In all vertebrates, the thyroid axis is an endocrine feedback system that affects growth,
differentiation, and reproduction, by sensing and translating central and peripheral signals to …

Gonadal steroidogenesis is pivotal to synchronize various reproductive stages including
sexual development, growth and maturation. In all vertebrates including teleost …

Reproductive Biology of Teleost Fishes is the first integrated review of the reproductive
biology of the bony fishes, which are the most species-rich and diversified group of …

The environment which living organisms inhabit is not constant and many factors, such as
light, temperature, and food availability, display cyclic and predictable variations. To adapt to …

Most endocrine systems in the body are influenced by the hypothalamic-pituitary axis. Within
this axis, the hypothalamus delivers precise signals to the pituitary gland, which in turn …

Reproduction in many organisms can be disrupted by changes to the physical environment,
such as those predicted to occur during climate change. Marine organisms face the dual …

As antidepressant usage by the global population continues to increase, their persistent
detection in aquatic habitats from municipal wastewater effluent release has led to concerns …

Similar to other vertebrates, androgens regulate spermatogenesis in fishes. In teleosts, the
main androgen is 11-Ketotestosterone (11-KT), which is oxidized testosterone (T) at the C …

The 2 pituitary gonadotropins, follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) and luteinizing hormone
(LH), regulate the reproductive function in all vertebrates. While many studies have …

Progestins alter hormone homeostasis and may result in reproductive effects in humans and
animals. Thus far, studies in fish have focused on the hypothalamic–pituitary–gonadal …
