ADRB2 and ADRB3 immunoreactive proteins expression in myometrium of non-pregnant and pregnant women. (A) Representative western blot analysis of ADRB2- and ADRB3 expression in plasma membranes from myometrium of non-pregnant and pregnant women. Expected sizes are 67 kDa for ADRB2 and 68 kDa for ADRB3. These experiments were performed on myometrium from five non-pregnant and five pregnant women. Homogenate of Chinese Hamster Ovary cells transfected with the human ADRB3 (ADRB3-CHO) was used as positive control. (B) Analysis of the expression of ADRB2 and ADRB3 immunoreactive proteins in myometrium of non-pregnant and pregnant women. A.D.U. represents the intensity of the bands evaluated by densitometry. Each bar represents the mean ± s.e.m. from five different non-pregnant and five different pregnant women. Figure reproduced from the paper by Rouget et al. [29].
