Guinea pig pregnancy induces increased expression of cardiac ventricular ADBR1, INSR, and S1P1R. RNA samples were isolated from left ventricles of non-pregnant and late pregnant (Day 68) guinea pig hearts (n = 6); gene-specific quantitative PCR probes were designed for (A) ADRB1, (B) INSR, and (C) S1P1R by alignment with the Cavia porcellus genome and amplicons detected by SYBR green quantification. Results are expressed as mean ±SEM fold change relative to a control RNA sample. Student’s t-test was used to test significance, *P < 0.05.
