Celebrating 50+ years of research on the reproductive biology and endocrinology of the green frog: An overview
2020, General and Comparative EndocrinologyCitation Excerpt :Concomitant with the increase in E2, VTG levels are high in the liver, plasma, and ovary (Varriale et al., 1988; Polzonetti-Magni et al., 2004). The effects of gonadotropins enhance the VTG uptake, presumably by acting directly on the oocyte plasma membrane (Gobbetti et al., 1985; Carnevali and Mosconi, 1992). Further, in in vivo and in vitro systems, hepatic VTG synthesis can be induced by GH in both sexes (Carnevali et al., 1995) and involve tyrosine kinase and cAMP in GH-induced VTG synthesis (Carnevali et al., 2000).
Vulnerability of marsh frog Pelophylax ridibundus to the typical wastewater effluents ibuprofen, triclosan and estrone, detected by multi-biomarker approach
2017, Comparative Biochemistry and Physiology Part - C: Toxicology and PharmacologyCitation Excerpt :The induction of vitellogenesis by estrogen E1 in frog was expected. The dependence of the serum vitellogenin level on physiological doses of estradiol in Rana esculenta was described earlier (Gobbetti et al., 1985). The chronic exposure of wood frog Lithobates sylvaticus to 17α-ethynylestradiol, the synthetic estrogen used in oral contraceptives, during the larval period led to the elevated abundances of transcripts of vitellogenin A2 in the liver (1.8–280-fold greater compared to controls).
17β-Estradiol induces supernumerary primordial germ cells in embryos of the polychaete Platynereis dumerilii
2014, General and Comparative EndocrinologyCitation Excerpt :Estrogens are steroid hormones involved in a multitude of processes related to reproduction, including sex determination, maturation of sexual organs, gametogenesis, induction of vitellogenesis, estrous cycles, and mating behaviors (Butcher et al., 1974; Gobbetti et al., 1985; Pfaff, 1970; Wallen, 2005).
Immunolocalization of hepatic estrogen and progesterone receptors in the female lizard Uromastyx acanthinura
2012, Comptes Rendus - BiologiesCitation Excerpt :It consists in the synthesis of vitellogenin, its specific incorporation in primary oocytes in growth, and accumulation of yolk [1–3]. In the liver of all oviparous species, the synthesis of vitellogenin is under control of estrogen [4–14]. Growth hormone plays a direct role in potentiating the induction of hepatic 17β-estradiol [15–17], and its action could be associated with hepatic synthesis of estrogen receptors.
Multihormonal control of vitellogenesis in lower vertebrates
2004, International Review of CytologyCitation Excerpt :This protein is normally never detected in untreated males, although the hepatocytes are capable of synthesizing the yolk precursor when stimulated with unphysiologically high doses of estradiol-17β. This aspect has been pointed out in several oviparous species (Carnevali et al., 1992b, 1995; Gobbetti et al., 1985a; Mosconi et al., 1998, 2002b) including the Mixiniformes Lampetra fluviatilis (Mewes et al., 2002). Regarding chondrichthyan fishes, it has recently been shown that in Torpedo marmorata, oocyte growth is not only caused by the uptake of exogeneous molecules but also by the contributions of the oocytes themselves (Prisco et al., 2002); in oviparous dogfish, Scyliorhinus canicula (Craik, 1978a,b,c,d, 1979), and in the little skate, Raja erinacea (Perez and Callard, 1992), vitellogenesis does not differ fundamentally from that of other vertebrates in the mechanisms of synthesis and storage of vitellogenin.
