Transcriptome analysis of granulosa cells after conventional vs long FSH-induced superstimulation in cattle.

Using the large gene expression dataset generated by the genomic analysis and our previous associated with the growth phase and gene expression changes post LH, we can conclude that a prolonged FSH-induced growing phase is associated with transcriptomic characteristics of greater follicular maturity and may therefore be more appropriate for optimizing the superovulatory response and developmental competence of oocytes in cattle.
