Gonadotropins and Nitric Oxide Can Suppress the Expression of Mouse Follicular Bad and Bax Genes
생식소 자극 호르몬과 NO에 의한 생쥐 여포의 Bad와 Bax 유전자 조절
Abstract
the pupose of this study was to investigate the effects of gonadotropin and nitric oxide (NO) on the expression of mouse follicular bad and bax genes that are known induce apoptosis. Large and midium size follicles of immature mice were obtained at 0, 24, and 48 hours time intervals after Pregnant Mare's Serum gonadotropins(PMSG, 5 I.U.) injection. Preovulatory follicles collected at 24 hrs after PMSG injection were cultured with or without various chemicals such as gonadotropin, gonadotropin Releasing hormone(GnRH), testosterone, Sodium nitroprusside (SNP) for 24 hrs at
