Metamorphosis, classically defined as a spectacular post-embryonic transition, is well
exemplified by the transformation of a tadpole into a frog. It implies the appearance of new …

Teleosts are the largest and most diverse group of vertebrates, and many species undergo
morphological, physiological, and behavioral transitions,“metamorphoses,” as they progress …

Polybrominated diphenyl ether (PBDE) flame retardants have been shown to disrupt thyroid
hormone regulation, neurodevelopment, and reproduction in some animals. However …

Bisphenol AF (BPAF) is extensively used as a raw material in industry, resulting in its
widespread distribution in the aqueous environment. However, the effect of BPAF on the …

In fish as in other vertebrates, the diverse functions of thyroid hormones are mediated at the
peripheral tissue level through iodothyronine deiodinase (dio) enzymes and thyroid …

The most asymmetrically shaped and behaviorally lateralized of all the vertebrates, the
flatfishes are an endless source of fascination to all fortunate enough to study them …

The larval phase is a crucial period in the life of marine fish. During this phase, the organism
will acquire the phenotype of an adult fish through the development of tissues and organs …

Thyroid autoimmune reactions start with an accumulation of mainly dendritic cells in the
thyroid. There is increasing evidence that, apart from being antigen-presenting cells, they …

Abstract Background The common sole (Solea solea) is a promising candidate for European
aquaculture; however, the limited knowledge of the physiological mechanisms underlying …

In the present work, five genes encoding different Na+, K+ ATPase (NKA) α-isoforms in the
teleost Solea senegalensis are described for the first time. Sequence analysis of predicted …
