Characterization of four nr5a genes and gene expression profiling for testicular steroidogenesis-related genes and their regulatory factors in response to bisphenol A in rare minnow Gobiocypris rarus.

Highlights: [•] The full-length cDNA of four nr5as were isolated and characterized from G. rarus. [•] 17 Steroidogenesis-related genes expression was studied after BPA exposure. [•] Gene expression was dependent on BPA concentration and exposure duration. [•] BPA actions might involve Esr/Fshr pathway and transcription factors. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
