Bisphenol A (BPA) is a highly pervasive chemical in consumer products with its ascribed endocrinedisrupting properties. Several studies have shown the cytotoxic, genotoxic, and carcinogenic property of BPA over a multitude ...

The effect of heterologous fish vitellogenin (Vg)- implantation on growth performance in the juveniles of the catfish, Clarias gariepinus, was evaluated under ambient photoperiod and temperature during February–April (experiment ...

Female reproduction is a blend of neuroendocrine, endocrine, and autocrine/paracrine factors that maintain the appropriate ovarian micro-environment. The growing urbanization prompted exposure to a myriad of environmental ...

Participation of cyclic nucleotide-mediated signaling in nitric oxide/soluble guanylate cyclase (NO/sGC) reg ulation of oocyte maturation (OM) in perch (Anabas testudineus) follicle-enclosed oocytes has been investigated ...

Oogenesis, an amalgamation of the balanced network of neuroendocrine, endo crine, and autocrine/paracrine factors, is inevitable for the production of fertiliz able female gamete and sustenance of a progeny on earth. In ...

Nitric oxide (NO) regulation of ovarian function in mammals has been studied extensively. However, relatively less information is available on NO action on meiotic G2-M1 transition in teleost oocytes. In the present study ...

Nitric oxide (NO, nitrogen monoxide), a short-lived, free radical carrying an unpaired electron, is one of the smallest molecules synthesized in the biological system. In addition to its role in angiogenesis, neuronal ...

Regulation of insulin-mediated resumption of meiotic maturation in catfish oocytes was investigated. Insulin stimulation of post-vitellogenic oocytes promotes the synthesis of cyclin B, histone H1 kinase activation and ...
