Inhibition of gonadotropin‐stimulated ovarian steroid production by polyunsaturated fatty acids in teleost fish
Abstract
The effects of the polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs)--eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), and arachidonic acid (AA)--on in vitro steroid production by full-grown prematurational ovarian follicles from goldfish and rainbow trout were investigated. EPA and DHA inhibited gonadotropin-stimulated testosterone production in a dose-related manner, but AA was inhibitory only at the highest dose tested (400 microM). AA alone …
