Gene expression profiles in the oocyte and granulosa cells and concomitant follicular fluid steroid hormone concentrations in pregnant versus non-pregnant she-camels

• Pregnancy induces variations in the number of growing follicles on the ovary. • Pregnancy induces different variations in gene expression in the oocyte. • Pregnancy induces different variations in gene expression in granulosa cells (GCs). • Pregnancy induces different variations in the progesterone (P4) and estradiol (E2) levels in the follicular fluid. A total of 138 pairs of slaughterhouse ovaries were collected from pregnant (n = 46) and...
