, FST, HBEGF, INHA, INHBA, INHBB, and TGFB1 mRNA in gravid and non gravid horn tissues (FM.GH, FM.NGH, END.GH, and END.NGH) were detected by QRT-PCR. The expression of these genes was normalized to the expression of GAPDH measured in the same RNA preparation. The values are shown as the mean ± SD. FM.GH: gravid horn fetal membrane, FM.NGH: non-gravid horn fetal membrane, END.GH: gravid horn endometrium, END.NGH: non-gravid horn endometrium. END.Cyclic: endometrium in the luteal phase during the estrous cycle (day 7-14).
