Teleost muscle first arises in early embryonic life and its development is driven by molecules
present in the egg yolk and modulated by environmental stimuli including temperature and …

Aquaculture has become an agronomic activity with noticeable development around the
world to respond to the simultaneous decrease of fish captures and the increasing demand …

The growth hormone (GH)-insulin-like growth factor (IGF) system is the key promoter of
growth in vertebrates; however, how this system modulates muscle mass in fish is just …

The insulin-like growth factor signalling system comprises insulin-like growth factors, insulin-
like growth factor receptors and insulin-like growth factor-binding proteins. Along with the …

Background Zebrafish has been largely accepted as a vertebrate multidisciplinary model but
its usefulness as a model for exercise physiology has been hampered by the scarce …

Zebrafish (Danio rerio) is a common research model in fish studies of toxicology,
developmental biology, neurobiology and molecular genetics; it has been proposed as a …

The insulin-like growth factor (Igf) binding protein (Igfbp) family has a broad range of
physiological functions and a fascinating evolutionary history. This review focuses on the …

The insulin-like growth factor-I (IGF-I) is a key regulator of skeletal muscle growth in
vertebrates, promoting mitogenic and anabolic effects through the activation of the …

The insulin-like growth factor signalling pathway is an important regulator of skeletal muscle
growth. We examined the mRNA expression of components of the insulin-like growth factor …

Insulin-like growth factor binding proteins (IGFBPs) play crucial roles in regulating the
availability of IGFs to receptors and prolong the half-lives of IGFs. There are six IGFBPs …
