TL;DR: Successful structure–activity relationship modeling and prediction of gene activation for 26 of 29 alkylphenols is an additional step in the elucidation of chemical steric and electronic three‐dimensional parameters that predict which xenobiotics are likely to be estrogenic and demonstrates a valuable tool for screening and prioritization of chemicals for further testing.

TL;DR: LH is the primary steroidogenic hormone acting on the testicular cells in quail, FSH appearing to play no significant role in the acute release of androgen from the cellular component of the testis, and the results confirm the general specificity of the avian LH and FSH radioimmunoassays.

TL;DR: The high concentrations of DHT quantified in the testes suggested that these organs are a likely site of synthesis of D HT in the teleost fathead minnow, as they are in mammals.

TL;DR: A radioimmunoassay capable of determining blood ACTH levels in salmonid fishes was developed and validated and heparin as an anticoagulant during collection of samples caused problems when these plasmas were immunoassayed; instead EDTA was found to be a suitable anticoAGulant.
