Vitellogenin is the egg yolk precursor protein produced by oviparous vertebrates.
As endogenous estrogen increases during early reproductive activity, hepatic production of vitellogenin is induced and is assumed to be complete in female sea turtles before the first nesting event.
Until the present study, innate production of vitellogenin has not been described in free-ranging sea turtles.
Our study describes circulating concentrations of vitellogenin in loggerhead sea turtles (Caretta caretta) from the Northwest Atlantic Ocean.
We collected blood samples from juveniles and adults via in-water captures off the coast of the Southeast USA from May to August, and from nesting females in June and July at Hutchinson Island, Florida.
All samples were analyzed using an in-house ELISA developed specifically to measure Caretta caretta vitellogenin concentration.
As expected, plasma vitellogenin declined in nesting turtles as the nesting season progressed, although it still remained relatively elevated at the end of the season.
In addition, mean vitellogenin concentration in nesting turtles was 1,000 times greater than that measured in samples from in-water captures.
Our results suggest that vitellogenesis may continue throughout the nesting season, albeit at a decreasing rate.
Further, vitellogenin detected in turtles captured in-water may have resulted from exposure to endocrine disrupting chemicals.
