: Granulosa cells were collected during routine oocyte collection procedures by two experienced embryologist (M.C. and M.V.) at the WVU Center for Reproductive Medicine. Cells were then picked up by the experimenters (E.B. and J.F.) and taken back to the Department of Biology laboratory where the experiments described were performed. Due to the fact that the experimenters were utilizing otherwise discarded materials, had no direct contact with the patient, and were not privy to any identifying information for each patient, this project was declared to be exempt by the Institutional Review Board (IRB) at West Virginia University.
