The corticotropin-releasing factor (CRF) system in fish functions to maintain homeostasis
during stress in part by regulating cortisol production via the hypothalamus–pituitary …

To further our understanding of the development of the stress axis and the responsiveness
of embryonic and larval fish to environmental stressors, this study examined the ontogeny of …

Corticotropin-releasing factor (CRF) is well known for its role in regulating the stress
response in vertebrate species by controlling release of glucocorticoids. CRF also …

Our current understanding of the corticotropin‐releasing factor (CRF) system distribution in
the teleost brain is restricted by limited immunohistochemical studies and a lack of complete …

Corticotropin-releasing factor (CRF) and urotensin I (UI) precursor cDNAs were cloned and
sequenced from a goldfish brain cDNA library in order to investigate the distribution of CRF …

Corticotropin‐releasing hormone (CRH) plays a central role in the physiological regulation
of the hypothalamus‐pituitary‐adrenal/interrenal axis mediating endocrine, behavioral …

The functions of the hypothalamus–pituitary–interrenal (HPI) axis in teleosts have been
studied primarily in juvenile and adult fish, whereas little is known about the molecular …

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 …

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 …

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