Real-time quantitative RT-PCR analysis of CL and RAMPs in uterine arteries from ovariectomized rats (OVX) treated with either estradiol (OVX+E₂), progesterone alone (OVX+P₄), or both (OVX+E₂+P₄). Changes in levels of mRNAs of CL, RAMP₁, RAMP₂, and RAMP₃ relative to that of 18S in the uterine arteries are presented from four replicate samples, and each of the samples consists of pooled uterine arteries from three animals. *, P ≤ 0.05 (one-way ANOVA followed by Bonferroni posttest). F_(3,12) = 14.30.
