Figure 2. Expression of genes associated with glucose metabolism before and after an ovulatory stimulus.
Granulosa cells were aspirated before (0 hr), 3, 6, 12 and 24 hr after an ovulatory hCG bolus given to rhesus monkeys undergoing controlled ovarian stimulation (n=3, 3, 4, 3, 4). Levels of mRNA were determined using real-time RT-PCR and data normalized to the internal standard ribosomal protein L19. *, significantly different than pre-hCG (0 hr).
