## Abstract Cytochrome P450 aromatase (CYP19) is the terminal enzyme in the steroidogenic pathway that converts androgens (e.g., testosterone) into estrogens (e.g., estradiol). Regulation of this gene dictates the ratio of androgens to estrogens; therefore, appropriate expression of this enzyme is
A spontaneous high expression of heat shock protein 70 (HSP 70) was found to arise in zebrafish (Danio rerio) at the larval stage (84 hr after fertilization). The level of HSP 70 in 84-hr-old larvae was estimated to be six- to eightfold that of 12-hr-old embryos. As heat-induced HSP 70 synthesis in
Opioid receptors, besides mediating the effects of analgesic compounds, are involved in drug addiction. Although a large amount of work has been done studying these receptors in mammals, little information has been obtained from nonmammalian vertebrates. We have studied the regional distribution in
