GJis reduced the rate of blastocyst formation of mouse embryos at E4.5, but it caught up at E5.5. The vertical axis shows the rate of blastocyst formation. The horizontal axis shows the concentration of GJis. Oleamide was compared at a concentration of 0, 5, 10, 20, or 50 μM. 1- heptanol was compared at a concentration of 0, 0.1, 1, 5, or 10 mM. Data are means. p < 0.001 (*), p < 0.05 (**), for each group versus DMSO 0.1 % group as a control. a: The rate of blastocyst formation in embryos cultured with oleamide at E4.5. b: The rate of blastocyst formation in embryos cultured with oleamide at E5.5. c: The rate of blastocyst formation in embryos cultured with 1-heptanol at E4.5. d: The rate of blastocyst formation in embryos cultured with 1-heptanol at E5.5
