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) …

The key component regulating vertebrate puberty and sexual maturation is the endocrine
system primarily effectuated along the brain–pituitary–gonad (BPG) axis. By far most …

The secretion of gonadotropins, the key reproductive hormones in vertebrates, is controlled
from the brain by the gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH), but also by complex steroid …

The pituitary of a number of teleosts contains two gonadotropins (GtHs) which are produced
in distinct populations of cells; the β subunit of the GtH I being found in close proximity to the …

Two distinct gonadotropins (GTHs) have been demonstrated in a number of teleost fishes.
Although the physiological roles of GTHs have been extensively studied in salmonids, little …

Abstract A putative FSH receptor (FSH-R) cDNA was cloned from African catfish testis.
Alignment of the deduced amino acid sequence with other (putative) glycoprotein hormone …

The vertebrate pituitary is a dynamic organ, capable of adapting its hormone secretion to
different physiological demands. In this context, endocrinologists have debated for the past …

The present study focused on the role of catecholaminergic neurons and estrogens on the
release of gonadotropins I and II in immature and early vitellogenic female rainbow trout …

Reproduction is controlled by two pituitary gonadotropin hormones, follicle-stimulating
hormone (FSH) and luteinizing hormone (LH). This study reports the cloning, sequence …

The effect of long-term exposure to continuous light on the hormonal aspects of the
reproductive axis was investigated in juvenile male sea bass (Dicentrarchus labrax, L.) …
