Abstract
⺠We evaluated levels of c-kit mRNA in goat follicles and invitro effects of KL. ⺠Goat preantral follicles were cultured in α-MEM+ supplemented with KL and/or FSH. ⺠c-kit mRNA was higher in primordial and primary follicles than in secondary stage. ⺠KL without FSH improved follicular development, oocyte growth and meiotic resumption. ⺠KL-positive effects were not observed in the presence of FSH.
