Growth rate of follicles cultured for 6 days with serum (♦), T3 (◊), FSH (■) and FSH+T3 (□). Groups with different letters differ in a statistically significant fashion.

3. FIGURE 2
Dose-dependent effect of T3 on the proportion of FSH-stimulated follicles developing the AC after 6 days of culture. Groups with different letters differ in a statistically significant fashion.

4. FIGURE 3
Proportions of follicles developing the AC after 6 days of culture in the presence of FSH, alone or in combination with T3. In some experiments, T3 was removed from the culture medium after 1 to 5 days and follicles were further cultured up to a total of 6 days. Groups with different letters differ in a statistically significant fashion.

5. FIGURE 4
Rates of (A) GVBD and (B) PB1 extrusion in in vitro matured oocytes released from IVG follicles with (■) or without (□) the AC. About 80 to 100 oocytes were analyzed for each experimental condition. Groups with different letters differ in a statistically significant fashion.
