The stress response in teleost fish shows many similarities to that of the terrestrial
vertebrates. These concern the principal messengers of the brain-sympathetic-chromaffin …

In fish, the catecholamine hormones adrenaline and noradrenaline are released into the
circulation, from chromaffin cells, during numerous 'stressful'situations. The physiological …

Stress response is essential for the organism to quickly restore physiological homeostasis
disturbed by various environmental insults. In addition to well-established physiological …

The opportunity to prepare a second edition of a book that was originally written 30 years
ago has provided me with both a challenge and a source of pleas over ure; the former as it …

Flounders Pleuronectes flesus with an implanted vascular catheter were exposed to a 50%
dilution of the water soluble fraction (WSF) of Omani crude oil (c. 6ppm total aromatic …

The goal of this review is to discuss and clarify some of the issues currently being debated
regarding the acute humoral adrenergic stress response in fish. The afferent limb of the …

The adrenal homolog of teleosts is not a compact organ as the adrenal glands of most
vertebrates but is composed by aminergic chromaffin and interrenal steroidogenic cells …

Next to extremes in temperature, hypoxia is arguably the most significant environmental
challenge faced by fishes. This is because of the disruptions/consequences it has for the …

If severe enough, periods of acute stress in animals may be associated with the release of
catecholamine hormones (noradrenaline and adrenaline) into the circulation; a response …

This study examined the effects of pituitary-interrenal hormones on catecholamine storage
and release in the rainbow trout Oncorhynchus mykiss. An extract of trout pituitary elicited …
