Compared proteomic analysis of 8 ‐ and 32‐week‐old postnatal porcine ovaries

In this study, we used tandem mass tag quantitative proteomics to describe, for the first time, protein expression patterns of postnatal pig ovaries. Proteins involved in hormone metabolic pathways and maintenance, proliferation, and regulation of stem cells were identified. With further analysis by Interactive Pathway Explorer, proteins enriched in metabolism of steroid hormones, metabolism of lipids, and energy metabolism pathway were upregulated in the 32‐week‐old group, indicating physiological characteristics of sexual maturity. These findings have implications in applications of biomedicine.
