Inhibition of LH-induced mRNA for COX-2 (also known as PTGS2) by mifepristone (MIFE) is overcome by concurrent progestogen (MPA) treatment. Relative levels of mRNA for COX-2 were determined by semi-quantitative RT-PCR and calculated by correcting for the intensity of the band for the 18S subunit of rRNA in each sample. Data are the means ± SEM of cultures from each of 4 preovulatory follicles. nd = not detectable. Within a time in vitro values with different superscripts differ (P < 0.05). (Data are derived from Bridges et al., 2006).
