Effects of meal frequency on follicular development in gilts. Serum LH (a) and FSH (b) levels on the 18th day of the 3rd estrous cycle (n = 6–8). c Serum 17β-estradiol levels (n = 6–8) and relative gene expression levels of FSHR (d), LHCGR (e), GDF9 (f), BMP15 (g), CYP11A (h), STAR (i), 3 β-HSD (j) and CYP17A (k) in the cumulus-oocytes complex on the 19th day of the 3rd estrous cycle (n = 5). Labeled means without a common letter differ, P < 0.05. *P < 0.05 (T1 vs. T6); # P < 0.05 (T1 vs. T2)
