1. Esteróides gonadais e metabolismo lipídico ao longo do ciclo reprodutivo de Arapaima gigas (SCHINZ, 1822) em ambiente natural / Gonad steroids and lipid metabolism along the reproductive cycle of Arapaima gigas (SCHINZ, 1822) in natural environmet
The aim of the present study was to investigate the possible physiological alterations related with reproduction in males and females of Arapaima gigas (pirarucu) in their natural environment. Pirarucu is an obligatory aerial respiration species belonging to a very ancient group of teleosts and inhabits Amazonian river. The main goals of this study were to d

2. Morpho-functional characteristics of sex reversal in Synbranchidae (Teleostei: Synbranchiformes) / Perfil morfo-funcional da inversão de sexo em Synbranchidae (Teleostei: Synbranchiformes)
Teleost fishes exhibit several sexual patterns during their ontogeny, in which the gonads change into functional ovaries or testes. In distinct Orders, both gonochoristic and hermaphrodite species, simultaneous as well as sequential or consecutive, can be found. In sequential hermaphroditism (protandrous or protogynous), sex change in adult individuais invol

3. The Mammalian Ovary from Genesis to Revelation
Two major functions of the mammalian ovary are the production of germ cells (oocytes), which allow continuation of the species, and the generation of bioactive molecules, primarily steroids (mainly estrogens and progestins) and peptide growth factors, which are critical for ovarian function, regulation of the hypothalamic-pituitary-ovarian axis, and developm
