Abstract

Prostaglandin plays an important role in ovulation, luteal function, implantation and maintenance of gestation. It is a class of fatty acids which are traditionally associated with variety of autocrine and paracrine functions in vertebrate body. Ovary has a definite role in the reproductive physiology. Prostaglandin was injected 1.5ml/kg body weight at every alternate days for one week intramuscularly in the fish, Cyprinus carpio. It has been observed that due to prostaglandin, oogenesis stimulated in the ovary which was mediated through the gonadotrophic hormone. Thus, it had been concluded that prostaglandin is an inducer of spawning reflexes in the fish, Cyprinus carpio that induces gonadal maturity and used to achive early breeding.

Keywords:Autocrine, paracrine, prostaglandin, reproductive physiology, spawning reflexes.
