The endocrine system relies on different endocrine axis to assure homeostasis and the control of reproduction, growth and metabolism. Several internal secretory glands function as different endocrine axis: the pituitary, the pineal gland, the thymus gland, the thyroid, four parathyroid glands, two adrenals, two gonads, the endocrine pancreas, the g...

Cadherins are a group of membrane proteins responsible for cell adhesion. They are crucial for cell sorting and recognition during the morphogenesis, but they also play many other roles such as assuring tissue integrity and resistance to stretching, mechanotransduction, cell signaling, regulation of cell proliferation, apoptosis, survival, carcinog...

Mercury (Hg) was measured in the muscle, liver, and gonads of Haemulopsis elongatus and Pomadasys macracanthus from Mazatlán (SE Gulf of California) to determine the relationships of the hepatosomatic index (HSI) and gonadosomatic index (GSI) of fish with Hg concentrations in the corresponding tissues. Health risk to consumers was assessed by using...

Simple Summary The effect of oral supplementation of Tamoxifen on productive and reproductive efficiencies and carcass characteristics of two broiler breeds was investigated in the current study. Tamoxifen supplementation can improve growth performance and carcass efficiency of broilers without changing the sex hormonal profile, however, treatment ...

Data in brief
RNA-Seq transcriptome data from twenty Siberian sturgeon gonads at different developmental stages is described: ten undifferentiated gonads, six gonads of immature males and four gonads from immature females. Siberian sturgeon, Acipenser baerii, is long-lived, late-maturing fish farmed in 50 countries but its production remains on a craftsman scale...

Disorders (or differences) of sex development (DSD) are a heterogeneous group of congenital conditions with variations in chromosomal, gonadal, or anatomical sex. Impaired gonadal development is central to the pathogenesis of the majority of DSDs and therefore a clear understanding of gonadal development is essential to comprehend the impacts of th...

For more than a half century the hormone melatonin has been associated with vertebrate reproduction, particularly in the context of seasonal breeding. This association is due in large measure to the fact that melatonin secretion from the pineal gland into the peripheral circulation is a nocturnal event whose duration is reflective of night length, ...

We evaluated the evidence in research on the effects of melatonin on hypothyroidism and gonadal development. According to the World Health Organization, thyroid disorders due to iodine deficiency affect about 740 million people worldwide. Hypothyroidism is a thyroid dysfunction characterized by hypometabolism of the gland, with reduced or physiolog...

Abstract The aim of this study was to evaluate the gonadosomatic index (GSI) and the weight/length ratio in important shrimp populations (Xiphopenaeus kroyeri (Heller, 1862), Litopenaeus schmitti (Burkenroad, 1936), Rimapenaeus constrictus (Stimpson, 1874)) from the northern littoral of São Paulo State. The samples were collected between 2015 and 2...
