Inner medullary P2Y2 and P2Y4 receptor mRNA expression and protein abundance. Relative mRNA expression and total protein abundance of P2Y2 (a, c) and P2Y4 (b, d) receptor in the inner medulla from male, ovary-intact female, and OVX Sprague Dawley rats (representative Western blots are presented). Gene expression and protein abundance values represent fold change from ovary-intact female levels. n = 4-8 rats in each group. Statistical comparisons performed using one-way ANOVA followed by Sidak’s post hoc tests. ANOVA results: P2Y2 mRNA: P = 0.004, F = 7.1; P2Y4 mRNA: P = 0.007, F = 8.0; P2Y2 protein: P = 0.02, F = 4.9; P2Y4 protein: P = 0.5, F = 0.7
