Figure 1From: Activation of the transcription factor, nuclear factor kappa-B, during the estrous cycle and early pregnancy in the pigTranscription factor assay to determine relative amounts of activated RELA. Nuclear (light bars; day effect, P = 0.005) and cytoplasmic (dark bars; day effect, P = 0.006; status effect, P < 0.001) protein fractions of endometrium collected from gilts on days 5, 10 and 13 of the estrous cycle and days 10 and 13 of pregnancy (n = 4/day/status). Relative optical density for each sample was corrected for total protein concentration in the sample. Data is presented as relative O.D. mean ± SEM.Back to article page
