Glucocorticoids (GCs) are steroid hormones that contribute to the regulation of many
physiological processes, such as inflammation, metabolism and stress response, mainly …

In this article we aim to provide an overview of the zebrafish interrenal development and
function, as well as a review of its contribution to basic and translational research. A search …

Exposure of testes to high-temperature environment results in defective spermatogenesis.
Zebrafish exposed to high temperature exhibited apoptosis not only in germ cells but also in …

Most steroidogenesis disorders are caused by mutations in genes encoding the
steroidogenic enzymes, but work in the past 20 years has identified related disorders …

Cortisol is the major endocrine factor mediating the inhibitory effects of stress on vertebrate
reproduction. It is well known that cortisol affects reproduction by interacting with the …

The roles of androgens in male reproductive development and function in zebrafish are
poorly understood. To investigate this topic, we employed CRISPR/Cas9 to generate …

Pituitary hormones can use local signaling molecules to regulate target tissue functions. In
adult zebrafish testes, follicle-stimulating hormone (Fsh) strongly increases the production of …

Benzotriazole ultraviolet stabilizers (BUVSs) are emerging contaminants of concern. They
are added to a variety of products, including building materials, personal care products …

Thyroid hormones (THs) regulate many biological processes in vertebrates, including
reproduction. Testicular somatic and germ cells are equipped with the arrays of enzymes …

Exposure to excess glucocorticoid (GC) during early development is implicated in adult
dysfunctions. Reduced adult hippocampal neurogenesis is a well-known consequence of …
