In humans, as in the other mammals, the neuroendocrine control of reproduction is ensured
by the brain-pituitary gonadotropic axis. Multiple internal and environmental cues are …

Stress and reproduction are both essential functions for vertebrate survival, ensuring on one
side adaptative responses to environmental changes and potential life threats, and on the …

Gonadotropin-inhibitory hormone (GnIH) was the first reported hypothalamic neuropeptide
inhibiting reproduction in vertebrates. Since its discovery in the quail brain, its orthologs …

Kisspeptin (Kiss) is considered an upstream regulator of gonadotropin-releasing hormone in
mammals but its role in non-mammalian vertebrates is not unequivocally established. In the …

The hypothalamo–pituitary–gonadal (HPG) axis plays a major role in coordinating the
reproduction of fish and other vertebrates. Gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) is the …

Abstract The European eel (Anguilla anguilla) is critically endangered throughout its range.
Knowledge about age distribution of future spawners (silver eels) is essential to monitor the …

In mammals, neurokinin B (NKB) is a short peptide encoded by the gene tac3. It is involved
in the brain control of reproduction by stimulating gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) …

Seasonal reproduction is generally controlled by the hypothalamus-pituitary-gonadal (HPG)
axis in fish. Previous studies have demonstrated that the kisspeptin (Kiss)/kisspeptin …

In the last two decades, kisspeptin (Kiss) has been identified as an important player in the
regulation of reproduction and other physiological functions in vertebrates, including several …

Since its discovery in birds, gonadotropin-inhibitory hormone (GnIH) has triggered
investigation in the other groups of vertebrates. In the present study, we have identified a …
