Peptide Growth Factors Modulate Prostaglandin E and F Production by Goldfish Ovarian Follicles
Abstract
This study examines the effect of epidermal growth factor (EGF) on prostaglandin synthesis by goldfish ovarian follicles at different developmental stages. Early vitellogenic follicles (EVIT), vitellogenic follicles (VIT), and prematurational full-grown follicles (PMFG) were examined. EGF alone had no effect on prostaglandin synthesis whereas production of PGE2 and PGF2alpha was enhanced in the presence of the eicosaniod precursor arachidonic …
