Sexual dimorphism of brain aromatase activity in medaka: induction of a female phenotype by estradiol.

Environmental health perspectives - 1 Mar 2001

Melo A C, Ramsdell J S

Abstract excerpt

In this study we identified sex-dependent dimorphism of brain aromatase in the teleost medaka and examined its regulation by sex steriods. We first investigated differential distribution of brain aromatase activity in sexually mature male and female medaka in serial coronal sections of the brain and identified the hypothalamic nuclei contained in each section using the brain atlas of medaka. In the brain of male...
