Progesterone-regulated gene expression in mouse fallopian tubes. Quantitative PCR analyses of 8 transcripts in mouse fallopian tubes treated with ethanol (EtOH) 0.01 % (v/v) as control (C) or progesterone (P; 100 nmol/L) in vitro for 2 h or 8 h. The relative mRNA abundance in the figure is presented as the normalized value (normalized to the housekeeping genes Hprt and Rpl19). Error bars represent standard error of mean. Significantly different expression between control and exposed fallopian tubes at the two time points is indicated by * (p < 0.05), ** (p < 0.01) or *** (p < 0.001)
