The role of 'mineralocorticoids' in teleost fish: relative importance of glucocorticoid signaling in the osmoregulation and 'central'actions of mineralocorticoid receptor

H Takahashi, T Sakamoto - General and comparative endocrinology, 2013 - Elsevier
It has long been held that cortisol, a glucocorticoid in many vertebrates, performs
glucocorticoid and mineralocorticoid actions in the teleost fish since it lacks aldosterone …
