Early avian follicular development is characterized by changes in transcripts involved in steroidogenesis, paracrine signaling and transcription
18 Jan 2011
Abstract excerpt
The mechanisms associated with follicular activation and early growth are not well understood in avian species. Level of mRNA transcripts involved in steroidogenesis (STAR, HSD3B, CYP11A1, CYP19), paracrine signaling (AMH, BMP2, BMP4, BMP6, KITL, WNT4, and PCSK6) and transcription (SMAD1, SMAD2, SMAD3, SMAD5, SMAD9, FOXL3, FOXL2, NR5A1 (SF1), and WT1) were determined in small avian follicles 0.5, 1, and 2 mm in...
