The effect of seminal plasma β-NGF on follicular fluid hormone concentration and gene expression of steroidogenic enzymes in llama granulosa cells

Abstract Background Nerve growth factor (β-NGF) from llama seminal plasma has been described as a potent ovulatory and luteotrophic molecule after intramuscular or intrauterine infusion in llamas and alpacas.
