Actions of sex steroids on kisspeptin expression and other reproduction-related genes in the brain of the teleost fish european sea bass
1 Jan 2016
Abstract excerpt
Kisspeptins are well known as mediators of the coordinated communication between the brain-pituitary axis and the gonads in many vertebrates. To test the hypothesis that gonadal steroids regulate kiss1 and kiss2 mRNA expression in European sea bass (a teleost fish), we examined the brains of gonad-intact (Control) and castrated animals, as well as castrated males (GDX) and females (OVX) that received testosterone...
