Activin Stimulation of Zebrafish Oocyte Maturation in Vitro and Its Potential Role in Mediating Gonadotropin-Induced Oocyte Maturation1
1 Oct 1999
Abstract excerpt
Activin plays important roles in the regulation of vertebrate reproduction. Using zebrafish, Danio rerio, as a model, the present study aimed at investigating the role of activin in the regulation of final oocyte maturation. Administration of recombinant goldfish activin B significantly increased the rate of oocyte maturation in vitro in a dose- and time-dependent manner. The effect of activin seemed to be...
