Abstract
In the esophageal epithelium in euryhaline fish, cortisol induces either apoptosis or cell proliferation via the glucocorticoid receptor, depending on the cortisol concentration. The glucocorticoid signaling may play a more important role than mineralocorticoid signaling in differentiation of the osmoregulatory esophagus in euryhaline fishes.
