From: Studies of the role of steroid hormone in the regulation of oocyte maturation in cattle

		Cumulus expansion (%)
Concentration of AGT (mM)	Number of Oocytes examined	0	+1	+2	+3
Control	120	0^a	12.4 ± 1.3^c	25.0 ± 4.9^e	62.5 ± 4.0^g
0.25	120	0^a	10.9±1.4^c	26.7±0.9^e	62.4±1.7^g
0.50	120	0^a	15.8 ± 3.6^c	34.0 ± 3.1^e	50.2 ± 1.6^g
1.0	130	0^a	50.8 ± 4.2^d	38.4 ± 3.3^e	10.8 ± 2.1^h
