Steroid hormones are involved in the regulation of a variety of processes like embryonic
development, sex differentiation, metabolism, immune responses, circadian rhythms, stress …

Steroid hormones modulate several important biological processes like metabolism, stress
response, and reproduction. Steroidogenesis drives reproductive function wherein …

Background Gonadal fate in many reptiles, fish, and amphibians is modulated by the
temperature experienced during a critical period early in life (temperature-dependent sex …

In many ectotherm species the gonadal fate is modulated by temperature early in life
[temperature-dependent sex determination (TSD)] but the transducer mechanism between …

This review deals with the gonadal masculinization induced by thermal stress in fish with
focus on the action of 11β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase (11β-HSD) as this mechanism key …

Previtellogenic ovarian fragments from eel, Anguilla australis, were cultured in vitro in a
chemically defined medium containing steroids and/or peptide hormones for 18 days in …

Abstract 11β-Hydroxysteroid dehydrogenases (11β-HSDs) are important steroidogenic
enzymes for catalyzing the interconversion of active glucocorticoid (cortisol and …

In contrast to mammals, teleost fish have a very labile genetic sex determination. Sex
differentiation is influenced by a combination of hormonal, social and environmental factors …

Sex steroids are involved in all aspects of the regulation of reproductive processes in
vertebrates. Teleost fish produce several types of bioactive gonadal steroids, including …

A real-time polymerase chain reaction-based gene expression survey was performed using
37 target genes and 22 female rainbow trout sampled during follicular maturational …
