A great deal of information is known regarding the process of sex differentiation in fish, and
the mechanisms involved in primary sex determination are now beginning to be defined. A …

This review aims at synthesizing the most relevant information regarding the
neuroendocrine circuits controlling reproduction, mainly gonadotropin release, in teleost …

Fish body growth is a trait of major importance for individual survival and reproduction. It has
implications in population, ecology, and evolution. Somatic growth is controlled by the …

Neurohormones similar to those of mammals are carried in fish by hypothalamic nerve fibers
to regulate directly follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) and luteinizing hormone (LH) …

Fish have been of paramount importance to our understanding of vertebrate comparative
neuroendocrinology and the mechanisms underlying the physiology and evolution of …

The biological actions of growth hormone (GH) are pleiotropic, including growth promotion,
energy mobilization, gonadal development, appetite, and social behavior. Accordingly, the …

While gonadotropin‐releasing hormone (GnRH) is considered as the major hypothalamic
factor controlling pituitary gonadotrophins in mammals and most other vertebrates, its …

This review covers the current knowledge on the regulation of the somatic growth axis and
its interaction with metabolism and feeding regulation. The main endocrine and …

Growth hormone (GH), mainly produced from the pituitary somatotrophs is a key endocrine
regulator of somatic growth. GH, a pleiotropic hormone, is also involved in regulating vital …

The pituitary gonadotropins luteinizing hormone (LH) and follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH)
regulate steroidogenesis and spermatogenesis by activating receptors expressed by Leydig …
