Egg deposition of maternal testosterone is primarily controlled by the preovulatory peak of luteinizing hormone in Japanese quail.

General and comparative endocrinology - 15 Jan 2018

Okuliarova Monika, Meddle Simone L, Zeman Michal

Abstract excerpt

Differential transfer of maternal testosterone (T) into egg yolk provides a means of adjusting an offspring's phenotype to ambient environmental conditions. While the environmental and genetic driven variability in yolk T levels is widely described, the underlying mechanisms are poorly understood. Here, we investigated whether neuroendocrine mechanisms controlling ovulatory processes are associated with the...
