Fig 2. RXFP1& RXFP2 mRNA and protein expressions in the hamstring muscles.
The expression of (A) RXFP1 mRNA (B) RXFP2 mRNA and (C) the ratio of RXFP1& RXFP2/ β-actin and Western blot images of these proteins in the hamstring muscle homogenates. The highest RXFP1 and RXFP2 mRNA and protein expressions were observed at proestrus followed by diestrus. *p<0.05 as compared to estrus for the respective isoforms. Ps-proestrus; Es-estrus; Ms; metestrus; Ds; diestrus. Data were expressed as mean ± SEM and n = 6 per study group.
