Research Abstract |
A yolk precursor vitellogenin (Vg) is selectively incorporated from the maternal blood into oocyte following its binding to ovarian Vg receptor. This study demonstrated that Vg obtained from heterologous species, as well as Vg coupled with voluntary lipids, can be delivered to fish eggs and offsprings by injecting them into broodstocks. This indicated a potential use of fish Vg as a transporter of bioactive materials; the system can be universal to any fish species. This study also confirmed that such system was found to be applicable for the delivery of bioactive lipids and/or hydrophobic materials to eggs and offsprings across generations.
