Although environmental, social and physical stressors have been shown to inhibit food
intake and feeding behavior in fish, little is known about the mechanisms that mediate the …

A characteristic feature of the behavioural response to intensely acute or chronic stressors is
a reduction in appetite. In fish, as in other vertebrates, the corticotropin-releasing factor …

Hypoxia stress suppresses appetite in a variety of fish species, but the mechanisms
mediating this response are not known. Therefore, given their anorexigenic and …

The homeostatic regulation of food intake relies on a complex network involving peripheral
and central signals that are integrated in the hypothalamus which in turn responds with the …

Corticotropin-releasing factor (CRF), urotensin I (UI) and serotonin (5-HT) are generally
recognized as key regulators of the anorexigenic stress response in vertebrates, yet the …

The brain, particularly the hypothalamus, integrates input from factors that stimulate
(orexigenic) and inhibit (anorexigenic) food intake. In fish, the identification of appetite …

In mammals, the orexigenic and anorexigenic neuronal systems are morphologically and
functionally connected, forming an interconnected network in the hypothalamus to govern …

Abstract Corticotropin-releasing factor (CRF)-and urotensin I (UI)-expressing cells of the
preoptic area (POA) and caudal neurosecretory system (CNSS) are considered key …

To assess mechanisms relating to food intake and glucosensing in fish, and their interaction
with stress, we evaluated changes in the expression of orexigenic (NPY) and anorexigenic …

The endocrine stress response is pivotal in vertebrate physiology. The stress hormone
cortisol—the end product of the endocrine stress axis—(re-) directs energy flows for optimal …
