Steroidogenesis and phase II conjugation during the gametogenesis of thicklip grey mullet ( Chelon labrosus ) from a population showing intersex condition
Highlights • Steroidogenesis was assessed in Chelon labrosus at different gametogenic stages. • A comparative study between female, male and intersex mullets was carried-out. • Intersex mullets showed female-like estrogen metabolism. • A multivariate assessment discriminated female, male and interse...

Zusammenfassung: | Highlights • Steroidogenesis was assessed in Chelon labrosus at different gametogenic stages. • A comparative study between female, male and intersex mullets was carried-out. • Intersex mullets showed female-like estrogen metabolism. • A multivariate assessment discriminated female, male and intersex mullets. • Intersex condition can be partially explained by changes on the steroidogenic pathway. |
