Fig. 3From: Uterine NDRG2 expression is increased at implantation sites during early pregnancy in mice, and its down-regulation inhibits decidualization of mouse endometrial stromal cellsThe effects of steroid hormones on NDRG2 expression in the uterus. Upper: immunohistochemical analysis of NDRG2 protein expression in the uteri of ovariectomized mice after oil (a), progesterone (b), estrogen (c), and progesterone plus estrogen treatments (d). Below: quantitative PCR analysis of NDRG2 mRNA expression (e) in the uterus following steroid hormone treatment (n = 3). The thick arrow indicates the luminal epithelium. The small arrow shows the glandular epithelium. The columns with different superscripts are significantly different (P < 0.05)Back to article page
