Abstract
In this study we have investigated the role of 17beta-estradiol and progesterone in the reproduction of the crayfish Cherax albidus by using vitellogenin (VTG) as a biomarker. Early-vitellogenic (EV), full-vitellogenic (FV), and non-vitellogenic (NV) females of Cherax albidus were treated with 17beta-estradiol, progesterone, or both for 4 weeks. Levels of VTG mRNA in the hepatopancreas were detected by RT-PCR. The PCR product was sequenced and showed 97% homology with Cherax quadricarinatus VTG. 17beta-estradiol was more effective than progesterone and 17beta-estradiol plus progesterone in increasing the vitellogenin transcript in the hepatopancreas of EV and FV females. On the contrary, progesterone was more effective than 17beta-estradiol and 17beta-estradiol plus progesterone in increasing the vitellogenin concentration in the hemolymph of EV and FV females. Hepatopancreas histology and fatty acid composition of females injected with hormones showed major modifications. No effects were registered in NV females. In conclusion, 17beta-estradiol and progesterone influence VTG synthesis, although our data indicate that they act through different pathways and are not effective until the proper hormonal environment is established, as demonstrated by their inefficacy in NV females.

Abstract
The objective of this study was to investigate the synthesis site of vitellogenin in the Chinese mitten-handed crab, Eriocheir sinensis. Using the RT-PCR techniques, the cDNA fragments isolated from the ovaries of vitellogenic female crab, we found that its deduced amino acid sequence had a high identity with that from other decapods crustacean vitellogenin. This cDNA fragments were used as probes to examine the transcription of mRNAs encoding the Vg. The mRNA expression was observed in vitellogenic female hepatopancreas, which was not detected in any other tissues including muscle, heart, and subepidermal tissues. The positive immunocytological staining with antibody against vitellin were found in ovaries and hepatopancreas of vitellogenic female, which was determined by immunological and immunohistochemical techniques. These results suggest that both ovaries and hepatopancreas are capable of synthesizing vitellogenin. Therefore, it was concluded that hepatopancreas is the extraovarian site of vitellogenin synthesis in E. sinensis.

Abstract
Vitellin was purified from ovaries of mature female Chinese mitten-handed crab (Eriocheir sinensis) using gel filtration chromatography. Analysis by native PAGE showed the vitellin had a native molecular mass of 520 kDa, while denaturing SDS-PAGE revealed two subunits of 97 and 74 kDa. Purified vitellin was used to raise polyclonal antisera, with which an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was developed. The ELISA was sensitive and could effectively detect vitellin in the range of 7.8-500 ng. Furthermore, vitellin levels in various developmental stages of oogenesis were measured with the ELISA assay. The results indicated that levels of vitellin increased significantly from 0.22 mg/ovary at Stage II to 360.31 mg/ovary at Stage IV.

Abstract
The comparative approach on how and when vitellogenesis occurs in the diverse reproductive strategies displayed by aquatic and terrestrial lower vertebrates is presented in this chapter; moreover, attention has been paid to the multihormonal control of hepatic vitellogenin synthesis as it is related to seasonal changes and to vitellogenin use by growing oocytes. The hormonal mechanisms regulating vitellogenin synthesis are also considered, and the effects of environmental estrogens on the feminization process in wildlife and humans have been reported. It is then considered how fundamental nonmammalian models appear to be, for vitellogenesis research, addressed to clarifying the yolkless egg and the evolution of eutherian viviparity.

Abstract
A cDNA encoding vitellogenin (Vg) in the giant freshwater prawn, Macrobrachium rosenbergii, was cloned based on the cDNA sequence of vitellin (Vn) fragments A-N and B-42 determined previously, and its amino acid sequence deduced. The open reading frame (ORF) encoded 2,537 amino acid residues and its deduced amino acid sequence possessed three consensus cleavage sites, R-X-R-R, similar to those reported in Vgs of insects. The deduced primary structure of Vg in M. rosenbergii was seen to be similar to that of Penaeus japonicus, especially in the N-terminal region. It is therefore likely that Vgs in crustacean species including prawns and other related decapods exhibit a similar structural pattern. Based on the deduced primary structure of Vg and analysis of the various Vg and Vn subunits found in the hemolymph and ovary during ovarian maturation, we demonstrated the post-translational processing of Vg in M. rosenbergii. This is the first time that Vg processing has been clearly demonstrated in a crustacean species. Vg, after being synthesized in the hepatopancreas, is considered to be cleaved by a subtilisin-like endoprotease to form two subunits, A and proB, which are then released into the hemolymph. In the hemolymph, proB is possibly cleaved by a processing enzyme of unknown identity to give rise to subunits B and C/D. The three processed subunits A, B, and C/D are sequestered by the ovary to give rise to three yolk proteins, Macr-VnA, VnB, and VnC/D.

Abstract
An oocyte-yolk protein was purified by double-step chromatography from amphioxus ovaries. The purified protein appeared to exist as a homodimer of approximately 320 kDa in native polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (PAGE), and was reduced to a single monomer of approximately 160 kDa in sodium dodecyl sulfate-PAGE (SDS-PAGE). The protein was characterized as a phospholipoglycoprotein by native PAGE and staining of gels for phosphorus with methyl green, for lipids with oil red O and Sudan black B, and for carbohydrates using periodic acid/Schiff reagent. In addition, the amino acid composition of the oocyte-yolk protein was generally similar to that of vitellogenins (Vgs) isolated from different phyla of animals including both vertebrates and invertebrates. The purified phospholipoglycoprotein is thus considered as putative amphioxus Vg.

Abstract
Four major yolk proteins, designated as vitellins (Vns) Macr-VnA, B, C, and D, were extracted from mature ovaries of Macrobrachium rosenbergii. These were purified to homogeneity by reversed-phase high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) employing a unique separation system based on the hydrophobic properties of the Vn molecule. Using standard techniques of protein sequencing, more than 33 N-terminal and 57 internal amino acid residues were determined for each of the four Vns. The cDNA fragments encoding the four Vns were amplified by PCR using degenerate oligonucleotide primers derived from the N-terminal and internal amino acid sequences. These cDNA fragments were cloned, sequenced, and used as probes to examine the transcription of mRNAs encoding the four Vns. Significant accumulations of these mRNAs were observed in female hepatopancreas only, while mRNA expression was not detected in male hepatopancreas or any other female tissue including ovary, subepidermal adipose tissue, gill, and muscle. This is the first occasion in Crustacea in which multiple Vns were demonstrated to be synthesized simultaneously in a single tissue.

Abstract
The high-density lipoproteins LPI and LPII were isolated from the hemolymph of the crayfish Cherax quadricarinatus by gradient ultracentrifugation and high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). Both lipoproteins contained a carotenoid moiety. LPI is comprised of a single polypeptide with an approximate molecular mass of 96 kDa. LPII was composed of two similar native components, LPIIa and LPIIb, both having polypeptides of 80 and 177 kDa. Both under natural conditions and after endocrine manipulations, LPI was present in males and in females, regardless of the female reproductive stage. LPII was present only in secondary-vitellogenic females, but not during the winter reproductive arrest period. LPII was also absent from young females that had received androgenic gland implants. LPII also appeared in the hemolymph of intersex individuals from which the androgenic gland had been removed. It is therefore suggested that LPII serves as a marker indicating the onset of secondary vitellogenesis in C. quad'iariicarintus females.

Abstract
The objective of the present study was to investigate the source of vitellogenin in the freshwater prawn, Macrobrachium rosenbergii. Ovarian development of M. rosenbergii was classified into five stages (stage I-V). Vitellin/vitellogenin was detected in the ovary and the hepatopancreas in different stages by native-PAGE and Western blotting. Two and three subunits of vitellin were observed in the ovary at the early- (I-II), mid- and late- (III-V) stages, respectively. The subunit of vitellogenin was not detected in the hepatopancreas at different stages of prawns. Hepatopancreas had positive immunocytological staining (against vitellin antibody) in different ovarian stages of prawn. Only vitellogenic oocyte but not previtellogenic oocytes and follicle cells had a positive immunocytological staining. Hepatopancreas could synthesize radiolabeled immunoreactive proteins after incubation with radiolabeled glycine on the basis of immunoprecipitation (against vitellin antiserum). Therefore, it is concluded that hepatopancreas is the most likely organ to synthesize vitellogenin in the freshwater prawn, M. rosenbergii.

Abstract
1. Prestaining the serum total lipoprotein (LP) fraction and density-gradient ultracentrifugation revealed up to five LPs, all in the high-density class (HDL; 1.187 greater than d greater than 1.080 g/ml). These are group-designated as HDL1, HDL2 and HDL3, lowest to highest buoyant density, respectively. The number and precise density of the LPs varied with individual crab and were not gender specific. 2. The percentage of total mass due to triacylglycerides was progressively higher from HDL1 and HDL3, whereas that of phospholipids, cholesterol and combined fat was progressively lower. The percentage mass of combined fat was higher in females than males. 3. As in hemolymph, the LP of eggs was entirely HDL; instances of each HDL subclass were seen, but HDL3 was predominant. Compared with serum HDL, egg HDL was strikingly low in triacyglyceride mass and relatively high in protein. 4. Hemolymph HDL titers of individual females varied independently with egg size through most of the year, but was positively correlated with the egg size in October to December when 2-3-fold increases in HDL titer occur in the female population.

Abstract
Vitellogenin synthesis in Armadillidium vulgare was investigated in tissue cultures. The synthesis of vitellogenin was assayed by the incorporation of [35S]methionine into precipitin with anti-vitellin serum. The forms of synthesized vitellogenin were analyzed by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and fluorography. The fat body synthesized vitellogenin and its rate was correlated with the molting cycle: a maximum level at stage D and lower levels at A-C and E of the molting cycle. Four forms of vitellogenin (Vg 1-4) were synthesized; the larger forms (Vg 1-2) were prominent. The ovary also synthesized a slight amount of vitellogenin at the end of the molting cycle. The smaller forms (Vg 3-4) were synthesized under cultured condition. Through vitellogenesis in A. vulgare, the fat body must be the principal site of vitellogenin synthesis. Most vitellogenin may be transported from the fat body to the ovary through hemolymph at stage D of the molting cycle.

Abstract
Quantitative and qualitative variations of free-amino-acids contents (FAA) of ovaries, hepatopancreas and haemolymph have been studied in the course of ovarian maturation in Penaeus schmitti. In the ovary, FAA content, expressed as microM/g ovary fresh weight, decreases from 56.2 to 23.6 microM between gonadosomatic index (GSI) 0.8 and GSI 7.1. There is an increase of hepatopancreas FAA content of 33.4% till GSI 4. Haemolymph FAA content increases from 0.32 to 1.76 microM/ml, with maximal values of 3.74 microM/ml when GSI are between 3 and 4. FAA content of ovaries, expressed as microM/g of animal, is 3.2 fold higher at the end of maturation, with a main increase in the first stages of ovogenesis. Maturation process has a quantitative effect on all FAA, but, on a qualitative point of view, it concerns mainly lysine, arginine and glycine. The main variations of AA composition (expressed as percentage of total FAA) are observed in haemolymph.

Abstract
Vitellin was identified and purified from submature oocytes of Perinereis cultrifera by concanavalin-A - Sepharose and Ultrogel AcA 34 column chromatography. The yolk protein was defined as a glycolipoprotein with a relative molecular mass of 380000. Upon dissociation by sodium dodecyl sulphate, vitellin was shown to release five polypeptide subunits which ranged in relative molecular mass from 98000-16000. The purified vitellin was further characterized by amino acid analysis and its lipid and carbohydrate contents. The molecule contained about 5% carbohydrate and 16% lipid. Antiserum prepared against vitellin was shown to react with a component from the coelomic fluid of maturing females. Thus, it was suggested that in nereid annelids, considered phylogenetically and morphologically primitive, oocyte differentiation might depend upon the incorporation of a vitellogenin as in insects and many oviparous vertebrates.

Abstract
The formation of proteinaceous yolk is a main feature during amphibian oogenesis. The main bulk is built up by a process called heterosynthesis. The precursor complex vitellogenin is synthesized in the liver, transported by the bloodstream to the ovary, where the oocytes sequester the material by means of endocytosis. This pathway has been described in detail by many authors. The ultrastructural study of amphibian oocytes indicates on the other hand a small but distinct contribution of the oocyte itself towards yolk formation. This process has been called autosynthesis and starts before the onset of heterosynthetic activities. The cell organelles possibly involved in yolk-recursor and yolk-platelet formation are the nuclear envelope, annulate lamellae, endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi complex, GERL and mitochondria. The aim of this paper is to discuss the data, mainly of ultrastructural nature, so far accumulated during the study of autosynthesis. It is hoped to stimulate more biochemically orientated research in this field.

Abstract
The study of the ovarian cycle of Palaemon adspersus shows the occurrence of two lipo-glycoproteins accumulated into the ovocytes during vitellogenesis. The molecular weight of the main protein constituent in vitellus is evaluated to about 350 000 daltons. This protein is formed by two subunits having a similar molecular weight. The incorporation in vitro of [14C] leucine shows the participation of the ovary to lipovitellin synthesis.
