Comparative Gene Expression Profiling in Human Cumulus Cells according to Ovarian Gonadotropin Treatments
Figure 4
Relationship between amount of amplified CCs mRNA and blastocyst quality. Three groups of blastocysts (good, intermediary, or bad quality) were obtained from top and good 8-cell embryos at day 3. The Kruskal-Wallis test was used to indicate that at least one of the groups is different from the others (, Kruskal-Wallis test), and the Wilcoxon test was used to establish whether group AA-AB is significantly different from group BB and/or group CC. *A significant difference in the concentration of amplified CC mRNA between two groups of blastocysts. CC samples () were from oocytes that developed in top and good 8-cell embryos at day 3. AA-AB: good blastocyst grades (); BB: intermediary blastocyst grades (); CC and others: bad blastocyst grades (). Bars represent the mean ± SEM.
