Superovulation of TR4+/+, TR4+/−, and TR4−/− Genotypes
| Genotype | n | Oocyte Count
|
|
|---|---|---|---|
| Average | Range | ||
| TR4+/+ | 5 | 27.0 ± 4.7 | 20–32 |
| TR4+/− | 5 | 26.2 ± 3.7 | 21–31 |
| TR4−/− | 5 | 14.6 ± 4.0a | 8–19 |
Female mice (n = 5) for each genotype at age 26 d were subjected to superovulation treatment. Oocytes were then surgically extracted from their oviducts, and oocytes were counted after hyaluronidase digestion for 10 min. Results are presented as mean ± sd.
