Changes in brain ribonuclease () mRNA in granulosa cells (GC) of dominant versus subordinate ovarian follicles of cattle and the regulation of gene expression in bovine GC

This study was designed to characterize BRB gene expression in granulosa cells (GC) during development of bovine dominant ovarian follicles, and to determine the hormonal regulation of BRB in GC. Estrous cycles of Holstein cows (n = 18) were synchronized and cows were ovariectomized on either day 3 to 4 or day 5 to 6 post-ovulation during dominant follicle growth and selection.
