简介：Eight papers, presented by Melamed (biological sciences, National U. of Singapore) and Sherwood (biology, U. of Victoria, Canada), investigate the molecular mechanism through which hormones regulate reproductive activity and function in fish. Topics include the evolution, expression, and regulation of the gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) gene, differences in structure-function relations between mammalian and non-mammalian GnRH receptors, molecular regulation of gonadotropin gene expression in teleosts, pleiotropic effects of prolactin in teleosts, activin and its receptors in fish reproduction, gonadal steroidogenesis in teleosts, comparative aspects of regulation and function of estrogen receptors, and vitellogenesis and vitellogenin uptake into oocytes.
