Opioid peptides are known to play a role in the function and growth of the mammalian heart. Although some information about gene expression of opioids in the heart is available, there is no data on the cellular location of opioid gene expression during development or in the adult. Using in situ hybr
Songbirds have a complex neural network for learning and production of song, namely the neural song system. Several nuclei of the song system contain androgen receptors (AR), and the neostriatal nucleus HVc also contains alpha type estrogen receptors (ER). Many songbird species show seasonal changes
Compared with adult mammals, the brain of teleost fish is characterized by an extremely high capacity to aromatize androgens into estrogens, and this metabolic activity results from the expression of a specific brain aromatase (AroB) generated by the cyp19b gene. In this study, we first generated an
