Abstract excerpt
In vertebrates, reproduction is primarily controlled by two master hormones, or gonadotropins, from the pituitary: follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) and luteinizing hormone (LH), which act through their cognate receptors, FSHR and LHCGR, in gonads. Like other vertebrates, zebrafish also has two gonadotropins and respective receptors. However, while zebrafish FSH activates Fshr specifically, its LH can activate...
