Ovarian function in teleosts, like in other vertebrates, is regulated by two distinct
gonadotropins, follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) and luteinizing hormone (LH) …

Melatonin, the neurohormone mainly synthesized in and secreted from the pineal gland of
vertebrates following a circadian rhythm, is an important factor regulating various …

Prostaglandins are a series of unsaturated fatty acids that play critical roles in regulating
reproductive events. The prostaglandins endoperoxide H synthases-1/2 (PGHS-1/2; also …

In organ regeneration, progenitor and stem cells reside in their native microenvironment,
which provides dynamic physical and chemical cues essential to their survival, proliferation …

Reproduction is an energetically costly event across vertebrates and tightly linked to
nutritional status and energy reserves. In mammals, the hormone leptin is considered as a …

Prostaglandins (PGs) are a type of physiologically active unsaturated fatty acids. As an
important sex pheromone, PGs play a vital role in regulating the reproductive behaviors of …

We have previously shown that the prostaglandin E 2/Ptger4b receptor system is involved in
ovulation in teleost medaka and induces intracellular actin cytoskeleton rearrangement in …

Nuclear progestin receptor (PGR), which is induced in the follicles destined to undergo
ovulation, is believed to be obligatory for rupture of the follicles during ovulation in …

Ovulation in European eel is induced by injection of 17α, 20β-dihydroxy-4-pregnen-3-one
(DHP) as the maturation-inducing hormone (MIH). Female eels need to ovulate within 18 h …

Previous studies have implicated the nuclear progesterone receptor (Pgr or nPR) as being
critical to ovulation in fishes. This study investigated the expression of Pgr in zebrafish …
