Abstract
OBJECTIVE: Our purpose was to test the hypothesis that nitric oxide signals regulate the expression of the gap-junction protein connexin 43 in primary uterine myocytes from pregnant women at term. STUDY DESIGN: Northern analysis and immunoblotting were used to determine the expression of connexin 43 in myocytes cultured in the presence of the nitric oxide donors S-nitroso-N-acetyl-penicillamine (SNAP) (100
