Iron overload triggering ECM-mediated Hippo/YAP pathway in follicle development: a hypothetical model endowed with therapeutic implications

Frontiers in Endocrinology, 2023
Disruption of iron homeostasis plays a negative role in follicle development. The dynamic changes in follicle growth are dependent on Hippo/YAP signaling and mechanical forces.

Mitochondrial stress response gene Clpp deficiency impairs oocyte competence and deteriorate cyclophosphamide-induced ovarian damage in young mice

Frontiers in Endocrinology, 2023
Chemotherapy is extensively used to treat cancers and is often associated with ovarian damage and leads to premature ovarian insufficiency and infertility, while the role of mitochondria during ovarian damage with chemotherapy remains unknown. This study

Characterization of ovarian follicles, serum steroid hormone concentration, and steroidogenic gene expression profiles in the developing ovarian follicles in White King pigeons

Poultry Science, 2023
: Paired pigeons only lay 2 eggs in a laying period, which is closely related to ovarian follicle development, but this process is not well understood.

Hedgehog Signaling in Gonadal Development and Function

Cells, 2023
Three distinct hedgehog (HH) molecules, (sonic, desert, and indian), two HH receptors (PTCH1 and PTCH2), a membrane bound activator (SMO), and downstream three transcription factors (GLI1, GLI2, and GLI3) are the major components of the HH signaling ...

Coping with large litters: the management of neonatal piglets and sow reproduction

Journal of Animal Science and Technology, 2021
As a result of intensive breeding, litter size has considerably increased in pig production over the last three decades. This has resulted in an increase in farrowing complications. Prolonged farrowing will shorten

Expression of GnIH and its effects on follicle development and steroidogenesis in quail ovaries under different photoperiods

Poultry Science, 2022
: Photoperiod is an important environmental factor that influence seasonal reproduction behavior in bird and GnIH can play a function in this process through the reproductive axis, and some studies suggest that GnIH may have a direct role at the gonadal ...

Thada Is Dispensable for Female Fertility in Mice

Frontiers in Endocrinology, 2022
Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have identified THADA as one of the susceptibility genes for polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the THADA gene showed significant over-transmission in PCOS and strong ...

Androgen and Follicle-Stimulating Hormone Interactions in Primate Ovarian Follicle Development [PDF]

The Journal of Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism, 1999
We have previously shown that androgens stimulate early stages of follicular development and that granulosal androgen receptor (AR) gene expression is positively correlated with follicular growth. The present study was aimed at elucidating potential interactions between FSH and androgens in follicular development.

Follicle Online: an integrated database of follicle assembly, development and ovulation [PDF]

Database, 2015
Folliculogenesis is an important part of ovarian function as it provides the oocytes for female reproductive life. Characterizing genes/proteins involved in folliculogenesis is fundamental for understanding the mechanisms associated with this biological function and to cure the diseases associated with folliculogenesis. A large number of genes/proteins
