Resumo(s)
The thyroid hormones thyroxine (T4) and triiodothyronine (T3) are crucial to many
aspects of vertebrate growth, development, and metabolism. They act through intracellular
receptor proteins which act directly on target genes. Although the role of
thyroid hormones in fish, especially in early development, is not well understood,
thyroid hormones are passed to eggs by broodfish during spawning and are implicated
in fish development.1,2 Sea bream (Sparus aurata) aquaculture has grown rapidly
in importance in the European Community, particularly in southern Portugal. However,
its further development is hindered by the high larval mortality rate and incidence
of malformations. This work investigates the significance of thyroid
hormones in sea bream development by cloning the thyroid hormone receptor (TR)
and analyzing its expression during larval development.
