摘要: Abstract Aromatase is a steroidogenic enzyme involved in the conversion of testosterone into estradiol. Teleosts are unique among vertebrates possessing two distinct aromatase genes that show different expression patterns within body. Since brain essential organ underlying control behavior, an understanding pattern can help to identify neural circuits and behaviors most likely be affected by activity. In addition, identifying species differences further our divergence regulated local estradiol production estrogen signaling. Apteronotus leptorhynchus weakly electric fish which little known about sex steroid its role signaling behavior. The goal this study was mRNA A. leptorhynchus. detected several parts forebrain pituitary gland; however, no midbrain or hindbrain. These findings support for activity reproduction, but direct behavior non-breeding fish. broaden basis making phylogenetic comparisons across teleost lineages as well systems, provide information on potentially
