The effect of LPA (10−5M) supplementation of oocyte maturation medium on mRNA abundance of factors involved in apoptosis: a, b BAX, c, d BCL2 and e, f the BAX/BCL2 ratio in oocytes (a, c, e) and in blastocysts (b, d, f). The values are presented as arbitrary units and expressed as mean ± SEM. Different letters indicate significant differences (P < 0.05), as determined by Student’s t-test
