This paper presents a summary of experimental studies which utilized the White Leghorn cockerel, Gallus domesticus, as a suitable avian model for a detailed analysis of the mode of action of the seco-steroid vitamin D. It is now apparent that there exists a complex endocrine system which coordinates

The presence of an ovarian follicular hierarchy is a characteristic feature of reptiles and birds. The hierarchy contains follicles at all stages of maturation and therefore, varying degrees of sensitivity to the ovulation-inducing effects of the gonadotropins. In the hen, ovulability is gained as t
The avian pancreas has three or four lobes and develops from a dorsal and two ventral buds. The cells that will contribute to formation of the dorsal bud are at first located in the mid-dorsal endoderm, those of the ventral buds in the floor of the foregut. The determination of endoderm to form dors
The effects of several mammalian reproductive toxins on reproductive endocrine function in female Atlantic croaker (Micropogonias undulatus) were examined. Croaker were exposed to sublethal concentrations of lead, cadmium, benzo[a]pyrene (BaP), or a polychlorinated biphenyl mixture (Aroclor 1254) fo
Studies utilizing the developing chicken embryo have significantly augmented our understanding of the ontogeny of endocrine regulation during major critical periods of embryonic development. These embryos currently provide the only available models for elucidating the onset of endocrine function dur
