Gene expression and protein distribution of leptin and its receptor in bovine oocytes and preattachment embryos produced in vitro
Many investigations point out the important role of leptin during the preimplantation development. Transcripts for the leptin gene (LEP) and its receptor (LEPR) have been identified in several tissues related to reproduction (e.g. ovaries, testis and oviduct) in both human and mouse. This work shows...
