title = "Expression of gonadotropin α, follicle-stimulating hormone β, and luteinizing hormone β genes of the hermaphroditic fish kryptolebias marmoratus exposed to octylphenol, 17β estradiol, and tamoxifen",
abstract = "In order to study the expression of the gonadotropin α subunit and β subunit [follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH)-β and luteinizing hormone (LH)-β] cDNAs in the hermaphroditic fish Kryptolebias marmoratus, we cloned these genes and analyzed their modulatory effects in the brain/pituitary tissue after exposure to 17β estradiol (E2), tamoxifen (TMX), and octyphenol. Gonadotropin β subunit (FSH-β and LH-β) showed E2-dependent upregulation in most hermaphrodites, whereas TMX did not show elevated expression. Octyphenol also showed a similar effect of upregulation on FSH-β expression but not for the LH-β gene. These results suggest that the expression of FSH-β and LH-β in K. marmoratus is associated with their expression on endocrine-disrupting chemicals in this species.",
