In photoperiodic species, remodelling of pituitary microvasculature appears to play a key role in the regulation of the annual reproductive cycle. Recent studies have revealed seasonal changes in the vascular loops of the ovine pituitary stalk. Microvasculature remodelling is under the control of pro-angiogenic (VEGF165a) and anti-angiogenic (VEGF165b) isoforms of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF). Here, we examined the differential expression of ...
