Expression of CCN4 (A) and CCN6 (B) mRNAs in the endometrium during the estrous cycle and pregnancy in pigs. Endometrial tissue samples from cyclic (Cy) and pregnant (Px) gilts were analyzed by real-time RT-PCR, and data are reported as the expression relative to that detected on Day 12 of the estrous cycle after normalization to the transcript amount of the endogenous RPL7, UBB, and TBP mRNAs. Data are presented as the mean with standard error. RT-PCR, reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction; RPL7, ribosomal protein L7; UBB, ubiquitin B; TBP, TATA binding protein; **p < 0.05.
