...Luigi Rosati; Marisa Agnese; Maria Maddalena Di Fiore; Piero Andreuccetti; Marina Prisco ABSTRACT P450 aromatase is a key enzyme in steroidogenesis involved in the conversion of testosterone into 17β-estradiol. We investigated the localization and the expression of P450 aromatase in Podarcis sicula...
