The effect of lysophosphatidic acid during in vitro maturation of bovine cumulus–oocyte complexes: cumulus expansion, glucose metabolism and expression of genes involved in the ovulatory cascade, oocyte and blastocyst competence

Table 2 The effect of LPA supplementation of in vitro oocyte maturation medium on maturation of bovine oocytes

Supplement	Number of oocytes	Immature oocytes, n	Mature (MII) oocytes, n	Maturation rate, %	P value of maturation rate
Control (PBS)	114	40	74^a	64,9^a	0,0242
LPA (10 ⁻⁵ M)	106	22	84^b	79,2^b	0,0242

Proportion of mature oocytes relative to the total number of oocytes
Different letters indicate significant differences (P= 0,0242), as determined by Fisher’s exact test
