Expression of Gdf9 (a), Mater (b) and Npm2 (c) transcripts in in-vitro day 9 germinal vesicle oocytes from AT-follicles (left side) and NA-follicles (right side) exposed to the variable FSH conditions. Germinal vesicle oocytes from 46 h post eCG female mice ovarian antral follicles are included as in vivo control for gene expression and also considered in the statistical analysis. Five to nine pools of oocytes (each pool from 4 to 6 oocytes) were analyzed. Different letters indicate significant differences. ANOVA, p < 0.05
