Key Findings
- The study was conducted by researchers at Jeju National University on female olive flounder
- Exemestane treatment led to intersex characteristics in olive flounder, showing both male and female reproductive tissues
- Tamoxifen treatment did not result in intersex characteristics, indicating different effects on sex differentiation compared to exemestane
