Insulin, insulin-like growth factors and glucose transporters: temporal patterns of gene expression in early murine and bovine embryos

Abstract excerpt

mRNA phenotyping by the reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) method was used to compare the patterns of expression of insulin and insulin-like growth factor (IGF) ligand and receptor genes in preimplantation bovine embryos with those established previously for preimplantation murine embryos. In the early bovine embryo, transcripts for IGF-I, IGF-II and mRNAs encoding receptors for insulin,...
