Detection of RXFP1 and RXFP2 mRNA expression in porcine oocytes. A: RT-PCR analyses show RXFP1 and RXFP2 mRNA expression in oocytes. Neonate porcine uteri mRNA were used as positive control (Ut). B: The quantitative PCR data revealed higher levels of both receptors mRNA in oocytes (GV and MII) compared to cumulus cells (ICC for immature and MCC for mature). Data represent a total of three independent replicates (mean ± sd). Significant differences between RXFP1 and RXFP2 within the ICC (*) and between oocytes and cumulus cells (a,b) (P < 0.05).
