Gestational age‐dependent changes in Ptgs2 (A, B) and Ptgfr (C, D) mRNA abundance in late gestation in rat uterus and effect of IL‐1β administration (20 μg, i.p.) or vehicle in upper (A, C) and lower (B, D) uterine segments (n = 3–7 dams). There were gestational age‐dependent increases in mRNA abundance of Ptgs2 in upper (*P < 0.05) and lower uterus (**P < 0.01) and of Ptgfr in upper (**P < 0.01) and lower uterus (**P < 0.01). IL‐1β administration stimulated a late increase in laboring dams in Ptgs2 mRNA abundance in upper uterus (*P < 0.05).
