... of the insulin-like growth factor (IGF) system – an endocrine pathway downstream of growth hormone (GH). Skeletal muscle is the main target for growth and energetic storage in fish, yet little is known about how its growth is regulated during an immune response. We addressed this knowledge gap by characterising...

..., increasing adipoR1 expression in adipose tissue. The effects of LPS could be mediated through tumour necrosis factor α (TNFα), at least in red muscle. Insulin, growth hormone and TNFα all diminished expression of adipoR2 in adipocytes and adipoR1 in myotubes, while insulin increased the expression of adipoR2...

...Steven B. Roberts; Linda A. R. McCauley; Robert H. Devlin; Frederick W. Goetz SUMMARY To characterize the role of myostatin (MSTN) in fast growing animals and to examine the relationship between MSTN and growth hormone (GH), MSTN transcript and protein expression were measured in coho salmon...

...Makoto Takada; Miyoko Kasai SUMMARY Prolactin (PRL) has, for some years, been considered to be the `juvenile hormone' in amphibians. Recently, growth hormone (GH) has been proposed as another candidate, because in the larval stages the expression of the mRNA GH is high but it is downregulated...

... Na + ,K + -ATPase activity that was half of that seen under normal photoperiod and temperature conditions. Plasma growth hormone (GH) levels increased threefold in late March under ADV/LDN,but not under ADV/LD 9:15, indicating that there is a photoperiod-dependent effect of temperature on levels...

.... Gill CR concentration was manipulated by stress or hormonal treatments. Repeated handling stresses resulted in a significant reduction in CR numbers. The decrease in CR B max corresponded to a reduction in gill responsiveness to cortisol. Triiodothyronine, but not growth hormone, treatment was found...

... 188 :tPRL 177 ratio and plasma concentrations of Na + , Cl − , K + , growth hormone (GH), glucose, aspartate, tyrosine, alanine, methionine, phenylalanine, leucine, isoleucine and valine levels as well as gill Na + /K + -ATPase activity and hepatic PK and LDH activities, whereas plasma tPRL 177 , tPRL...

... of hormone levels was used to induce CC proliferation; fish were injected with a combination of cortisol (8 mg kg −1 intramuscularly every day for 10 days) and ovine growth hormone (2 mg kg −1 intraperitoneally every second day for 10 days). The extent of CC proliferation was quantified using scanning...
