Subgroup of genes connected to follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) and luteinizing hormone (LH) from a top ranked gene network.

<p>It is associated with Post-Translational Modification, Cellular Development, Cellular Growth and Proliferation as identified by Ingenuity Pathways Analysis. Top ranked gene network was obtained from comparisons of differential expression between CC MII and CC MI. Genes are represented as nodes, and the biological relationship between two nodes is represented as edge (line): a plain line indicates direct interaction, a dashed line indicates indirect interaction; a line without arrowhead indicates binding only, a line finishing with a vertical line indicates inhibition; a line with an arrowhead indicates ‘acts on’. The green colour intensity of the nodes indicates the degree of down-regulation in the CC MII group. CC MI: cumulus cells of metaphase I oocytes. CC MII: cumulus cells of metaphase II oocytes.
