Maturation rates of oocytes and levels of FSHR, LHR and GnRHR of COCs response to FSH concentrations in IVM media for sheep

In conclusion, FSH could accelerate the maturation rate of sheep oocytes and reduce their apoptosis rate, also increase the expression levels of FSHR, LHR and GnRHR mRNAs, and strengthen expressions of FSHR and GnRHR proteins. 10 IU/mL FSH additions were the optimal dose for IVM of sheep oocytes.
