Differential Metabolic and Transcriptional Responses of Gilthead Seabream (<i>Sparus aurata</i>) Administered with Cortisol or Cortisol-BSA

Cortisol is the main glucocorticoid hormone promoting compensatory metabolic responses of stress in teleosts. This hormone acts through genomic and membrane-initiated actions to exert its functions inside the cell. Experimental approaches, using exogenous cortisol administration, confirm the role of...
