SELECTED FUNCTIONS OF GROWTH FACTORS FROM TGF-β SUPERFAMILY IN REPRODUCTION PROCESSES IN RUMINANTS
Journal Title: Folia Pomeranae Universitatis Technologiae Stetinensis Agricultura Alimentaria Piscaria et Zootechnica - Year 2016, Vol 39, Issue 328
Abstract
Transforming growth factors are considered as one of the most important substances, widely affecting the functioning of female reproductive system. Special attention of the research conducted in many centers is devoted to detailed description of growth factors effect on the ovarian cortex layer, which mainly consists of ovarian follicles and oocytes contained in them. Despite many years of research in this field, there are still many not explained issues concerning an influence of individual factors, as well as the effects of their interaction. Due to an increasingly faster development of breeding works, but also the need for more information in the context of reproductive physiology of livestock animals, it was decided to present in this article the current state of knowledge concerning the effects of certain growth factors from TGF-β superfamily on reproductive system of cows, goats and sheep.
