Active biosynthesis of steroid hormones in cumulus cells. A Schematic diagram of the biosynthesis of steroid hormones in the cumulus cells during maturation. Increased metabolites in cumulus cells during meiotic resumption are indicated by bold red arrows. Differential metabolic enzymes changes are indicated by blue triangles. B-E Relative levels of metabolites related to steroid hormone biosynthesis in cumulus cells at three time points. F-O Relative abundance of the representative enzymes involved in biosynthesis of steroid hormones. Error bars, SD. Student’s t test was used for statistical analysis in all panels, comparing to GV cumulus cells. n.s., not significant
