AQP1 mRNA expression in porcine uterine explants. The expression of AQP1 mRNA in the pig uterine tissue harvested on (A) Days 10–12 (n = 5) and (B) Days 14–16 (n = 5) of the estrous cycle after treatment with progesterone (P4; 10−5 M), estradiol (E2; 10−9 M), oxytocin (OT; 10−7 M), arachidonic acid (AA; 10−5 M), forskolin (FSK; 10 μg/mL) and cyclic-AMP (cAMP; 200 μM) for 3 and 24 h. The data are presented as the mean values ± SEM of AQP1 expression in relation to expression of GAPDH and 18 sRNA. Different letters (a,b,c,d) indicate significant differences (p < 0.05) between each treatment and respective control for 3- (a,b) or 24-h (c,d) incubations.
