Vitellogenin offsets oxidative costs of reproduction in female painted dragon lizards

Vitellogenesis ('yolking' of follicles) is a bioenergetically costly stage of reproduction requiring enlargement of the liver to produce vitellogenin (VTG) yolk precursor proteins, which are transported and deposited at the ovary. VTG may, however, serve non-nutritive anti-oxidant function...
