Fig 3. RXFP1& RXFP2 mRNA and protein expressions in the patellar tendon.

Fig 3

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