| Abstract | Previous studies have suggested that androgens may play an integral role in early oocyte development in fish. This study evaluated the effects of androgens (11-ketotestosterone: 11-KT and testosterone: T) on gene expression patterns and growth of cod previtellogenic oocytes. cDNA libraries of androgen-responsive genes were generated using suppressive subtractive hybridization (SSH) of clones containing differentially expressed genes in oocytes separately exposed to different concentrations of 11-KT and T, in addition to a solvent control. Secondly, a targeted microarray was developed based on differentially expressed genes. In the experimental setup, tissue was cultured in vitro with different concentrations of 11-KT and T (0, 10 and 100 muM). The array analyses showed 0.5-3.5-fold significant alterations in transcript levels for a number of genes. Real-time PCR and in -situ hybridization were also used to analyze the changes in expression for selected genes. Quantitative histological analyses showed a consistent stereological validation of oocyte growth and development after exposure to androgens. The present study reveals novel roles of androgens on the development of previtellogenic oocytes, suggesting androgen control of early oocyte growth in cod. The strong effects of 11-KT on oocyte growth support our hypothesis that non-aromatizable androgens may exert direct hormonal effects in previtellogenic oocytes, with possible consequences for overt fecundity. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
