Zebrafish represent the one alternative vertebrate, genetic model system to mice that can be
easily manipulated in a laboratory setting. With the teleost Medaka (Oryzias latipes), which …

Leukocytes play a major role in combating infections either by phagocytosis, release of
antimicrobial granules, or extracellular trap (ET) formation. ET formation is preceded by a …

Daily light and feeding cycles act as powerful synchronizers of circadian rhythmicity.
Ultimately, these external cues entrain the expression of clock genes, which generate daily …

To identify circadian patterns of gene expression in skeletal muscle, adult male zebrafish
were acclimated for 2 wk to a 12: 12-h light-dark photoperiod and then exposed to …

The present research aimed to investigate the existence of clock gene expression rhythms in
tilapia, their endogenous origin, and how light and feeding cycles synchronize these …

An extensive network of endogenous oscillators governs vertebrate circadian rhythmicity. At
the molecular level, they are composed of a set of clock genes that participate in …

Light plays a key role in the development of biological rhythms in fish. Recent research in
Senegal sole has revealed that spawning and hatching rhythms, larval development, and …

The expression of select clock genes (clock, bmal, per1, per2, cry1, cry2) was investigated
throughout the day and across the four seasons for two consecutive years in the pituitary of …

Pelteobagrus vachellii, an important freshwater fish in China, shows predominantly
nocturnal behavior. To better understand the growth and molecular mechanisms underlying …

The circadian system drives daily physiological and behavioral rhythms that allow animals to
anticipate cyclic environmental changes. The discovery of the known as “clock genes” …
