Evaluation of changes in the expression of Wnt/beta-catenin target genes in mouse reproductive tissues during estrous cycle: an experimental study

ABSTRACT

Background: The Wingless-type [Wnt]/beta-catenin signaling pathway controls cell homeostasis. Reproductive tissues are dynamic in response to steroidal hormone changes. Steroidal hormones are known to control the Wnt/beta-catenin pathway, but their role in reproductive tissues remains unknown
