Article Title: Omentin-1 Modulates Porcine Endometrial Steroidogenesis and Tissue Remodelling During Early Pregnancy and the Oestrous Cycle

doi: 10.3390/ijms27177731

Figure Lengend Snippet: The effect of omentin-1 on the endometrial expression of StAR, cytochrome P450 SCC , and 3βHSD during the oestrous cycle and early pregnancy. The effect of omentin-1 (OMEN; 25, 50, and 100 ng/mL) on protein abundances of steroidogenic acute regulatory protein (StAR; ( A – E )), P450 side-chain cleavage enzyme (P450 SCC ; ( F – J )) and 3β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase (3βHSD; ( K – O )) in the in vitro incubated endometrial explants obtained from pigs during early pregnancy (days 10 to 11, 12 to 13, 15 to 16, and 27 to 28) and on days 10 to 12 of the oestrous cycle. Upper panels: representative immunoblots; lower panels: protein content normalized to actin protein; results (arbitrary units) are presented as means ± S.E.M. ( n = 5). Statistically significant differences are presented by different letters ( p < 0.05).
