BACKGROUND Androgens, FSH, anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) and estradiol (E2) are
essential in human ovarian folliculogenesis. However, the interactions between these four …

The production of fertile eggs with the capacity to develop into larvae and subsequently into
marketable fish is centrally important to the aquaculture industry. This entails not only the …

Vertebrate reproduction is controlled by two gonadotropins (FSH and LH) from the pituitary.
Despite numerous studies on FSH and LH in fish species, their functions in reproduction still …

This review summarizes the important role of Anti-Müllerian hormone (Amh) during gonad
development in fishes. This Tgfβ-domain bearing hormone was named after one of its …

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

Reproduction in marine fish is generally tightly linked with water temperature. Consequently,
when adults are exposed to projected future ocean temperatures, reproductive output of …

Although estrogens have been generally considered to play a critical role in ovarian
differentiation in non-mammalian vertebrates, the specific functions of estrogens during …

The molecular properties and roles of luteinizing hormone (Lh) and its receptor (Lhcgrbb)
have not been studied for the medaka (Oryzias latipes), which is an excellent animal model …

Understanding the differential roles of the pituitary gonadotropins Fsh and Lh in gonad
maturation is crucial for a successful manipulation of the reproductive process in fish, and …

Oil sands process-affected water (OSPW) produced by the surface mining oil sands industry
in Alberta, Canada, is toxic to aquatic organisms. Ozonation of OSPW attenuates this toxicity …
