The Effect of Citral on Aquaporin 5 and Trpv4 Expressions and Uterine Contraction in Rat—An Alternative Mechanism
Aquaporins (AQPs) are expressed in the uterus, playing a physiological role during pregnancy. An osmotic pathway—through AQP5—may modify the transient potential vanilloid 4 (TRPV4) function and uterine contraction.
