Sexual dimorphism in zebrafish gastrointestinal tract

In the present study, we utilized a label-free proteomics approach to identify and quantify proteins that are the basis of sexual dimorphism in the GI tract of zebrafish. The results of present study in combination with an extensive literature review can provide an in-depth insight into the molecular mechanisms that distinguish sexes in the digestion and absorption of nutritional materials needed for body maintenance and gametogenesis, as well as their abilities for drug metabolism.
