17beta-estradiol induced vitellogenesis is inhibited by cortisol at the post-transcriptional level in Arctic char ( Salvelinus alpinus )
Abstract This study was performed to investigate stress effects on the synthesis of egg yolk precursor, vitellogenin (Vtg) in Arctic char ( Salvelinus alpinus ). In particular the effect of cortisol (F) was determined since this stress hormone has been suggested to interfere with vitellogenesis and...
