Localization of FMRFamide-like immunoreactivity in the brain of the viviparous skink (Chalcides chalcides).
Biagio D'Aniello,Maria Fiorentin,Claudia Pinelli,Fabio Maria Guarino,Francesco Angelini,Rakesh K. Rastogi +5 more
TL;DR: The distribution profile of FMRFamide immunoreactivity in the brain and olfactory system of the viviparous skink was substantially similar to that of the adults, with a less widespread neuronal distribution and a more developed fiber network.

17β-estradiol induces spermatogonial proliferation through mitogen-activated protein kinase (extracellular signal-regulated kinase 1/2) activity in the lizard (Podarcis s. sicula)
TL;DR: Results demonstrate that E2 treatment induces spermatogonial proliferation, possibly via the activation of ERK1/2, and this effect is counteracted by the antiestrogen ICI 182‐780.

Apoptosis during spermatogenesis in the spotted ray Torpedo marmorata.
Marina Prisco,Annamaria Liguoro,Raffaella Comitato,Anna Cardone,Barbara D'Onghia,Loredana Ricchiari,Francesco Angelini,Piero Andreuccetti +7 more
TL;DR: This observation in one of the oldest vertebrate classes indicates that, in all vertebrates, the apoptotic process during spermatogenesis is conserved, contributing to testicular homeostasis.
59
Autoregulation of estrogen and androgen receptor mRNAs and downregulation of androgen receptor mRNA by estrogen in primary cultures of lizard testis cells.
TL;DR: The results suggest that both estrogen and androgen may autoregulate the expression of their own receptor mRNAs, which may be key in regulating certain phases of reproduction.

Sex steroids levels in the plasma and testis during the reproductive cycle of lizard Podarcis s. sicula Raf.
S. Andò,Gaetano Ciarcia,M. L. Panno,E. Imbrogno,G. Tarantino,M. Buffone,E Beraldi,Francesco Angelini,Virgilio Botte +8 more
TL;DR: There is an apparent separation of plasma and testicular androgen concentrations during the reproductive cycle in oviparous lizard Podarcis s.
