Abstract excerpt
Parturition in rodents is highly dependent on the engagement of the luteal prostaglandin F2 alpha receptor, which, through activation of the Gq/11 family of G proteins, increases the expression of Akr1c18, leading to an increase in progesterone catabolism. To further understand the involvement of Gq/11 on luteolysis and parturition, we used microarray analysis to compare the ovarian transcriptome of mice with a...
