Figure 2From: Interleukin-1 (IL-1) system gene expression in granulosa cells: kinetics during terminal preovulatory follicle maturation in the mareNuclear stage of oocyte recovered at different stages of the follicular maturation. The number of oocytes at the germinal vesicle (GV), MI and MII stages were illustrated by histograms in each of the 6 follicular maturation stages (early dominance [ED], end of growth [T0 h], 6 h [T6 h], 12 h [T12 h], 24 h [T24 h] and 34 h [T34 h] after injection of crude equine gonadotropin). Nuclear stage in each group were compared with the non parametric Kruskall Wallis test. *: p < 0.1; **: p < 0.05 at least.Back to article page
