The biosynthesis of steroid glucuronides in the testis of the zebrafish, Brachydanio rerio, and their pheromonal function as ovulation inducers

In female zebrafish ovulation could be induced by male holding water, testis homogenates, and testis fractions containing steroid glucuronides. Deglucuronidation of these fractions led to a loss of ovulation-inducing potency, indicating steroid glucuronides as ovulation inducers. The chemical substa...
