In evolutionary terms, GH and intracellular STAT 5 signaling is a very old regulatory system.
Whereas insulin dominates periprandially, GH may be viewed as the primary anabolic …

Recent advances in developmental biology, systems biology, and network science are
converging to poise the heretofore largely empirical field of tissue engineering on the brink …

Fish Nutrition, Fourth Edition is an up-to-date, authoritative presentation of all key elements
of the nutrition of fish and crustaceans. As aquaculture is rapidly expanding, more than 200 …

Fish have provided essential information about the structure, biosynthesis, evolution, and
function of insulin (INS) as well as about the structure, evolution, and mechanism of action of …

Publisher Summary This chapter discusses the insulin-like peptides: structure, signaling,
and function. Insulin-like peptides (ILPs) are paragons for the conservation of hormone …

Zebrafish embryos are emerging as models of glucose metabolism. However, patterns of
endogenous glucose levels, and the role of the islet in glucoregulation, are unknown. We …

Proinsulin is generally regarded as an inactive prohormone because of its low metabolic
activity. However, proinsulin appears to regulate embryo development in animal models. In …

Estradiol and insulin-like growth factor-I (IGF-I) interact in the brain to regulate a variety of
developmental and neuroplastic events. Some of these interactions are involved in the …

The molecular phylogeny of the vertebrate insulin receptor (IR) family was reconstructed
under maximum likelihood (ML) to establish homologous relationships among its members …

projected image to control emmetropization. Glucagon may be involved in the sign of …
