The expression of P 4 synthesis pathway genes in porcine granulosa cells. The comparison of the expression of P4 synthesis pathway genes (3βHSD and P450scc) in granulosa cells derived from non-stimulated gilts with natural estrus (group I; n = 8), stimulated with PMSG/hCG (group II; n = 5) or with PMSG/hCG + PGF2α (group III; n = 7). Values from qPCR were normalized to GAPDH expression. Different superscripts depict significant statistical differences at p < 0.05. Data are expressed in arbitrary units as the ls mean ± S.E.M.
