In zebrafish, vitellogenic oocytes can incorporate significant amounts of 17β-estradiol released from nearby granulosa cells according to a first-order kinetics, since the steroid low polarity ensures high permeability and affinity for yolk lipids. Estrogen bioactivity is likely, because the materna...
ORGANISM(S): Danio rerio 
Several studies have shown the presence of large reservoirs of maternally contributed liposoluble hormones in the yolk of mature teleost oocytes, such as steroid, thyroid and retinoid hormones, as found in other oviparous vertebrates. This supports the idea that maternal hormones could play a major ...

In zebrafish, ovulated oocytes contain both cortisol deposited from the maternal circulation and maternal mRNA for the glucocorticoid receptor (gr mRNA), which is spread as granular structures throughout the central ooplasm. At the 1-cell stage (0.2 hpf), this transcript is relocated by streamers in...
