Gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) plays a central role in vertebrate reproduction.
The evolutionary origin of this neuropeptide and its receptor is not obvious, but the advent of …

Reproductive Biology of Teleost Fishes is the first integrated review of the reproductive
biology of the bony fishes, which are the most species-rich and diversified group of …

Gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) is the final common signaling molecule used by
the brain to regulate reproduction in all vertebrates. Until now, a total of 24 GnRH structural …

Teleosts display the most striking reproductive diversity of all vertebrates. However, no
convincing hypothesis has yet been proposed to explain why they have evolved this …

It is well established that Kisspeptin regulates the onset of puberty in vertebrates through
stimulation of the secretion of gonadotropin-releasing hormones. However, the function of …

In vertebrates, GnRH binds to its receptor and stimulates predominantly Gq/11-mediated
signal transduction in gonadotropes. However, little is known about the GnRH receptor and …

Reproduction in all vertebrates requires the brain hormone gonadotropin-releasing
hormone (GnRH) to activate a cascade of events leading to gametogenesis. All vertebrates …

Neurotransmitters and neurohormones are agents that control gonad maturation in decapod
crustaceans. Of these, serotonin (5-HT) and dopamine (DA) are neurotransmitters with …

The genome for two species of Ciona is available making these tunicates excellent models
for studies on the evolution of the chordates. In this review most of the data is from Ciona …

Aquaculture is the world's fastest-growing agricultural business sector, and world fish
production comprises both catches of wild fish and production through aquaculture. In recent …
