Figure 5.

Effect of sex steroid treatment on uterus PAM mRNA content in OVX rats. Total RNA (10 μg) from individual animals in each treatment group (n = 3) was subjected to Northern analysis. The histogram shows optical density of PAM mRNA signal after normalization with S26 mRNA signal. Results shown are the mean ± SEM of three independent experiments. The asterisk indicates that the values for OVX+E2 and OVX+E2+P rats are significantly different from those for OVX and OVX+P rats (∗, P < 0.0002).
