Photoperiod-induced central actions of thyroid hormone are essential for medullary bone formation

Butterfield Natalie , Miszkiewicz Justyna , Logan John , Leitch Victoria , Yoshimura Takashi , Bassett Duncan , Williams Graham

Seasonal reproduction enables animals outside tropical regions to rear offspring in a favourable environment. Increasing day length triggers a hypothalamic relay involving thyrotropin, the type 2 deiodinase enzyme and thyroid hormone, which activates the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal axis to induce reproductive competence. Photoperiod regulates calcium metabolism and the egg-laying cycle in the Japanese quail (Coturnix japonica), and we hypothesised that activity of ...
