From: Relative expression of proprotein convertases in rat ovaries during pregnancy
Relative expression levels of relaxin gene (Rln1) in rat ovaries at Days 4, 9, 11, 13, 15, 18, and 20 of pregnancy, and 3 days postpartum. Relative relaxin mRNA levels were determined by real-time PCR analyses as described in Methods. Results were expressed as “Fold Increase over Day 0 control” of relaxin gene (mean ± S.E.). N = 3; *P < 0.05 compared with Day 0 control.
