[EN] Gonadotropin-releasing hormone receptor (GnRH-R) activation stimulates synthesis and release of
gonadotropins in the vertebrate pituitary and also mediates other processes both in the brain and in
peripheral tissues. ...
[EN] Characterization of all the progestin receptor genes (PRs) found in the European eel has been performed. There were five membrane PRs (mPRs): mPR alpha (alpha), mPRAL1 (alpha-likel), mPRAL2 (alpha-like2), mPRy (gamma), ...
[EN] Wild female European eels were matured with CPE (carp pituitary extract) under three thermal regimes, two of
which were variable (T10–15 and T15–18, moving from 10 to 15 °C and from 15 to 18 °C, respectively) and ...
[EN] This research investigated the regulation of aromatase and
androgen receptor gene expression in the brain–pituitary–
gonad (BPG) axis of male and female European eels (Anguilla
anguilla) during induced sexual ...
[EN] Activation at fertilization of the vertebrate egg is triggered by Ca2+ waves. Recent studies suggest the phospholipase C zeta (PLC zeta), a sperm-specific protein, triggers egg activation by an 1P3-mediated Ca2+ release ...
[EN] Vertebrate eggs are surrounded by an extracellular glycoprotein coat termed zona pellucida (ZP). Integrity
of ZP is critical for a correct embryo development. Two zona pellucida protein genes (zpb and zpc)
from ...
