Suppression of Apoptosis by Gonadotropin, 17β-Estradiol, and Epidermal Growth Factor in Rainbow Trout Preovulatory Ovarian Follicles
Abstract
In this study we present the first evidence for the occurrence of apoptotic cell death in ovarian follicles from teleost fish. Preovulatory ovarian follicles from mature hatchery-raised rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) were collected and either immediately frozen in liquid nitrogen or incubated in serum-free medium at 18 degrees for 24 hr. The extent of ovarian apoptotic DNA fragmentation was determined using 3'-end labeling of DNA with …
