Quantification of RAC1 mRNA expression by RT-qPCR analysis in different-sized ovary follicles. It was normalized with respect to 18S rRNA. The stroma from the ovary contains matrix tissue from large follicles (≥1 mm in diameter), small follicles (<1 mm in diameter), atretic follicles, somatic and other cells. Represented are means and standard error of means (mean ± SEM) of data from chickens (n = 10). Values with unlike superscripts designate a statistically significant differences (p < 0.05).
