Distinct sex differences in the production of steroids and neuropeptides in the adult zebrafish brain-pituitary gonadal axis

2025-06-27

Abstract excerpt

Zebrafish are increasingly used as experimental models in studies of human disease, environmental toxicology, and reproductive biology. However, sex differences in hormone production are rarely examined, despite evidence from gene mutation studies indicating differential effects in females and males. The emerging reproductive peptide secretoneurin (SN) has not been quantitatively compared between sexes in any spec...
