2003-01-01
Abstract excerpt
A neuroendocrine peptide can induce sex-reversal in pro-togynous labrid teleosts, similar to androgenic and antiestrogenic steroids. Culture water containing metabolites of 17a-methyltestosterone (MT), when recirculated, are more potent to induce sex-reversal than dietary supplemented MT; human estrogens present in sewage water, or other pollutants derail the normal course of sex differentiation. Steroid administr...
