The effects of progesterone on the fathead minnow testis

ABSTRACT: The objectives of the study were to determine the effects of progesterone in the male testis. Reproductive fathead minnows were used in the study. Testis at stage 2 and 3 were dissected and testis explants were treated progesterone or no progesterone (10^-6M and 10^-8M) for 12 hours. Androgens were measured and there was a significant increase in testosterone, but not 11-tetotetosterone. Gene expression analysis was performed in the testis which genes were differentially regulated by progesterone. testis explants were treated with 10^-6M progesterone for 12 hours; 6 control and 4 treatment samples
