In all vertebrate species, including fish, reproduction is controlled by pituitary gonadotropins
(GTHs). In mammals, it is common knowledge that the two gonadotropic hormones—follicle …

In the present study, we cloned and characterized zebrafish FSH receptor (Fshr) and LH
receptor (Lhr). Both fshr and lhr were abundantly expressed in the zebrafish gonads; …

Recently, zebrafish has quickly risen as a model species for functional analysis of the brain–
pituitary–gonad axis. However, one of the hurdles for such work in this popular model …

Follicle stimulating hormone (Fsh) and luteinizing hormone (Lh) produced by the
gonadotropes, play a major role in control of reproduction. Contrary to mammals and birds …

Gonadotropin (GTH) is a pituitary glycoprotein hormone that regulates gonadal development
in vertebrates. In teleosts, it is considered that two types of GTH, GTH I (follicle-stimulating …

Pituitary hormones play a central role in shaping vertebrate life history events, including
growth, reproduction, metabolism, and aging. The regulation of these traits often requires …

Salmon pituitary polypeptide hormones play a vital role in all aspects of the fish life cycle
which include somatic growth, sexual maturation and reproduction, spawning migration and …

Two types of cDNA, each encoding a different β-subunit of striped bass (Morone saxatilis,
Teleostei) gonadotrophins (GTH-Iβ and GTH-IIβ), as well as the glycoprotein α-subunit, were …

Age at maturity is a key life history trait and a significant contributor to life history strategy
variation. The maturation process is influenced by genetic and environmental factors, but …

Luteinizing hormone (Lh) and follicle-stimulating hormone (Fsh) control reproduction in
vertebrates. Using a transgenic line of medaka, in which green fluorescent protein …
