The sex of a reptile [6] embryo partly results from the production of sex hormones [7] during development, and one such process to produce those hormones [8] depends on temperature of the embryo's environment. The production of sex hormones [7] can result solely from genetics or from genetics in combination with the influence of environmental factors. In genotypic sex determination [9], also ca...

Sex steroid hormones play important physiological roles in reproductive and nonreproductive tissues, including immune cells. These hormones exert their functions by binding to either specific intracellular receptors that act as ligand-dependent transcription factors or membrane receptors that stimulate several signal transduction pathways. The elevated susceptibility of males to bacterial infec...

This study is the first report that determines the effects of 17β-estradiol, estrone, progesterone and androsterone among the mammalian sex hormones on in vitro regeneration of Triticale mature embryos. A range of parameters which were 0 (control), 10-4, 10-8 and 10-12 m mol L−1 doses of 4 different mammalian sex hormones were investigated. It was clear that mature embryo interacted with the ma...
