Abstract

Vitellogenin (VTG) is a Precursor form of egg yolk Proteins, which appear only in the blood circulation of female fish and its synthesis in the liver is considered to be regulated by several hormones. It has been reported that in addition to estradiol-17 $\beta$ (E2) several hormones are also involved in the production site of VTG, the liver (Peyon et al., 1996; Mori et al., 1998). (omitted)
