Estrogen is a fundamental regulator of the metabolic system of the female brain and body.
Within the brain, estrogen regulates glucose transport, aerobic glycolysis, and mitochondrial …

Sex steroid hormones are synthesized from cholesterol and exert pleiotropic effects notably
in the central nervous system. Pioneering studies from Baulieu and colleagues have …

Estrogens, steroid hormones critically involved in reproductive processes of vertebrates,
signal primarily through their intracellular estrogen receptors (ERs). The ERs belong to a …

Endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs) are found in every environmental medium and are

Background Attempts to develop a mechanistic understanding of the effects of
environmental estrogens on fish are increasingly conducted at the level of gene expression …

There are two estrogen receptor (ER) subtypes in fish, Esr1 and Esr2 (formerly ERα and
ERβ), and in some species the Esr2 subtype has two forms, Esr2b (formerly ERβ1) and …

While sexual dimorphism in immune responses has been documented in other vertebrates,
evidence for a similar phenomenon in fish is lacking. Here, we review the relationship …

Phenylpyrazole insecticides are widely used as chiral pesticides. However, the
