2002, AquacultureCitation Excerpt :Similarly, although no effect of LHRH treatment on steroid hormone levels was observed in S. aurata, treatments did result in a reduced percentage of testicular tissue in the gonad (Vilia and Canario, 1995), suggesting that gonadotropins are involved in sex transformation in this protandrous species. In vitro treatment of S. aurata gonadal tissues with human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) strongly suppressed radioactive androstenedione to testosterone conversion in testis but not in ovary (Eckstein et al., 1978), indicating a possible mechanism by which sex reversal may be mediated. Gonadotropins and their releasing hormones seem to be differentially regulated between the sexes in S. aurata (Elizur et al., 1995), and higher numbers of GnRH-producing cells are observed in the preoptic area of the brain in males than females in A. melanopus (Elofsson et al., 1997).
