TABLE 2.

Ovarian genes down-regulated at the end of gestation in a Gα_q/11-dependent fashion by at least two orders of magnitude and P < 0.001.

^aOn 18 dpc Gα_q^f/f;Gα₁₁^−/−;Cre⁻ and Gα_q^f/f;Gα₁₁^−/−;Cre⁺ mice are pregnant. On 22 dpc the Gα_q^f/f;Gα₁₁^−/−;Cre⁺ mice are still pregnant but the Gα_q^f/f;Gα₁₁^−/−;Cre⁻ mice are 1–2 days postpartum.

^bThese genes were chosen for further analysis as discussed in the text.
