Figure 2. Expressions of ovarian paracrine/autocrine factors and their cognate receptors selected for supplementation in in vitro maturation media.

Figure 2

(A) Ovarian paracrine/autocrine ligands, (B) their cognate receptors, and (C) schematic representation of gene expressions. Values are the means of different stages of oocytes including GV (N = 10), MI (N = 8), MII (N = 9), IVM-MII (N = 10) and cumulus cells (N = 5). Error bars represent standard deviation (SD). CNRQ = calculated normalized relative quantity. *: No detected in all samples. a,b or c,d: Values were significantly different (P<0.05), underline: low expression level, #: adopted from Hillier et al. [46].
