Steroid hormones bind receptors in the cell nucleus and in the cell membrane. The most
widely studied class of steroid hormone receptors are the nuclear receptors, named for their …

Ectothermic animals, such as teleosts, have increasingly been exposed to stressful high-
temperature events due to global warming. Currently, the effects of thermal stress on skeletal …

Cortisol is an essential regulator of neuroendocrine stress responses in teleost. Cortisol
performs its effects through the modulation of glucocorticoid receptor (GR) and …

This article reports on the thermal tolerance, metabolic capacity and performance of juvenile
meagre (Argyrosomus regius) reared under three high water temperatures (24, 29 and 34° …

Salmonids are a species of high commercial value in Chilean aquaculture, where muscle is
the final product of the industry. Fish can be affected by stress during intensive cultures …

Although teleosts show an elevated insulin response to hyperglycemia, the circulating
glucose levels are not normalized as rapidly as in mammals. While this may suggest a lack …

Skeletal muscle is the most abundant tissue in teleosts and is essential for movement and
metabolism. Recently, it has been described that skeletal muscle can express and secrete …

Cortisol hormone is considered the main corticosteroid in fish stress, acting through
glucocorticoid (GR) or mineralocorticoid (MR) receptor. The 11-deoxycorticosterone (DOC) …

Glucocorticoids are key stress-related hormones in vertebrates, with cortisol being the main
glucocorticoid in teleosts. Glucocorticoids exert their effects through two mechanisms of …

The production and release of cortisol during stress responses are key regulators of growth
in teleosts. Understanding the molecular responses to cortisol is crucial for the sustainable …
