The expression patterns of genes associated with proliferation during early folliculogenesis: (a) G1/S-specific cyclin-D2 (CyclinD2); (b) proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA); (c) cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor 1 (P27); (d) cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor 1B (P21). Three samples in each group were used for gene quantification. Normalization was performed using the housekeeping gene Actb as control. Data were expressed as mean ± SEM. Statistical significance was determined using one-way ANOVA followed by Tukey post hoc test. The difference is significant or not depends on whether one or more identical superscript letters (a–d) between groups exist (p > 0.05) or not (p < 0.05).
