Fig. 4From: Relaxin deficiency results in increased expression of angiogenesis- and remodelling-related genes in the uterus of early pregnant mice but does not affect endometrial angiogenesis prior to implantationExpression of extracellular matrix remodeling genes (a) Mmp14 and (b) Timp3 in the uterus of Rln +/+ mice from days 1 to 4 of pregnancy (Study 1) and in Rln +/+ and Rln -/- mice on days 1 and 4 of pregnancy (Study 2) (n = 6–8). Horizontal bars indicate mean values. Groups within each study that do not share a letter are significantly different from one another, *denotes a significant difference between day 1 and 4 of pregnancy in study 2, significance is p < 0.05Back to article page
