TL;DR: In this article, the in vivo chronic and in vitro acute effects of di(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP) on the reproductive function of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPARG) were studied in rabbit corpora lutea (CL) at early (day 4), mid (day 9), and late (day 13) stages of pseudopregnancy.

Is Corticosterone Involved in the Reproductive Processes of the Male Lizard, Podarcis sicula sicula?
TL;DR: The data suggest that B could involved in the reproduction of P. s.
Journal ArticleDOI
Nitric oxide synthase acutely regulates progesterone production by in vitro cultured rabbit corpora lutea.
TL;DR: It is suggested that NO is effectively involved in the regulation process of steroidogenesis, independently of 17beta-oestradiol.
Journal ArticleDOI
Nitric oxide synthase activity and progesterone release by isolated corpora lutea of rabbits in the early and mid-luteal phases of pseudopregnancy are modulated differently by prostaglandin E-2 and prostaglandin F-2alpha via adenylate cyclase and phospholipase C.
TL;DR: A functional role for NOS in regulating the steroidogenic capacity of rabbit CL is supported, and a novel interaction between a stimulatory G-protein-coupled receptor and PKC/PKA-mediated signal transduction modulating NOS activity is revealed.

TL;DR: In males, resveratrol enhances testes function and spermatogenesis through activation of the AMPK pathway and has been supplemented to semen extenders, improving the preservation of sperm quality.
