Zebrafish cyp17a1 knockout reveals that androgen-mediated signaling is important for male brain sex differentiation
10 Apr 2020
Abstract excerpt
Brain sex differentiation is a complex process, wherein genes and steroid hormones act to induce specific gender brain differentiation. Testosterone (T) derived from the gonads has been linked to neural circuit modeling in a sex-specific manner. Previously, we have shown that cyp17a1 knockout (KO) zebrafish have low plasma androgen levels, and display compromised male-typical mating behaviors. In this study, we...
