In this study, we tested the hypothesis that there is altered abundance of transcripts of genes coding for the enzymes cytochrome P450 17 alpha-hydroxylase (P450(17 alpha)), cytochrome P450 aromatase (P450(arom)), and 3 beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase (3 beta-HSD) in follicles of cattle hyperstimu...
