Ovarian aromatase and estrogens: a pivotal role for gonadal sex differentiation and sex change in fish.
The present review focuses on the roles of estrogens and aromatase (Cyp19a1a), the enzyme needed for their synthesis, in fish gonadal sex differentiation. Based on the recent literature, we extend… Expand
