Fig. 4From: Gut microbiota contributes to the development of endometrial glands in gilts during the ovary-dependent periodFMT shifted uterine gland development-related hormones and gene expression in recipient LxY gilts. Dynamic shifts of uterine gland development-related hormones estradiol (a), progesterone (b), and IGF-1 (c). The concentrations of estradiol (d) and progesterone (e) in ovary tissue; and IGF-1 concentration (f) in uterine tissue. The relative mRNA expression of endometrial gland development-related genes (g). *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01, ***P < 0.001, data were shown as means ± SEM; n = 7Back to article page
