In sheep granulosa cells cultured with FSH, BMPs stimulated estradiol production with a clear interaction with IGF-I (LR3 analog).
In plain wordsIn cells from sheep, BMPs raised estradiol production and this effect interacted with IGF-I. The study tested BMPs, not IGF-I alone.

Source sentences
Dose-finding studies using ovaries from wild-type sheep obtained from the abbattoir showed no difference among the different BMPs in stimulating (P < 0.001) estradiol (E2) production by GCs cultured with FSH (10 ng/ml), but there was a clear interaction (P < 0.001) with IGF-I.
1 context sentence(design, population, supporting numbers)
Experiments examined the effect of BMP-2, -4, and -6 (0.005-50 ng/ml), and their interaction with IGF-I (0.1-10 ng/ml LR3 analog) and gonadotropins, on the proliferation and differentiation of GCs and TCs isolated from small (<2 mm) antral follicles and maintained in serum-free culture for up to 8 d.
In this study, IGF-1 LR3 was a lab tool or a carrier, part of a mix, or the subject of a lab method. This result is not evidence about taking IGF-1 LR3.
