In the mammalian ovary, FGF10 is expressed in oocytes and theca cells and is a candidate for paracrine signaling to the developing granulosa cells. To gain insight into the participation of FGF10 in the regulation of fetal ...

In the ovary, angiotensin II (ANGII) acts through the type 2 receptor (AGTR2) to induce ovulation and may play a role in follicle atresia. In this study, we determined the expression of AGTR2 mRNA and protein during follicle ...

Melanocortin receptors (MCRs) are involved in physiological responses to ACTH, as well as to -, - and -melanocytestimulating hormone ( -, - and -MSH). Their expression has previously been analyzed in various bovine ...

Glucocorticoids (GCs) such as cortisol and corticosterone are important steroid hormones with different functions in intermediate metabolism, development, cell differentiation, immune response and reproduction. In response ...

Cystic ovarian disease (COD), which is considered one of the most important causes of reproductive failure in dairy cattle, induces intraovarian changes in the expression of numerous genes. The purpose of this study was ...

The aim of this study was to characterize the expression of glucocorticoid receptor (GR) in the components of normal bovine ovary and in animals with cystic ovarian disease (COD). Changes in the protein and mRNA expression ...

Melanocortin receptors (MCRs) are involved in physiological responses to ACTH, as well as to α-, β- and γ-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (α-, β- and γ-MSH). Their expression has previously been analyzed in various bovine ...
