Aromatase activity in brain and pituitary of immature and mature atlantic salmon (Salmo salar L.) parr
Brain homogenates from Atlantic salmon parr converted tritiated androstenedione to testosterone, estrone, and 17β-estradiol. The formation of estrogens was markedly higher in homogenates of whole brains from mature parr males than from immature parr males. The highest estrogen synthesis was found in...

Brain homogenates from Atlantic salmon parr converted tritiated androstenedione to testosterone, estrone, and 17β-estradiol.
