Mammalian reproduction is controlled by the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal axis. GnRH
from the hypothalamus regulates synthesis and secretion of gonadotropins, LH and FSH …

The activins were discovered and named based on their abilities to stimulate FSH secretion
and FSHβ (Fshb) subunit expression by pituitary gonadotrope cells. According to …

Long non-coding RNA (LncRNA) have been identified as important regulators in the
hypothalamic-pituitary-ovarian axis associated with sheep prolificacy. However, their …

Members of transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β) superfamily are vital regulators during the
development of fish ovary. However, its intraovarian functions in teleost are still unclear. As …

Abstract Growth differentiation factor 9 (GDF9) is a secreted protein belonging to the
transforming growth factor beta superfamily and has been well characterized for its role …

Gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) acts via G-protein coupled receptors on pituitary
gonadotropes to control reproduction. These are G q-coupled receptors that mediate acute …

Bmpr2 plays a central role in the regulation of reproductive development in mammals, but its
role during ovarian development in fish is still unclear. To ascertain the function of bmpr2 in …

The pituitary gonadotropins, luteinizing hormone (LH), and follicle-stimulating hormone
(FSH) play a pivotal role in reproduction. The synthesis and secretion of gonadotropins are …

Abstract Calsyntenin-2 (CLSTN2) is involved in cell proliferation, differentiation, cell death,
tumorigenesis, and follicular expression. Although CLSTN2 has been identified as a …

Litter size in sheep is a complex trait controlled by micro-effective polygenes. APAF1,
CLSTN2, CTH, PLCB1, PLCB4, and CHST11 are all involved in mammalian reproduction …
