Fish, like mammals, have to maintain their body fluid ionic and osmotic homeostasis through
sophisticated iono-/osmoregulation mechanisms, which are conducted mainly by ionocytes …

Stress of aquatic animals occurs due to physical and physiological disturbances in the
aquatic environment or system when transportation, crowding, handling or changes of …

The hypothalamus-pituitary-interrenal (HPI) and hypothalamus-sympathetic-chromaffin cell
(HSC) axes are involved in the regulation of the stress response in teleost. In this regard, the …

Maintenance of internal ionic and acid-base homeostasis is critical for survival in all
biological systems. Similar to mammals, aquatic fishes have developed sophisticated …

Tilapia (Oreochromis mossambicus, O. urolepis hornorum, their hybrids O. mossambicus♀×
O. hornorum♂ and O. hornorum♀× O. mossambicus♂) were exposed to a high salinity …

Mycotoxins are an increasing threat to all the related commodities from agriculture. Its
occurrence is expected to increase due to climate change. Here, we examined the impacts …

Water channels (aquaporins) were originally discovered in mammals with fourteen
subfamilies now identified (AQP0-13). Here we show that a functional Aqp14 subfamily …

Oxytocin (OT) is a crucial regulator of reproductive behaviors, including parturition in
mammals. Arg-vasopressin (AVP) is a nonapeptide homologous to Arg-vasotocin (AVT) in …

In the present study, we assessed the responses of the vasotocinergic and isotocinergic
systems to chronic stress induced by cortisol administration in the gilthead sea bream …

The arginine vasotocin (AVT)‐V1a receptor mediates critical reproductive behaviors of the
nonapeptide vasotocin in the teleost brain. In this study, we report the molecular …
