(a) Relative mRNA expression of candidate genes in BOECs cultured with and without (cont) embryos. (b) Relative mRNA expression of PTGES and PGE2 secretion in BOECs cultured with and without (cont) embryos. Data are presented as mean ± SEM of six independent experiments performed in duplicate. Three to four oviducts from three to four different cows were used for BOECs culture in each experiment. *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01 denote significant difference.
