Changes in Sex Steroids and Ovarian Steroidogenic Enzyme mRNA Levels in Artificially Maturing Japanese Eel (<i>Anguilla japonica</i>) and Naturally Maturing New Zealand Longfin Eel (<i>Anguilla dieffenbachii</i>) during Vitellogenesis

Changes in Sex Steroids and Ovarian Steroidogenic Enzyme mRNA Levels in Artificially Maturing Japanese Eel (<i>Anguilla japonica</i>) and Naturally Maturing New Zealand Longfin Eel (<i>Anguilla dieffenbachii</i>) during Vitellogenesis

Repeated hormone injections are routinely used to induce advanced stages of oogenesis in freshwater eels, but this approach may result in aberrant germ cell development. To investigate the underlying causes, levels of sex steroids (testosterone, T; estradiol-17&#946;, E2) and ovarian steroidogen...
