Effect of relaxin on the uterine horn weight, soluble protein, and 14C‐methionine incorporation in the decidualized uterine horn
| Uterine horn weight | Protein concentration (mg/g) | 14C‐methionine incorporation concentration (pmol/g) | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Oil‐stimulated uterine horn (mg) | Stimulated/non‐stimulated | |||
| Control | 97.0 ± 8.7 | 1.23 ± 0.07 | 50.5 ± 2.7 | 3.8 ± 0.1 |
| Relaxin | 165.5 ± 13.9* | 2.43 ± 0.69* | 60.7 ± 2.4* | 5.3 ± 0.6* |
Values represent the mean ± SEM. For weight examination, 12 animals were used, and for the soluble protein assay, 5 animals were used. The lumen of the oil‐stimulated uterine horns was injected with olive oil
