Background Interspecies hybridization is an important breeding method to generate fishes
with heterosis in aquaculture. Using this method, hybrid Nile tilapia (Oreochromis …

In teleosts, ghrelin plays an important role in body weight gain. This hormone has been used
in functional studies on food intake and foraging-related behaviors. However, the regulatory …

Hybridization is a common breeding technique that can improve germplasm through
heterosis in aquaculture. However, the regulation of key gene expression, including the …

Ghrelin has been well known as an orexigenic hormone that regulates appetite and energy
metabolism in animals. Recent studies imply the regulatory function of ghrelin on ovary …

The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of genotype on gene expression and
performance characteristics in crossbred GIFT× Chitralada tilapia. We compared the effects …

Ghrelin is a growth-promoting hormone produced by the gastrointestinal tract that plays a
crucial role through the ghrelin-growth hormone secretagogue receptor (GHS-R) and growth …

Growth hormone plays important roles in various physiological processes such as growth,
metabolism, and reproduction. In this study, two cDNAs encoding growth hormone receptor …

Ghrelin is one of the vital brain-gut peptides in vertebrates. In 1999, a noval 28-amino acid
gut-brain peptide named ghrelin was first isolated from the mammalian stomach. Similar to …

The objectives of the present study were to screen for nucleotide polymorphism in GHR1
gene among the large and small body weights' Nile tilapia using DNA sequencing. Also, to …

Growth is an important trait in animal breeding. However, the genetic effects underpinning
fish growth variability are still poorly understood. QTL mapping and analysis of candidate …
