Fig. 3.
Semi-quantitative analysis of fluorescence intensity of CaV3.1 and CaV3.2 on TCs from non-pregnant and pregnant myometrium. Roughly, one can observe that the level of fluorescence intensity is around 50 or below for SMCs, while in TCs the level is above this value. Histogram depicts that CaV3.1 is expressed approximately equal on TCs in non-pregnant versus pregnant myometrium. Instead, CaV3.2 is expressed more in the TCs of the pregnant myometrium versus non-pregnant myometrium. The fluorescence intensity was higher at the level of the Tps for both CaV3.1 and CaV3.2, in non-pregnant and pregnant myometrium
