Vitellogenesis(also known as yolk deposition)is the process of yolk formation via nutrients being deposited in the oocyte, or female germ cell involved in reproduction. It starts when the fat body stimulates the release of juvenile hormones and produces vitellogenin protein. It occurs in all animal groups lower than the mammals. In cockroaches, for example, vitellogenesis can be stimulated by injection of juvenile hormone into immature females and mature males. Vitellogenin (Vg) is the main precursor to egg yolk proteins (YPs) accumulated as nutrients for developing embryos of oviparous aquatic species. Recent gene cloning and immuno-biochemical analyses verified the presence of multiple Vgs in teleost fishes, similar to the case in chickens and Xenopus. These findings lead us to abandon the classical "single Vg model" and explore different functions of individual Vgs and their YP derivatives during teleost oocyte maturation and embryogenesis. The course of proteolysis of Vgs and their YP products appears to differ among species. Detailed characterization of the relevant proteolytic enzymes has been partly accomplished only for salmonid fishes. Investigations of the endocrine regulation of teleost Vg and YP proteolysis have only just begun. Over the past decade, much attention has been paid to Vg due to its promise as a biomarker of contaminants that mimic estrogen, which are present in the aquatic environment. Sensitive and specific assays for measuring Vg in male and juvenile fish have been and will be valuable tools for identifying environmental estrogens to which humans and wildlife are potentially exposed.

8C13CrMoV--A Chinese steel--It might be OK but as far as I am concerned it's not quality stuff.Gotta love well reasoned scientific analysis. I really wish I could afford to run this experiment. Start by having a dozen "sets" of eight knives each made. Each set would contain eight otherwise identical fixed blade knives in: 8Cr13MoV (at the hardness used in the Tenacious) VG-10 (at the hardness used in the Caly 3) ZDP-189 (at the hardness used in the Stretch II) CPM S30V (at the hardness used in the Native) 420HC (at the hardness used in the Buck 110) AUS-8 (at the hardness used in Boker Plus Trance) N690Co (at the hardness used in the Volpe)
V Gold 10 generally known as VG-10 or sometimes V-Kin-10 (kin stands for "gold" in japanese) is a quality cutlery grade stainless steel produced in Japan ("Gold" denotes high quality). VG-10 was designed by Takefu Special Steel co.,Ltd, base in Takefu, Fukui Prefecture, Japan (former cutlery/sword-making center of Echizen) VG-10 was initially aimed mostly at stainless Japanese chef knives production but it did quickly find important development in sport cutlery. It was made worldwide popular to the pocket knife world by famous brand Spyderco which produced some of its most famous models (Delica, Endura, Police...) from VG-10 steel in Japan. Due to some reason (possibly steel export restrictions) almost all VG-10 steel knives are manufactured in Japan. VG-10 is a unique formulation of steel with a high carbon content, and containing various amounts of one or more of the following: Chromium, Vanadium, Molybdenum and Cobalt. The steel is specially designed for high-quality blades used in kitchen cutlery, such as chef's knives, vegetable knives, cleavers, paring knives, carving knives and the like. VG-10 is often called "super steel," because it is designed to maintain sharpness and durability without becoming brittle, a major fault normally associated with exceptionally hard steel. This quality is ideal when extreme sharpness is desired, as most other steel will not take or keep an edge like VG-10. When this type of steel is used in a knife, it is normally encased in layers of steel providing greater corrosion-resistance, leaving only the "super steel" exposed at the edge for fine cutting.
