Fig. 1From: Pre-implantation exogenous progesterone and pregnancy in sheep. II. Effects on fetal-placental development and nutrient transporters in late pregnancyEndometrial expression of mRNAs affected by treatment (a-g) and fetal number (h) in ewes treated with either progesterone (P4) or corn oil (CO). Expression of mRNAs for SLC7A1 (a), SLC7A2 (b), SLC2A1 (c), SLC2A5 (d), SLC2A8 (e), ODC1 (f), and AGMAT (g) was greater in endometria of ewes treated with P4 compared to ewes treated with CO. Expression of mRNAs for AZIN2 (h) was greater in endometria of ewes pregnant with two fetuses compared to those with one fetus. Mean values and SEM are presented. n = 5–9 samples per groupBack to article page
