Gonadotropins (GTHs), FSH and LH, play central roles in vertebrate reproduction. Here, we
report the production of biologically-active recombinant FSH (r-mtFSH) and LH (r-mtLH) of …

In female Atlantic salmon kept at normal light conditions, pituitary follicle-stimulating
hormone beta (fshb) transcript levels were transiently elevated one year before spawning, re …

Bisphenol A (BPA) is widely spread in the environment, and can cause various reproductive
disrupting effects on different organisms, including fish. Our previous published study …

Gonadal development is precisely regulated by the two gonadotropins luteinizing hormone
(LH) and follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH). Much progress on understanding the functions …

Ovarian folliculogenesis is always of great interest in reproductive biology. However, the
molecular mechanisms that control follicle development, particularly the early phase of …

Since the insulin-like growth factor 3 (igf3) gene was recently discovered in fish ovary, its
function in the gonads has received much attention. In this study, we isolated two igf3 …

Endosulfan (ES), a persistent organochlorine pesticide, is widely used despite its toxicity to
non-target animals. Upon reaching water bodies, ES can cause negative effects on aquatic …

Long-term warfarin use has been reported to increase fracture risk of rib and vertebra but not
hip in elderly patients, but the mechanisms remain unknown. We hypothesized that warfarin …

Kresoxim-methyl (KM) is a broad spectrum strobilurin fungicide that has been used widely
on crops around the world. In the present study, we aimed to investigate the toxic effects of …

Spotted scat (Scatophagus argus) is an important mariculture fish that is of great economic
significance in East and Southeast Asia. To date, there are no studies on ovary development …
