Functions of thyroid hormone signaling in regulating melanophore, iridophore, erythrophore, and pigment pattern formation in spotted scat (Scatophagus argus) by Yongguan Liao, Tong Han, Dongneng Jiang, Chunhua Zhu, Gang Shi, GuangLi Li, Hongjuan Shi

“…In this study, exogenous thyroid hormones 3,5,3′-L-triiodothyronine (T3) and its inhibitor thiourea (TU) were used to treat spotted scat juveniles during the metamorphosis stage (from 60 to 90 dpf). The function and molecular mechanism of thyroid hormone signaling in regulating body color patterns formation was revealed, using the micro-observation of pigments cells distribution, colorimetric evaluation and carotenoids concentration measurement by spectrophotometry, and comparative transcriptome analysis. …”
