Involvement of Estrogen and Its Receptors in Morphological Changes in the Eyes of the Japanese Eel, <i>Anguilla japonica</i>, in the Process of Artificially-Induced Maturation

Involvement of Estrogen and Its Receptors in Morphological Changes in the Eyes of the Japanese Eel, <i>Anguilla japonica</i>, in the Process of Artificially-Induced Maturation

During the long migration from river habitats to the spawning ground, the Japanese eel undergoes sexual maturation. This spawning migration occurs concurrently with morphological changes, such as increases in eye size; however, the mechanisms by which sex steroids and their receptors influence these...
