Atheriniform fishes have recently emerged as attractive models for evolutionary, ecological, and molecular/physiological studies on sex determination. Many species in this group have marked temperature-dependent sex ...

Sex-determining genes have been successively isolated in several teleosts. In Odontesthes hatcheri and O. bonariensis, the amhy gene has been identified as a master sex-determining gene. However, whether this gene is ...

The master sex-determining genes identified so far in fishes are clearly not conserved, as evidenced by several unrelated genes reported to play critical roles in sex determination. In this study, we reviewed the molecular ...

The sex of the offspring is the result of a unique process leading, in a binary fate, to the development of male or female characteristics. In this context, the aim of the present work is to present atherinopsid fish as ...

The present study aimed to assess the importance of offspring genotype on postnatal development, independently of confounding factors related to prenatal environment and postnatal lifestyle, using a translational model of ...

Gynogenesis is a chromosome manipulation technique applicable on the production of all-female populations, generation of inbred or clonal lines and identification of genetic sex determination mechanisms in fish. Therefore, ...

DNA damage caused by mutagens found in tobacco smoke may contribute to the development of coronary heart disease (CHD). Microsomal epoxide hydrolase (EPHX1) is involved in the metabolism of tobacco smoke mutagens and an ...

The organizational action of testosterone during critical periods of development is the cause of numer o ussex differences in the brain. However, sex differences in neuritogenesis have been detectedin primary neuronal ...
