Abstract:
In farm animals as in human, reproduction is affected by changes in the level of energetic balance. The main factors that link metabolism and reproduction, like insulin, IGFs, glucose, FFA, leptin and NPY, act on hypothalamo-pituitary axis as well as on gonads by directly altering gametogenesis.
