Teleosts lack a hypophyseal portal system and hence neurohormones are carried by nerve
fibers from the preoptic region to the pituitary. The various cell types in the teleost pituitary …

Social interactions and relative positions within a dominance hierarchy have helped shape
the evolution of reproduction in many animals. Since reproduction is crucial in all animals …

The endocrine regulation of vertebrate reproduction is achieved by the coordinated actions
of several peptide neurohormones, tachykinin among them. To study the evolutionary …

This trial aimed to investigate whether dietary selenium form influenced the reproductive
performance of red tilapia broodfish. Four experimental broodstock diets were prepared …

Gnrh is the major neuropeptide regulator of vertebrate reproduction, triggering a cascade of
events in the pituitary-gonadal axis that result in reproductive competence. Previous …

Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) ovulates and releases eggs many times a year, and its
suitable spawning temperature is 22° C–28° C. High temperature limits its success in …

LPXRFamide (LPXRFa) peptides have been characterized for their ability to inhibit
gonadotropin (GTH) release in birds and stimulate growth hormone (GH) release in frogs …

Ovarian function in teleosts, like in other vertebrates, is regulated by two distinct
gonadotropins, follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) and luteinizing hormone (LH) …

Spexin (SPX) is a 14 amino acid peptide hormone that has pleiotropic functions across
vertebrates, one of which is involvement in the brain-pituitary-gonad axis of fish. SPX (1) has …

The two gonadotropins follicle-stimulating hormone (Fsh) and luteinizing hormone (Lh) are
of particular importance within the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal (HPG) axis of vertebrates …
