Serum sex hormones and uterine OTR expression in PGHS1Neo/Neo, PGHS1-KO, and WT mice at late gestation. (A and B) Serum progesterone and estradiol concentrations during late gestation, respectively. Blood was collected via the saphenous vein from mice of each genotype group (n = 4–10) and concentration was determined by sequential competitive immunoassay. *P < 0.001 versus PGHS1Neo/Neo and WT mice at day 19. (C) mRNA expression of OTR in uterus at gestation day 19. Semiquantitative RT-PCR was performed with primers spanning one 11-kb intron to avoid genomic DNA contamination. (D) Relative level of OTR to β-actin expression.
