Puberty comprises the transition from an immature juvenile to a mature adult state of the
reproductive system, ie the individual becomes capable of reproducing sexually for the first …

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 …

While gonadotropin‐releasing hormone (GnRH) is considered as the major hypothalamic
factor controlling pituitary gonadotrophins in mammals and most other vertebrates, its …

Puberty is the process by which animals acquire for the first time the ability to reproduce. In
teleost fishes, an understanding of the mechanism underlying pubertal development is …

In many teleosts, dopamine (DA) exerts direct inhibitory control on gonadotropes,
counteracting the stimulatory effect of gonadotropin‐releasing hormone (GnRH) on …

The eel has long been esteemed as an important food fish in the world, especially in Japan,
and has been used as an experimental fish for many fields of fish physiology. However, the …

COVID-19 vaccines have been instrumental tools in the fight against SARS-CoV-2 helping
to reduce disease severity and mortality. At the same time, just like any other therapeutic …

In various adult teleost fishes, LH ovulatory peak is under a dual neurohormonal control that
is stimulatory by GnRH and inhibitory by dopamine (DA). We investigated whether DA could …

Fluorotelomer alcohols (FTOHs) have shown estrogenic activity in vitro and in vivo, but the
mechanism of this activity is not known. In this study, 18-week-old zebrafish (Danio rerio) …

Gonadotropin-inhibitory hormone (GnIH) inhibits gonadotropin synthesis and release from
the pituitary of birds and mammals. However, the physiological role of orthologous GnIH …
