Global hormone profiling of murine placenta reveals Secretin expression
K Knox, D Leuenberger, AA Penn, JC Baker - Placenta, 2011 - Elsevier
OBJECTIVE: To elucidate and categorize the murine placental hormones expressed across
gestation, including the expression of hormones with previously undescribed roles. STUDY
DESIGN: Expression levels of all genes with known or predicted hormone activity expressed
in two separate tissues, the placenta and maternal decidua, were assessed across a
timecourse spanning the full lifetime of the placenta. Novel expression patterns were
confirmed by in situ hybridization and protein level measurements. RESULTS: A …
