Endocrine and molecular regulation mechanisms of follicular development and egg-laying in quails under different photoperiods
6 Apr 2023
Abstract excerpt
Photoperiod is a key environmental factor in regulating bird reproduction and induces neuroendocrine changes through the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal (HPG) axis. OPN5, as a deep-brain photoreceptor, transmits light signals to regulate follicular development through TSH-DIO2/DIO3. However, the mechanism among OPN5, TSH-DIO2/DIO3, and VIP/PRL in the HPG axis underlying the photoperiodic regulation of bird...
