From: Relative expression of proprotein convertases in rat ovaries during pregnancy
Relative expression levels of Pcsk6, Pcsk7, Mbtps1 and Pcsk9 in rat ovaries at Days 4, 9, 11, 13, 15, 18, and 20 of pregnancy, and 3 days postpartum. Relative proprotein convertase mRNA levels were determined by real-time PCR analyses as described in Methods. Results were expressed as “Fold Increase over Day 0 control” of the corresponding gene (mean ± S.E.). N = 3; *P < 0.05 compared with Day 0 control
