Fig. 4From: The proliferative effect of cortisol on bovine endometrial epithelial cellsThe effect of cortisol on PI3K and AKT phosphorylation in bovine endometrial epithelial cells. (a) Cells were treated with cortisol (15 ng/mL) for 0, 15, 30, 45 and 60 min. (b) Cells were treated with cortisol (5, 15 and 30 ng/mL) for 30 min. The p-PI3K, PI3K, p-AKT and AKT levels were determined by Western blotting analysis. The total PI3K or AKT protein levels were used as the internal control. Three uteri (different sets of culture cells) were used for analysis. The data are presented as the means ± SEM. * p < 0.05, ** p < 0.01 vs the control groupBack to article page
