Table 4 TGF-β1, IL-10 and IL-6 concentrations (mean ± SD, pg/ml) in follicular fluid from different treatment groups [seminal plasma (SP), n = 3; spermatozoa in BTS (Sperm), n = 4; fresh semen in BTS (FS), n = 3 and Beltsville thawing solution (BTS), n = 3], sampled 5–6 h after insemination

From: Seminal plasma did not influence the presence of transforming growth factor-β1, interleukine-10 and interleukin-6 in porcine follicles shortly after insemination
