Ontogenyc transformations of ovaries in prenatal period of numan development. by Marchuk V.F.

“…The prefetal period is distinguished by the process of delimitation of the sexual glands from the mesonephroi and that results in the formation of the mesentery and hilum of the gonads, by the dynamic character of the topographo-anatomical relationships of the sex glands with the adjacent organs and structures, as well as close correla-tions with the development of the gastrointestinal tract, liver, pancreas, adrenal glands and mesonephroi. The ovaries of 4-6 month old fetuses are to be found in the abdominal cavity in a vertical position, as a rule. …”

Adrenocorticotropic hormone suppresses gonadotropin-stimulated estradiol release from zebrafish ovarian follicles. by Derek Alsop, Jennifer S Ings, Mathilakath M Vijayan

“…A vital component of the stress response is the pituitary secretion of adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH), which binds to the melanocortin 2 receptor (MC2R) in the adrenal glands and activates cortisol biosynthesis. We recently reported MC2R mRNA abundance in fish gonads leading to the hypothesis that ACTH may be directly involved in gonadal steroid modulation. …”
