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 …

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 …

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 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 …

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

The objectives of this study were to characterize rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss)
corticotropin-releasing factor (CRF)-binding protein (CRF-BP) cDNA and to examine the …

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

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