| Fluctuations of uterine FAAH in the normal oestrous cycle of mouse. FAAH activity and protein content were measured as reported in "Materials and Methods", and were expressed as percentage of the proestrus value (100% = 250 ± 30 pmol/min per mg protein, for the activity; 0.370 ± 0.030 absorbance units at 405 nm, for the protein content). Vertical bars represent S.D. values. Pro, proestrus; Est, oestrus; EMet, early metoestrus; LMet, late metoestrus;Di, dioestrus. |
