Triacylglyceride physiology in the short-finned eel,Anguilla australis—changes throughout early oogenesis

Abstract: During certain stages in an animal's life cycle, energy requirements may exceed energy intake from the diet. The spawning migration of temperate eels is a textbook example of negative energy balance, forcing these fish to rely on stored fats (triacylglycerides) to provide their muscles with energy for swimming and their growing oocytes with the nutrients needed to develop and support healthy offspring. We predicted broad implications of this great need for endogenous triacylglycerides in terms of their packagi… Show more

“…Recent findings indicate that numbers of ldlr transcripts increase in the 'previtellogenic' ovary (containing Stage I and II follicles) as the oocytes progress from primary growth into ESG (early "lipid droplet stage") and decrease with onset of vitellogenesis, whereas vtgr/vldlr transcript numbers also increase at onset of ESG, remaining elevated in early vitellogenesis (Damsteegt et al, 2015b). However, no information is available on the cellular distribution of these transcripts or their product receptor proteins.…”

“…Two target genes were chosen, one known to be highly expressed in the three tissues of interest (mitochondrial ribosomal protein L36: l36) and one with a lower level of expression (low density lipoprotein receptor: ldlr). Primer sequences have been published previously (l36 [9]; ldlr [10]). A total of 40 cycles of amplification (95 C for 5 s, 62 C for 10 s, 72 C for 5 s) were run before a melting curve analysis was performed to evaluate sudden changes in fluorescence and ensure primer specificity.…”

“…Primer sequences are listed in either Damsteegt et al (6) or Setiawan et al (39). All quantitative PCRs were carried out exactly as explained in Damsteegt et al (8) and in keeping with the guidelines for the minimum information for publication of quantitative real-time PCR experiments [MIQE (2)].…”
