Notch2 is required in somatic cells for breakdown of ovarian germ-cell nests and formation of primordial follicles

Table 3 Follicle quantification for Amhr2-Cre/+;Notch2^flox/- and control littermate mice.

Genotype	Mice, n	Total number of follicles^a	Resting pool^{a, b}	Growing pool^{a, c}
Amhr2-Cre/+;Notch2^flox/+	4	3216 ± 494.8	2498 ± 290	718 ± 223
Amhr2-Cre/+;Notch2 ^flox/-	4	1306 ± 415.1^d	418 ± 195^e	888 ± 223

^aValues are expressed as mean ± SD. ^bPrimordial follicles. ^cPrimary, secondary, pre-antral, and antral follicles. ^dP < 0.05, ^e < 0.005.
