Differential effects of 17β-estradiol and 11-ketotestosterone on the endocrine stress response in zebrafish (Danio rerio)
Abstract
Sexually dimorphic stress responses are present in species across all vertebrate taxa and it has been suggested that these effects are mediated by circulating sex steroids. While a few species of fish have been identified as having a sexually dimorphic stress response, there is conflicting evidence as to the effects of sex steroids on the stress axis. In this study, we tested whether zebrafish exhibit a sexually dimorphic cortisol stress …
