Relative expression of differentially expressed genes in oocytes and cumulus cells from L-AFC or H-AFC Nelore heifers. COCs were collected for follicular aspiration 5 days after intravaginal P4 device insertion and estradiol benzoate treatment. The genes are grouped by function as follows: intercellular communication, meiotic control, epigenetic modulation, cell division, follicular growth, cell maintenance, steroidogenesis, cell stress and cell stress response. The L-AFC group is represented by grey bars; the H-AFC group is represented by black bars. Significant differences (P ≤ 0.05) are indicated by a black rectangle surrounding each graph. Bars represent the mean, and error bars represent the standard error of the mean.
