Role of signal transduction molecules in oocyte maturation and early embryo development (A review)

Abstract

The object of the review article is the role of signal transduction molecules in the metabolism from a special point of view on reproduction. The author has examined the effect of the signal transduction molecules as: IGF ((Insulin-like Growth Factor), EGF (Epidermal Growth Factor), VEGF (Vascular Endothelia Growth Factor), TGF (Transforming Growth Factor) FGF (Fibroblast Growth Factor) NGF (Nerve Growth Factor) and leptin on the oocyte maturation and embryo development
