Molecular cloning experiments indicate the presence of two distinct CRF genes in the sucker
genome encoding independent 162-amino-acid precursors, which both consist of a signal …

To gain a better understanding of the mechanisms by which cortisol suppresses growth
during chronic stress in fish, we characterized the effects of chronic cortisol on food intake …

Interrenal tissue from embryonic and larval rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) was
cultured in vitro and exposed to various doses of adrenocorticotropin (ACTII) to document …

This study aims to shed light on corticosteroid regulation of stress in teleost fish with focus on
the corticosteroid signalling system. The role of the mineralocorticoid-like hormone 11 …

Glucocorticoids serve important regulatory functions for many physiological processes and
are critical mediators of the stress response. The stress response is a set of bodily processes …

The vertebrate hypothalamus–pituitary–adrenal (HPA; or interrenal) axis plays pivotal roles
in animal development and in physiological and behavioral adaptation to environmental …

We tested the capability of the endocrine system in zebrafish to respond to environmental
salinity challenges during larval stages. We reveal that the zebrafish larvae have a system in …

The zebrafish (Danio rerio) is rapidly becoming a popular model species in stress and
neuroscience research. Their behavior, robustly affected by environmental and …

Urocortins, three paralogs of the stress-related peptide corticotropin-releasing factor (CRF)
found in bony fish, amphibians, birds, and mammals, have unique phylogenies …
