Background Gonadal fate in many reptiles, fish, and amphibians is modulated by the
temperature experienced during a critical period early in life (temperature-dependent sex …

Environmental anti-androgens are increasingly being recognized as potential contributing
factors in the chemically induced feminization of wild fish because, by blocking androgen …

Although the previous research confirmed that triclosan (TCS) affects the female proportion
at the early stage of zebrafish (Danio rerio) and has an estrogen effect, the mechanism by …

In fish, spermatogenesis and somatic growth are mainly regulated by hypothalamic-pituitary-
gonadal (HPG) and hypothalamic-pituitary-somatic (HPS) axes, respectively. Xenoestrogens …

Exposure to 17β-trenbolone caused a skewed sex ratio in fish. However, the molecular
initiating event and key molecular event (s) remain unknown. In this study, zebrafish were …

Sex steroids play a crucial role in gonadal sex differentiation in many nonmammalian
vertebrates, including hermaphroditic teleosts. The current study investigates the mRNA …

Sex reversal induced by 17β-estradiol (E2) has shown the potential possibility for
monoculture technology development. The present study aimed to determine whether …

Estrogens and androgens are typical steroid hormones and often occur together in
contaminated aquatic environments, but their mixed effects in aquatic organisms have been …

This study focuses on the comparative metabolic profiling and effects of two steroid types:
natural and synthetic, specifically 17α-methyl testosterone (17α-MT) at varying …

The understanding of the molecular and endocrine mechanisms behind environmentally-
induced sex reversal in fish is of great importance in the context of predicting the potential …
