A 60-day feeding trial was conducted to determine the impact of dietary phytoestrogen, genistein on inducing
vitellogenesis in reproductively active male Cyprinus carpio. Adult male C. carpio were fed with graded levels of
genistein, 0 (Control), 1 (Gen-1), 3 (Gen-3), 6 (Gen-6) and 9 (Gen-9) mg/100 g in fish feed. Serum levels of
cholesterol, total testosterone and estradiol (E2) showed an increasing trend with increasing doses of genistein in
the feed after the trial. Serum T3 level was reduced while the T4 level was induced with an increasing level of
dietary genistein. Gene expression of brain and testicular aromatases were significantly reduced in Gen-9. The
expression of estrogen receptor-α (erα) was upregulated, and that of erβ2 was downregulated with an increasing
dose of genistein. Vitellogenin concentration was increased to its highest, 29.70 ± 2.63 μg/mL in Gen-6 and vtgb2
expression in the liver was increased to five-fold in Gen-6 & Gen-9 than that of control. The level of cortisol and
the expression pattern of 20βHSD were reduced with an increasing dose of genistein. Hence, the study concluded
that upregulation of the erα gene and high E2 concentration is responsible for genistein induced vitellogenesis in adult male C. carpio. The estrogenic responses in adult male C. carpio are accompanied by enhanced testosterone level and reduced activity of the steroidogenic enzyme, 20βHSD, indicating a possible delay in maturation.
