dc.description.abstractRabbit does are reflex ovulators such that coitus is needed to release GnRH and elicit the LH surge that triggers the ovulation of mature oocytes. However, the mechanisms eliciting ovulation in this species remain unclear. One of the most promising recently discovered candidates with a role in female reproductive physiology is nerve growth factor beta (b-NGF). This neurotrophin and its high-affinity receptor TrkA and low affinity receptor p75, is present in all compartments of the ovary, oviduct and uterus suggesting a physiologic role in ovarian folliculogenesis, steroidogenesis, ovulation, luteogenesis and embryo development. Besides, evidence exists that b-NGF found in seminal plasma could exert a modulatory role in the female hypothalamus-pituitary-ovarian axis contributing to the adrenergic and cholinergic neuronal stimulus of GnRH neurons in an endocrine manner during natural mating. Probably, the paracrine and local roles of the neurotrophin in steroidogenesis and ovulation reinforce the neuroendocrine pathway that leads to ovulation. This review updates knowledge of the role of b-NGF in rabbit reproduction, including its possible contribution to the mechanisms of action that induce ovulation, and discusses perspectives for the future applications of this neurotrophin on rabbit farms.
