Sexual differentiation of gonads as a function of temperature in the turtleEmys orbicularis: Endocrine function, intersexuality and growth

1 Aug 1998

Abstract excerpt

Emys orbicularis is a freshwater turtle with temperature-dependent sex determination. Estrogens play a major role in gonadal differentiation; when they are produced at high levels during the thermosensitive period (TSP), ovaries differentiate; when their synthesis is very low, testes differentiate. Estrogens are synthesized from androgens through the activity of aromatase. We examine here two aspects of gonadal...
