IntroductionThe pituitary and liver are among the main sites of action of estrogens in fish. Years of research has shown that xenoestrogens can interfere with functions of estrogens. There is however incomplete understanding of xenoestrogen targets genes,

Gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) is a fundamental driver of human reproduction. A pulsatile pattern of GnRH secretion is essential to achieve pituitary stimulation, gonadotropin secretion, and normal gonadal function.

Duplicated membrane estrogen receptors in the European sea bass (Dicentrarchus labrax): Phylogeny, expression and regulation throughout the reproductive cycle [PDF]
The numerous estrogen functions reported across vertebrates have been classically explained by their binding to specific transcription factors, the nuclear estrogen receptors (ERs).

Responsiveness of bovine cumulus-oocyte-complexes (COC) to porcine and recombinant human FSH, and the effect of COC quality on gonadotropin receptor and Cx43 marker gene mRNAs during maturation in vitro [PDF]
Substantially less development to the blastocyst stage occurs in vitro than in vivo and this may be due to deficiencies in oocyte competence. Although a large proportion of bovine oocytes undergo spontaneous nuclear maturation, less is known about ...

Hypoxia is common with preterm birth and may lead to long‐term effects on the adult hypothalamic–pituitary–adrenal (HPA) axis that are sexually dimorphic due to neonatal androgens.

Hormone Receptor Site Maturation in the Secondary Sex Organs of Immature Male and Female Rats [PDF]
The effect of a combined dose of pregnant mares\u27 serum (PAAS) and human chor ionic gonadotropin (HCG) on male and female rats 2-25 days old was studied. Groups of animals were given injections for three days, then sacrificed on the fourth day.

The size of mature oocytes is similar across mammalian species, yet the size of ovarian follicles increases with species size, with some ovarian follicles reaching diameters more than 1000-fold the size of the enclosed oocyte.

Oocyte maturation in the toad Rhinella arenarum (Amphibia, Anura): Evidence of cAMP involvement in steroid production and action [PDF]
In this work, we describe the participation of the adenylate cyclase/3′-5′-cyclic adenonsine monophosphate (cAMP) pathway in the seasonal follicular secretion of progesterone (P 4 ) and testosterone (T), and its relationship with the maturation of ...

TMC4 localizes to multiple taste cell types in the mouse taste papillae
Transmembrane channel‐like 4 (TMC4), a voltage‐dependent chloride channel, plays a critical role in amiloride‐insensitive salty taste transduction. TMC4 is broadly expressed in all mature taste cell types, suggesting a possible involvement of multiple cell types in this pathway.
