NGF-stimulated CCs inhibited the production of ODPFs in oocytes. a Schematic diagram of the culturing system. b Relative mRNA levels of Gdf9, Bmp15 and Fgf8 in oocytes cultured as in (a) were determined by real-time qPCR. ≥35 oocytes were obtained for RNA extraction in each group. Data of three independent experiments are presented as mean ± SEM. The student’s t-test was used for statistical analysis. *p < 0.05; **p < 0.01
