Prolactin is an important regulator of multiple biological functions in vertebrates, and has
been viewed as essential to ion uptake as well as reduction in ion and water permeability of …

Osmoregulatory actions of growth hormone (GH) and its mode of action in salmonids are
reviewed. We present evidence suggesting that insulin-like growth factor I (IGF-I) mediates …

Glycyrrhizin and its analogues were screened for antihepatotoxic activity by in vitro assay
methods using carbon tetrachloride (CCl 4)-and galactosarnine-induced cytotoxicity in primary …

We have examined several physiological variables related to salinity acclimation in the
euryhaline tilapia, Oreochromis mossambicus. Tilapia reared in fresh water (FW) were …

The lack of intravital imaging of axonal transport of mitochondria in the mammalian CNS
precludes characterization of the dynamics of axonal transport of mitochondria in the diseased …

Teleost fishes exhibit complex sexual characteristics in response to androgens, such as fin
enlargement and courtship display. However, the molecular mechanisms underlying their …

To date, growth hormone (GH) is known to contribute to seawater adaptation only in salmonid
fishes (primitive Euteleostei). Accordingly, the effects of homologous GH and two forms of …

Teleost fishes are the major group of ray-finned fishes and represent more than one-half of
the total number of vertebrate species. They have experienced in their evolution an additional …

Growth hormone has been shown to contribute to seawater adaptation of salmonid fishes.
The growth influence of growth hormone is mediated largely by hepatic production of insulin-…

It has long been held that cortisol, a glucocorticoid in many vertebrates, performs glucocorticoid
and mineralocorticoid actions in the teleost fish since it lacks aldosterone. However, in …
