Figure Lengend Snippet: (A) Relative mRNA expression of the up-regulated genes vtg1 , vtg3 , vtg5 , esr1, cyp19a1b and f13a1a at different time points as determined by RT-qPCR and microarray analysis. (B) Relative mRNA expression of the down-regulated genes hpx , fkbp5 , fabp10a , agxtb , pnp4b , nlf1 , f2 , klf9 , zgc: 92590 and zgc: 110053 at different time points as determined by RT-qPCR and microarray analysis. (C) Relative mRNA expression of the non-changed genes esr2a , esr2b , rbp2a and dlgap1a at different time points as determined by RT-qPCR and microarray analysis. White bars represent microarray results and black bars RT-qPCR results. Asterisk denotes significant difference (* P <0.05, ** P <0.01; unpaired Student’s t-test compared to the controls), n≥3 biological replicates except for genes fabp10a , agxtb and zgc:110053 which were 2 biological replicates ; each replicate consists of 30 pooled embryos.
