Figure 4.

Cell-cycle-related protein content in oviducts collected from unstimulated (Ctr) and hyperstimulated (8R) mice. Representative Western blot images of phosphorylated (p)-MAPKAPK2, p-p38 MAPK, p-SAPK/JNK and p-c-Jun (A). Values are expressed as arbitrary units (a.u.), considering the Ctr values arbitrarily as 1. Bar graph data represent the mean ± SD after normalization of each protein with the respective actin used as a loading control of three independent determinations (B). * p < 0.05, ** p < 0.01, *** p < 0.001 vs. Ctr.
