Inhibition of classic estrogen receptors and ALK2/3 together reduces somatic cell differentiation and inhibits PF formation. Primordial follicle index in E15 ovary after culture with either vehicle or BMP2 plus E2 from C0-C8 in the presence or absence of LDN 193,189, an ALK1/2 inhibitor and ICI 182,780, an ESR inhibitor from C6-C8. Each bar represents the PF index ± SEM, n = 4. Data were analyzed by one-way ANOVA with Tukey’s post-hoc test. P < 0.05, bars with different letter, P > 0.05, bars with same letter.
