The concentrations of BNP and CNP in follicular fluid from 3.0 to 8.0 mm follicle were examined by RIA assay (mean ± S. E. M.)
| Follicle diameter (mm) |
BNP (mg/ml) |
CNP (mg/ml) |
|---|---|---|
| 3.0–4.0 | 55.9 ± 2.8 a | 36.3 ± 2.4 a |
| 4.1–5.0 | 56.8 ± 5.4 a | 37.7 ± 3.8 a |
| 5.1–6.0 | 58.9 ± 3.4 a | 39.4 ± 2.6 a |
| 6.0–8.0 | 39.6 ± 6.7 b | 32.3 ± 2.8 b |
At least three follicles were examined at each time point for each experiment. abMeans in the same column with different superscripts were significantly different (p < 0.05)
