Induction of Ovarian Primordial Follicle Assembly by Connective Tissue Growth Factor CTGF
Figure 4
Effect of CTGF and TGFβ-1 treatments on follicle assembly in ovaries cultured for ten days.
Data are presented as the percentage of (A) developing follicles (i.e. those that have undergone follicle transition), (B) assembled follicles (which include developing follicles), and (C) unassembled follicles (mean ± S.E.M.) pooled from six separate experiments (n = 6–13 per treatment group). One-way ANOVA showed a significant (P<0.05) effect of treatment. Bars with asterisks indicate the P-value in comparative pooled t-test vs. the control group. (*)P<0.05, (**)P<0.01.
