Distinct Roles of Estrogen Receptors in the Regulation of Vitellogenin Expression in Orange-Spotted Grouper (<i>Epinephelus coioides</i>)

Distinct Roles of Estrogen Receptors in the Regulation of Vitellogenin Expression in Orange-Spotted Grouper (<i>Epinephelus coioides</i>)

During their breeding season, estrogen induces vitellogenin (VTG) production in the liver of teleost fish through estrogen receptors (ERs) that support oocyte vitellogenesis. There are at least three ER subtypes in teleost fish, but their roles in mediating E<sub>2</sub>-induced VTG expr...
