Effect of passage number or estrous cycle stage on enzymes of cellular metabolism mRNA expression. Normalized mRNA expression of a BDH2; and d OXCT2 in BOEC of in vivo samples and of cell culture passages P0, P1, P2 and P3 with LOW and HIGH glucose medium content (n = 8); and e magnified inset of OXCT2 in BOEC in cell culture passages P0, P1, P2 and P3 with LOW and HIGH glucose medium content as well as normalized mRNA expression depending of the phase of the estrous cycle on day of collecting cells of b BDH2 in LOW glucose medium; c BDH2 in HIGH glucose medium; f OXCT2 in LOW glucose medium; and g OXCT2 in HIGH glucose medium (n = 4). Different letters indicate significant difference (P < 0.05) between cell culture passages of the same glucose medium content (ab and de for LOW and HIGH glucose medium content, respectively). Asterisk on top of the line represents significant difference between the different estrous cycle phases on day of collection (P < 0.05)
