Ovulation is a complex process initiated by the preovulatory LH surge, characterized by cumulus oocyte complex (COC) expansion and completed by the release of a mature oocyte. Although many ovarian genes that impact ovulation have been identified, we hypothesized that genes selectively expressed in COCs would be overlooked by approaches using whole ovary or granulosa cell samples. RNA isolated from COCs collected from preovulatory follicles of equine chorionic gonadotropin (CG) primed mice and a ...[more]
