The caudal neurosecretory system (CNSS) is unique to fish and has suggested homeostatic
roles in osmoregulation and reproduction. Magnocellular neuroendocrine Dahlgren cells …

The cortisol stress response and the molecular programming of the corticoid axis were
characterized for the first time during early ontogeny in a Mediterranean marine teleost, the …

The stress neurohormone corticotropin releasing factor (CRF) activates at least two receptor
types. Expression of corticotropin releasing factor receptor type II (CRF2) has been …

Although the critical role of maternal care on the development of brain and behaviour of the
offspring has been extensively studied, knowledge about the importance of paternal care is …

In teleosts, changes in swimming, exploring, general locomotor activity, and anxious state
can be a response to stress mediated by the corticotropin-releasing hormone system …

Corticotropin-releasing factor (CRF) is a 41-amino acid neuropeptide, which is recognized
as a critical mediator of complimentary, stress-related endocrine, autonomic, and behavioral …

The present study describes the transcriptional levels of the corticosteroid receptors (CRs)
GR1, GR2 and MR in the different organs of the rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) in …

In the wild, animals survive by responding to perceived threats with adaptive and
appropriate changes in their behaviors and physiological states. The exact nature of these …

Stressor‐induced elevation of circulating cortisol levels is generally considered to have an
inhibitory effect on reproduction in teleosts. However, mature female fish have higher levels …

The objectives of this study were to characterize rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss)
corticotropin-releasing factor (CRF) and neuropeptide Y (NPY) cDNAs and to determine …
