Growth homone-dependent potentiation of gonadotropin-stimulated steroid production by ovarian follicles of the goldfish
Abstract
The possible involvement of growth hormone (GH) in the regulation of ovarian function in the goldfish was investigated by determining the effects of common carp GH on steroid production by vitellogenic and preovulatory ovarian follicles incubated in vitro. Carp GH acts in a dose-dependent manner to potentiate the actions of common carp gonadotropin (GtH) on the production of 17 beta-estradiol and testosterone by vitellogenic ovarian follicles …
