Sex steroid regulation of brain glutamic acid decarboxylase (GAD) mRNA is season-dependent and sexually dimorphic in the goldfish Carassius auratus
Abstract
GABA, the major inhibitory neurotransmitter of the vertebrate brain, has been shown to play an important role in vertebrate reproduction by regulating LH release and sexual behavior. We have studied the expression of the GABA-synthesizing enzyme, glutamic acid decarboxylase (GAD), in goldfish throughout the reproductive cycle in May (mature), November (early gonadal recrudescence) and February (late gonadal recrudescence) and in response to …
