Driven by the broad diversity of species and physiologies and by reproduction-related
bottlenecks in aquaculture, the field of fish reproductive biology has rapidly grown over the …

It is well known that gonadotropin-releasing hormone (Gnrh) has a key role in reproduction
by regulating the synthesis and release of gonadotropins from the anterior pituitary gland of …

Kisspeptin, encoded by the KISS1 gene, was first discovered as a potential metastasis
suppressor gene. The prepro-kisspeptin precursor is cleaved into shorter mature bioactive …

Cellular communications play pivotal roles in multi-cellular species, but they do so also in
uni-cellular species. Moreover, cells communicate with each other not only within the same …

Gonadotropins are glycoprotein sex hormones regulating development and reproduction
and bind to specific G protein–coupled receptors expressed in the gonads. Their effects on …

Bilateria have bilateral symmetry and are subdivided into Deuterostomia (animals like
vertebrates) and Protostomia (animals like insects and mollusks). Neuropeptides occur in …

From mammals to fish, reproduction is driven by luteinizing hormone (LH) and follicle-
stimulating hormone (FSH) temporally secreted from the pituitary gland. Teleost fish are an …

During the teleost radiation, extensive development of the direct innervation mode of
hypothalamo-pituitary communication was accompanied by loss of the median eminence …

Fish are poikilotherm and small changes in water temperature can greatly affect
physiological processes including reproduction, which is regulated by complex …

The field of fish gonadotropin‐releasing hormones (GnRHs) is also celebrating its 50th
anniversary this year. This review provides a chronological history of fish GnRH biology over …
