Summary. Development of the corpus luteum (CL) is vital for the early increase in postovulatory progesterone that drives embryo development and the successful establishment of pregnancy. Following ovulation, rapid and dramatic cellular reorganisation and intense angiogenesis are required to support the timely transition to progesterone secretion. In addition to inherent physiological challenges, this process is sensitive to any imbalance in metabolism or healt...

The autocrine and paracrine role of the insulin-like growth factors (IGFs) and epiderrnal growth factor (EGF)-related peptides in pig ovary are reviewed. For convenience, each of these regulatory systems is divided into several interactive components: regulated expression of the growth factors, growth factor reception at the cell surface and intracellular action of the growth factors. In addition, the concept of regulated bioavailability and targeting of growth factors in...

Almost 40 years ago, in 1981, the University of Nottingham Faculty of Agricultural Science hosted their 34th Easter School, which in that year was on the topic of control of pig reproduction. The proceedings of that meeting were published as Control of Pig Reproduction by Butterworths, London in 1982. The success of the conference, coupled with the favourable reviews of the published proceedings, highlighted the value of an international conference which brought together exper...
