ABSTRACT:   The present study investigates the relationship between oocyte development and serum steroid hormone levels in captive Pacific herring, Clupea pallasii , during the first reproductive cycle. The process of oocyte development in Pacific herring belongs to the group-synchronous type. Maturity of the ovary was divided into six periods based on histological observation (i.e. immature (April to September), onset of vitellogenesis (August to October), progress of vitellogenesis (October to December), completion of vitellogenesis (December to March), maturation and spawning (March to April) and spent (late April)). The pattern of seasonal change in the gonadosomatic index (GSI) well reflected the ovarian maturity. Serum vitellogenin levels showed good correlation with change in GSI, which increased from September to a peak (4.2 ± 0.3 mg/mL) in March. Serum estradiol-17β (E2) levels elevated from September and reached a peak (15.8 ± 4.2 ng/mL) in December, and remained comparatively high until March, suggesting that the active vitellogenin synthesis during vitellogenesis is controlled by the high E2 level. 17,20β-Dihydroxy-4-pregnen-3-one showed a single sharp peak (2.4 ± 0.28 ng/mL) in early April of the second year, suggesting it was a maturation-inducing steroid in this species.  相似文献

ABSTRACT:   In order to investigate the influence of estrogen and androgen on reproductive activities of male teleosts, male red sea bream were implanted with silicone capsules containing estradiol-17β (E2), testosterone (T) or 11-ketotestosterone (11-KT) in immature and early spermatogenic stages. One month after implantation of either E2 or T, the gonadosomatic index decreased in accordance with testicular regression in both stages. Implantation of E2 decreased circulating 11-KT levels but did not affect gonadotropin (GTH) subunits, follicle stimulating hormone-β (FSHβ), luteinizing hormone-β (LHβ), α glycoprotein subunit (αGSU) gene expression, and serum LH levels in both stages. Alternatively, T decreased serum 11-KT and LH levels, and FSHβ and LHβ mRNA levels in the early spermatogenic stage but not in the immature stage. These results suggest E2 may directly inhibit testicular development through the suppression of 11-KT production. Meanwhile, T may decrease serum 11-KT levels through the suppression of FSH and LH secretion, resulting to inhibition of testicular development in the early spermatogenic stage. Treatment with 11-KT did not affect the testis in either stage, whereas 11-KT increased LHβ and αGSU mRNA levels in immature, and decreased FSHβ mRNA levels in the early spermatogenic stage. These results suggest that 11-KT may have different effects on GTH subunit gene expression in each reproductive stage.  相似文献

ABSTRACT:   Because blood vitellogenin (Vg) has been considered a biomarker for environmental estrogens, the basal levels of Vg and 17β-estradiol (E2) were determined in male Japanese whiting reared under natural conditions. Serum levels of Vg and E2 were measured and gonadal development was assessed by gonadosomatic index (GSI) and histological observation in 8–10 male fish at monthly intervals throughout the annual reproductive cycle. Serum E2 was <60 pg/mL throughout the study period. In contrast, serum Vg exhibited seasonal changes: serum levels of Vg gradually increased from April to May (mean 63 ± 13 ng/mL and 124 ± 48 ng/mL in April and May, respectively), and then reached a peak value (mean 352 ± 68 ng/mL) in June. Thereafter, serum Vg gradually decreased, reaching undetectable levels (<50 ng/mL) in October. Serum levels of Vg tended to increase in the male fish in which the GSI was >1%. Histological observation revealed that testes in such male fish were in active spermatogenesis and then all of the testes of male fish in which serum Vg decreased to ND levels were regressed. These results suggest that Vg productive potency (sensitivity to estrogens) may increase in the spermatogenic stage, resulting in production of Vg in response to very low levels of natural or xenobiotic estrogens.  相似文献

ABSTRACT: The filamentous fungi Rhizopus , like many fungal species, possesses physiologically active substances. Rhizopus extract (RU) is reported to be effective for various aspects of growth and reproduction in many vertebrates. The effects of RU administration on body growth and plasma levels of steroid hormones were investigated in lacustrine sockeye salmon Oncorhynchus nerka . One-year-old fish were fed daily with RU (20 mg/kg feed) from July 1999 to October 2000 for 15 months. Fish were sampled every month and plasma levels of testosterone (T), 11-ketotestosterone (11-KT), estradiol-17β (E2) and 17α,20β-dihydroxy-4-pregnen-3-one (DHP) were measured by time-resolved fluoroimmunoassay. Body growth of RU-fed fish of both sexes increased significantly in 1+ and 2+ October, and 2+ January–March and July. All RU-fed males and one female matured in 2+ October. RU-fed 1+ precociously mature males showed increased plasma levels of T, 11-KT and DHP in 1+ October. In 2+ males, RU significantly elevated plasma levels of T from May to June, 11-KT from June to July, and DHP in October. In sockeye salmon, administration of RU accelerated body growth of both sexes and sexual maturation in males, suggesting physiologically active substances present in RU enhance somatic growth and sexual maturation by sex-specific mechanisms.  相似文献

ABSTRACT:   In order to clarify the roles of androgen and gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) on gonadotropin (GTH; luteinizing hormone [LH] and follicle stimulating hormone [FSH]) synthesis, effects of castration and implantation of GnRH analog (GnRHa) or 11-ketotestosterone (11-KT) on expression of GTH subunit, α-glycoprotein subunit (αGSU), FSHβ, and LHβ genes, during the early spermatogenic stage in male red seabream Pagrus major were examined. Male red seabream underwent castration or sham-operation and were subsequently implanted with cholesterol pellets containing GnRHa, silicone capsules filled with 11-KT, or blank capsules (control). FSHβ mRNA levels increased due to castration, and it was reversed by treatment with 11-KT. 11-ketotestosterone treatment also decreased FSHβ mRNA levels in sham-operated fish. These results suggest that 11-KT acts on the pituitary to suppress FSH synthesis in male red seabream. On the other hand, neither castration nor replacement of 11-KT in castrated fish had effects on LHβ mRNA levels, whereas 11-KT treatment had slightly but significantly decreased LHβ mRNA in sham-operated fish. αGSU mRNA levels were not changed by castration or 11-KT treatment in both sham-operated and castrated fish. Meanwhile, treatment with GnRHa significantly decreased FSHβ mRNA levels in sham-operated fish, but not in castrated fish. This suggests that GnRHa may down-regulate expression of FSHβ mRNA through the production of 11-KT in testis. LHβ and αGSU mRNA levels in sham-operated fish, but not in castrated fish, were significantly elevated by treatment with GnRHa.  相似文献

In the present study, the testis histology, gonadosomatic index (GSI), germ cell proliferation and apoptosis, and the plasma 11-ketotestosterone (11-KT) and testosterone (T) levels of male Chalcalburnus tarichi were analyzed. According to the histological examinations of the specimens that were caught between February 2009 and January 2010, three testicular stages were determined. Those stages were as follows: (1) recrudescence or prespawning (July–April), (2) spawning (May–June), and (3) postspawning (July). It was observed that the GSI increased gradually, starting from the recrudescence stage, and it reached peak values at the spawning stage, while the lowest values were in the postspawning. Germ cell proliferation in the testis was detected using a proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA), and germ cell apoptosis was detected by transferase dUTP nick end labeling staining. The germ cell PCNA and apoptosis index values were calculated. It was indicated that germ cell proliferation was observed in all of the testicular stages. The highest germ cell PCNA index (PI) levels were detected in July, August, and September, which then dropped in October and stabilized between February and April. The lowest PI values were detected in the spawning stage (May–June). Germ cell apoptosis was observed in all of the months, and the highest apoptotic index values were detected in August, September, October, May, and June. Plasma 11-KT and T levels were at their highest levels in May and June, and it was detected as stabile in the other months. There was a correlation between GSI, PI, and plasma androgen levels. In conclusion, the present data illustrate testicular development stages for C. tarichi and show changes in the level of GSI and sex steroid biosynthesis through spermatogenesis.  相似文献

The annual reproductive cycle of walleye (Stizostedion vitreum) was characterized by documenting changes in gonadal development and serum levels of estradiol-17β (E2), testosterone (T), 17α,20β-dihydroxy-4-pregnen-3-one (17,20-P), and 11-ketotestosterone (11-KT) in wild fish captured from upper midwestern lakes and rivers throughout the year. Fish from the populations used in this study spawn annually in early- to mid-April. Walleye showed group synchronous ovarian development with exogenous vitellogenesis beginning in autumn. Oocyte diameters increased rapidly from ∼ 200 μm in October to ∼ 1,000 μm in November, and reached a maximum of 1,500 μm just prior to spawning. Changes in gonadosomatic indices (GSIs) paralleled changes in oocyte diameters. Serum E2 levels in females increased rapidly from low values in October (< 0.1 ng ml−1) to peak levels of 3.7 ng ml−1 in November, coinciding with the period of the most rapid ovarian growth. Subsequently, E2 levels decreased from December through spawning. Serum T levels exhibited a bimodal pattern, increasing to 1.6 ng ml−1 in November, and peaking again at 3.3 ng ml−1 just prior to spawning. We detected 11-KT in the serum of some females at concentrations up to 5.6 ng ml−1, but no seasonal pattern was apparent. In this study (unlike our results in a related study) 17,20-P was not detected. In males, differentiation of spermatogonia began in late August, and by January the testes were filled (> 95% of germ cells) with spermatozoa. Mature spermatozoa could be expressed from males from January through April. GSIs ranged from 0.2% (post-spawn) to 3.2% (pre-spawn). Serum T levels rose from undetectable levels in post-spawn males to 1.6 ng ml−1 by November, remained elevated throughout the winter, and peaked at 2.8 ng ml−1 I prior to spawning. Levels of 11-KT in males remained low (< 10 ng ml−1, from post-spawning through January, then increased significantly by March and peaked just prior to spawning at 39.7 ng ml−1. Our results indicate that vitellogenesis and spermatogenesis are complete or nearly so, in walleye by early winter, and suggest that it may be possible to induce spawning in this species several months prior to the normal spawning season by subjecting fish to relatively simple environmental and hormonal treatments.  相似文献

Abstract.— Captive-reared, 10-mo-old, male striped bass Morone saxatilis were sampled monthly for testicular development between February and June 1994. One of the five males sampled in February showed precocious testicular development and had a gonado-somatic index (GSI) of 1.26%. while the other four fish had immature testes with a mean GSI ± sx, of 0.17 ± 0.03%. Spermiating individuals were present from April to June. In April the average body weight (BW) of spermiating males was 65 ± 4 g and their GSI reached a mean value of 4.75 ± 0.52%. In June, milt collected from ten precocious males contained motile spermatozoa with a mean of 31 ± 7% of the sperm showing forward movement. Mean milt volume and sperm concentration were 1.67 ± 0.41 mL/kg BW and 92.3 ± 1.8 ± 109 spermatozoa/mL. respectively. These data show that male striped bass reared in captivity can reach sexual maturity during their first year. This is one year earlier than previously reported for striped bass in mid-Atlantic regions.  相似文献

The present study was undertaken to develop a comprehensive understanding of how environmental cues and sex steroids relate with cyclic changes in spermatogenesis in freshwater spotted snakehead Channa punctatus that is nutritious and economically important. The seasonal histological changes in testis and annual profile of gonadosomatic index (GSI) of C. punctatus delineated the testicular cycle into four phases: regressed (December–March), preparatory (April–June), spawning (July and August) and postspawning (September–November). Among environmental variables, correlation and regression analyses exhibited an important relationship between photoperiod and testicular weight while role of rainfall was seen confined to spawning. The seasonal profile of plasma sex steroids when correlated with cyclic changes in spermatogenesis in spotted snakehead, testosterone (T) seems to be involved in controlling the major events of spermatogenesis from renewal of stem cells to spawning of spermatozoa. Another important androgen prevalent in teleosts, 11-ketotestosterone (11-KT), was high during preparatory phase, suggesting that 11-KT in addition to T plays an important role in progression of spermatogenesis and spermiation in C. punctatus. However, 11-KT was not seen to be associated with milt production and release of spermatozoa during spawning. Plasma profile of estradiol-17β (E2) during different reproductive phases revealed the involvement of E2 in repopulation of stem cells during postspawning phase and in maintaining quiescence of testis during regressed phase.  相似文献

To elucidate the role of gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) in gonadal maturation in wild female Japanese flounder Paralichthys olivaceus, we monitored changes in the levels of seabream GnRH (sbGnRH) in the olfactory bulb, telencephalon, hypothalamus, and pituitary during ovarian development together with changes in plasma levels of testosterone (T), estradiol-17β (E2), and 17α, 20β-dihydroxy-4-pregnen-3-one (DHP). Fish were caught offshore of the northern mainland of Japan in the Pacific Ocean at 3- to 4-week intervals between April and September by gill net. The netted fish were categorized into six groups based on ovarian stages: previtellogenic (April–early May), early yolk (April–late May), late yolk (late May–June), early spawning (June–August), late spawning (September), and termination (September) stages. The gonadosomatic index significantly increased from the previtellogenic to early spawning stages and decreased thereafter. In the olfactory bulb, no significant differences were observed in sbGnRH levels among the developmental stages. In contrast, sbGnRH levels in the telencephalon and hypothalamus were very high in the previtellogenic stage, lower in the early spawning stage, and relatively high in latter stages. sbGnRH levels in the pituitary were high in the previtellogenic stage and low in the early spawning stage. In addition, the relatively high levels of pituitary sbGnRH were found together with high plasma T, E2, and DHP levels in fish in the late yolk stage. These results indicate that sbGnRH in the telencephalon, hypothalamus, and pituitary is involved in ovarian maturation and that sbGnRH may play an important role in the initiation of ovarian recrudescence in wild Japanese flounder.  相似文献

Immature and maturing male New Zealand freshwater eels, the shortfinned Anguilla australis and the longfinned A. dieffenbachii, were caught from the wild to obtain data on the natural reproductive physiology of these fish. Plasma samples were analysed for steroid hormones by radioimmunoassay and values related to the developmental stage of the testes. Our histological observations on testes largely confirmed those reported previously. Thus, the gonad of non-migrating eels often appeared undifferentiated or poorly developed, containing only type A or early type B spermatogonia. In contrast, the testes of migrating shortfins were in early spermatogenesis as evidenced by the presence of late type B spermatogonia. Similarly, early spermatogenic stages were common in migratory longfins, but eels in midspermatogenesis (all germ cell stages present) were also encountered. Unlike a previous study, patches of testicular regression were commonly seen in migrants of both species. Levels of several androgens, androstenedione (AD), testosterone and 11-ketotestosterone (KT), were elevated in migrants compared to non-migrants. AD was higher in early to midspermatogenic A. dieffenbachii (0.63 ng ml–1) than in A. australis (0.25 ng ml–1) in the spermatogonial proliferation stage, while the inverse was observed for KT (27.78 ng ml–1 and 50.52 ng ml–1, respectively). Levels of 17,20-dihydroxy-4-pregnen-3-one were nearly undetectable (less than 0.12 ng ml–1) in all animals. Plasma 17-hydroxyprogesterone concentrations in fyke-caught eels were elevated to a greater extent in non-migrants (up to 1.92 ng ml–1) than in migrants (around 0.5 ng ml–1), and correlated well with levels of cortisol in all groups. Histological results are compared to previous studies and the presence of regression in the testes is discussed. In addition, the role of steroid hormones, in particular AD and KT, in reproduction and stress is considered.  相似文献

Changes in serum concentrations of estradiol-17β, testosterone, 17α,20βdihydroxy-4-pregnen-3-one, and vitellogenin were investigated during ovarian development induced by injection of a salmon pituitary extract in cultured European eel Anguilla anguilla . Vitellogenesis was induced with a weekly dose of 50 mg pituitary extract/kg body weight. In eels receiving that dose, gonadsomatic indices ranged from 20–43% after the 10th–11th weekly injection. Body weights were relatively stable during vitellogenesis, but increased dramatically during final maturation. Serum estradiol-17β levels increased slightly during vitellogenesis and peaked at an average of 6.95 ng/mL at final maturation. The profile of serum vitellogenin followed that of estradiol-17β which increased markedly from an average of 0.36 to 20.72 mg/mL. Control levels of vitellogenin were undetectable throughout the study. Average serum levels of testosterone increased to a peak of 17.74 ng/mL in the early stage of vitellogenesis, followed by a sharp drop to initial levels (3.86 ng/mL) in the late stage of vitellogenesis, and then increased again to an average of 8.84 ng/mL at the final maturation stage. Serum 17α,20β-dihydroxy-4-pregnen-3-one was not detected (<50 pg/mL) throughout the experiment. Profiles of serum estradiol-17β, testosterone, and vitellogenin observed during ovarian development appear different from those found in salmonids and other teleosts. This study indicates, however, that cultured European eels are a useful model for study of gonadal maturation in the eel.  相似文献

ABSTRACT:   The in vitro effects of 17,20β-dihydroxy-4-pregnen-3-one(DHP) and prostaglandins (PGE1, PGE2, PGF1α,PGF2α) on ovulation in the Japanese eel Anguillajaponica were examined. Oocytes with follicle layers at themigratory nucleus stage (approximately 850–900 µmdiameter) were removed using a polyethylene cannula from artificiallymatured fish. At concentrations of 10 and 100 ng/mL,DHP was found to induce both germinal vesicle breakdown and ovulation.The prostaglandins, except for PGE1, effectively inducedovulation of previously matured oocytes by DHP treatment in vitro .Prostaglandin F2α was the most effective. Asignificant increase in ovulation rate was observed even at a concentrationof 0.01 µg/mL PGF2α.Indomethacin blocked the in vitro ovulation induced by DHPand addition of PGF2α reversed indomethacin-blockedovulation. Actinomycin D and cycloheximide blocked DHP-induced ovulationand PGF2α reversed the effects of both inhibitors. Theseresults indicate that DHP induces ovulation through endogenous prostaglandinsynthesis in the follicle layers of the Japanese eel.  相似文献

Fish spermatogenesis, from spermatogonial stem-cell renewal to sperm maturation, is controlled by the sex steroid hormones. Mitotic divisions of spermatogonia can be categorized by spermatogonial stem cell renewal and spermatogonial proliferation. Spermatogonial renewal is regulated by estradiol-17β (E2; the natural estrogen in vertebrates), and spermatogonial proliferation toward meiosis is promoted by 11-ketotestosterone (11-KT), the main androgen in teleost. The action of E2 and 11-KT is mediated by other factors produced by Sertoli cells; E2 is mediated by spermatogonial stem-cell renewal factor and 11-KT is mediated by spermatogenesis preventing substance and activin B. Although 11-KT also induce meiosis and spermiogenesis, the control mechanisms of these processe are not clear. After spermiogenesis, immature spermatozoa undergo sperm maturation. Sperm maturation is regulated by 17α,20β-dihydroxy-4-pregnen-3-one (DHP), which is progestin in teleost. The DHP acts directly on spermatozoa to active the carbonic anhydrase existed in the spermatozoa. This enzymatic activation causes an increase in the seminal plasma pH, enabling spermatozoa to motile.  相似文献

The effects of aromatizable 17α-methyltestosterone (MT) and non-aromatizable 17α-methyldihydrotestosterone (MDHT) on sex inversion in red-spotted grouper, Epinephelus akaara, were investigated. Fish were implanted with MT, MDHT and MT+AI (aromatase inhibitor, AI) respectively for one month. The results showed that the three treated groups turned into transitional stage with intersex gonads, which contained atretic oocytes and spermatogenic germ cells at all stages of spermatogenesis. The controls did not change sex. The gonads of more than half MT-implanted fish were in early transitional stages of sex inversion, whereas those of more than half MDHT and MT+AI-implanted fish were in late transitional stages of sex inversion. No difference in serum estradiol-17β (E2) levels between the controls and the treated groups were observed, whereas 11-ketotestosterone (11-KT) and testosterone (T) levels increased in all treated groups. Significantly lower gonadosomatic index (GSI) and gonadal aromatase activity were observed in the treated groups, which were in accordance with the lower mRNA expression of P450aromA. However, P450aromB mRNA expression increased in the MT group, while it did not change in the MDHT group. These results suggest that the sex inversion of red-spotted grouper by MT and MDHT implantation might be due to the suppression of P450aromA gene expression, and resulting in both the decrease of the ovarian estrogen –secretion, as well as the increase in the 11-KT levels. Furthermore, the main reason for MT being less effective than MDHT might be due to partial aromatization of MT to estrogen.  相似文献

The involvement of testosterone (T), estradiol-17β (E2), 11-ketotestosterone (11-KT), 17,20β-dihydroxy-4-pregnene-3-one (DHP), luteinizing hormone (LH), thyroxine (T4), and triiodothyronine (T3) in the regulation of downstream and upstream movement (swimming behavior) was investigated in land-locked sockeye salmon Oncorhynchus nerka, using an artificial raceway. During the downstream migratory period, T implant resulted in high plasma T levels and inhibited the occurrence of downstream swimming behavior (negative rheotaxis) in yearling (1+) immature smolts. In terms of upstream behavior, 2-year-old (2+) males exhibited high plasma T and 11-KT levels, while 2+ females had elevated T and DHP levels. In 1+ immature fish, a T implant induced upstream swimming behavior (positive rheotaxis). In experiments 1 and 3, the plasma T4 and T3 levels of non-migrants tended to be higher than those of migrants. In contrast, no marked changes in plasma and pituitary LH were found in both downstream and upstream migrants. These results suggest that sex steroids, such as T, play significant roles in the regulation of downstream and upstream swimming behaviors in land-locked sockeye salmon.  相似文献

ABSTRACT:   Reproductive biology of the common ponyfish Leiognathus equulus was described based on 958 specimens caught by otter trawlers in the south-western waters off Taiwan and landed at Tungkang and Linuan fishing ports from March 2000 to February 2001. Macroscopic appearance of the ovary, gonad-somatic index, oocyte diameter frequency distribution, and histological examination suggested that the spawning season of the common ponyfish in south-western Taiwan waters is from May to August. Eight stages of oocyte development were determined based on histological examination, and ovarian development can be divided as immature, early maturing, late maturing, mature and spent stages. The sex ratio of 0.52 was not significantly different from 0.5 using χ2 test, but females were overwhelmingly more when fork length (FL) was greater than 170 mm. The relations between fecundity (F), batch fecundity (BF), and body weight (BW) were estimated to be F =−5328 + 1.2946 BW ( n  = 132, P  < 0.05) and BF = −11.26 + 0.2748 BW ( n  = 25, P  < 0.05), respectively. Mean fecundity and mean batch fecundity (± standard error) were estimated to be 129 955 ± 79 343 and 28 160 ± 14 698, respectively. Sizes at 50% maturity estimated from the Logistic model were 162 mm FL and 158 mm FL for females and males, respectively.  相似文献

To examine the roles of gonadal steroids in the regulation of expression of gonadotropin subunit genes, male red seabream were gonadectomized and a sub-group was treated with 11-ketotestosterone (11-KT). Castration of males during the early stage of spermatogenesis elicited a significant increase in FSHβ mRNA levels, which was prevented by 11-KT replacement. By contrast, LHβ mRNA levels were not changed by castration or 11-KT replacement. In addition, administration of 11-KT to sham-operated males suppressed the steady-state FSHβ and LHβ mRNA levels. These results indicate that 11-KT may function as a negative feedback regulator of FSHβ gene expression, and may act through the testis to down-regulate LHβ mRNA levels in male red seabream during this period.  相似文献

Climate change is predicted to increase the average water temperature and alter the ecology and physiology of several organisms including fish species. To examine the effects of increased water temperature on freshwater fish reproduction, adult European bullhead Cottus gobio of both genders were maintained under three temperature regimes (T1: 6–10, T2: 10–14 and T3: 14–18°C) and assessed for gonad development (gonadosomatic index—GSI and gonad histology), sex steroids (testosterone—T, 17β-estradiol—E2 and 11-ketotestosterone—11-KT) and vitellogenin (alkali-labile phosphoprotein phosphorus—ALP) dynamics in December, January, February and March. The results indicate that a 8°C rise in water temperature (T3) deeply disrupted the gonadal maturation in both genders. This observation was associated with the absence of GSI peak from January to March, and low levels of plasma sex steroids compared with T1-exposed fish. Nevertheless, exposure to an increasing temperature of 4°C (T2) appeared to accelerate oogenesis with an early peak value in GSI and level of plasma T recorded in January relative to T1-exposed females. In males, the low GSI, reduced level of plasma 11-KT and the absence of GSI increase from January to March support the deleterious effects of increasing water temperature on spermatogenesis. The findings of the present study suggest that exposure to elevated temperatures within the context of climate warming might affect the reproductive success of C. gobio. Specifically, a 4°C rise in water temperature affects gametogenesis by advancing the spawning, and a complete reproductive failure is observed at an elevated temperature of 8°C.  相似文献
