The pituitary is a master endocrine gland that developed early in vertebrate evolution and
therefore exists in all modern vertebrate classes. The last decade has transformed our view …

In vertebrates, the anterior pituitary plays a crucial role in regulating several essential
physiological processes via the secretion of at least seven peptide hormones by different …

In seasonally breeding mammals and birds, the production of the hormones that regulate
reproduction (gonadotropins) is controlled by a complex pituitary-brain-pituitary pathway …

The two gonadotropins follicle-stimulating hormone (Fsh) and luteinizing hormone (Lh) are
of particular importance within the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal (HPG) axis of vertebrates …

Water pollution due to plasticizers is one of the most severe environmental problems
worldwide. Phthalate plasticizers can act as endocrine disruptors in vertebrates. In this …

The broad utilization of betamethasone in medical treatments may pose a significant
ecotoxicological risk to aquatic organisms, yet its potential reproductive toxicity remains …

The gonadotropins follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) and luteinizing hormone (LH) are key
regulators of the reproductive axis in vertebrates. Despite the high popularity of zebrafish as …

Environmental light is perceived and anticipated by organisms to synchronize their
biological cycles. Therefore, artificial light at night (ALAN) disrupts both diurnal and seasonal …

Plasticizer pollution of the water environment is one of the world's most serious
