Seminal fluid is often assumed to have just one function in mammalian reproduction,
delivering sperm to fertilize oocytes. But seminal fluid also transmits signaling agents that …

BACKGROUND Neurotrophins [nerve growth factor (NGF), brain-derived neurotrophic factor
(BDNF), neurotrophin-3 (NT-3), and neurotrophin-4 (NT-4)] and glial cell line-derived …

Contents The ovulation‐inducing effect of seminal plasma was first reported in Bactrian
camels over 30 years ago, and the entity responsible was dubbed 'ovulation‐inducing …

To investigate the ovulatory mechanisms triggered by raw semen (RS) in rabbits, we
examined the expression of nerve growth factor (NGF)—a supposed ovulation-inducing …

The type of stimuli triggering GnRH secretion has been used to classify mammalian species
into two categories: spontaneous or induced ovulators. In the former, ovarian steroids …

The ovulation-inducing effect of seminal plasma was first suggested in Bactrian camels over
30 years ago, initiating a long search to identify the 'ovulation-inducing factor'(OIF) present in …

Female mammals are classified into spontaneous and induced ovulators based on the
mechanism eliciting ovulation. Ovulation in spontaneous species (eg, human, sheep, cattle …

In some induced-ovulating species, beta nerve growth factor (β-NGF) has important roles in
ovulation, though data for rabbits are still inconclusive. In this study we first synthesized …

[EN] Rabbit is an induced ovulatory species, so ovulation takes place after mating.
Traditionally, exogenous and synthetic hormonal factors (administered by intramuscular and …

Rabbit does are reflex ovulators such that coitus is needed to release GnRH and elicit the
LH surge that triggers the ovulation of mature oocytes. However, the mechanisms eliciting …
