Membrane receptor cross talk in gonadotropin-, IGF-I-, and insulin-mediated steroidogenesis in fish ovary: An overview.

TL;DR: Investigation on the mechanism of signal transduction regulating fish ovarian steroidogenesis have shown that multiple, apparently independent signalTransduction pathways are needed to convey the message of single hormone or growth factor.
Journal ArticleDOI

Effects of steroids on germinal vesicle breakdown in vitro of intact follicles in the japanese whiting, Sillago japonica, a marine teleost

TL;DR: The specificity for steroid-stimulated GVBD in Japanese whiting is consistent with several previous studies involving salmonids and various other teleosts, and suggests a possible physiological role for a 20β-dihydroprogestin in oocyte maturation of Japanesewhiting.
Journal ArticleDOI

Development of an in vitro system for functional studies of ovarian follicular cells in European sea bass (Dicentrarchus labrax)

TL;DR: An in vitro homologous system that enables functional and gene expression studies and resembles the in vivo situation in the ovarian follicle is developed.
Journal ArticleDOI

17β-Hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type 12 is responsible for maturation-inducing steroid synthesis during oocyte maturation in Nile tilapia.

TL;DR: The present study strongly suggests that 17β-HSD12, and not CR/20β- HSD, is the 20β-hsD responsible for DHP production by ovarian follicles during oocyte maturation in Nile tilapia.
Journal ArticleDOI

Cytodifferentiation of ovarian follicle cells during oocyte growth and maturation.

TL;DR: It is established that the granulosa cells are the site of production of these two mediators of oocyte growth and maturation in salmonids, but production by the ovarian follicle depends on the provision of precursor steroids by the thecal cell (two-cell type hypothesis).
