Abstract Insulin-like growth factor-1 (Igf1) regulates skeletal muscle growth in fishes by
increasing protein synthesis and promoting muscle hypertrophy. When fish experience …

Fish adjust rates of somatic growth in the face of changing food consumption. As in other
vertebrates, growth in fish is regulated by the growth hormone (Gh)/insulin-like growth factor …

The effects of fasting on insulin-like growth factor (IGF)-I, IGF-II, and IGF-binding protein
(IGFBPs) mRNA in channel catfish were examined. Fed control fish (Fed) were compared to …

The growth hormone (GH)/insulin-like growth factor (Igf) endocrine axis regulates somatic
growth in the face of changing environmental conditions. In actinopterygian fishes, food …

The growth hormone (GH)-insulin-like growth factor (IGF) system is the key promoter of
growth in vertebrates; however, how this system modulates muscle mass in fish is just …

Variation in food intake affects somatic growth by altering the expression of hormones in the
somatotropic endocrine axis including insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1). Here, we …

The IGF-binding proteins (IGFBPs) play a dual role in the regulation of the activity and
bioavailability of IGFs in different tissues. Diverse evidence has shown that IGFBPs can …

Gilthead sea bream (Sparus aurata) is a widely cultured fish; however, muscle development
regulation is poorly known. Myogenesis can be activated by the myogenic regulatory factors …

The zebrafish skeletal muscle-specific promoter mylz2 was used to cause crucian carp
overexpression of the zebrafish IGF-1 cDNA. In stable transgenic germline F1 progenies, a 5 …

The energy and nutrient demands of sexual maturation in salmonids requires a shift from
somatic growth to gonadal development, although a loss of skeletal muscle can be avoided …
