Abstract Thyroxine (T 4) and triiodothyronine (T 3), the principal thyroid hormones (THs)
secreted from the hypothalamic–pituitary–thyroid (HPT) axis, produce a plethora of …

Publisher Summary This chapter discusses the regulatory pathways, the targets, the
functions, and the interactions among the corticotropic, melanotropic, and thyrotropic axes …

Experimental approaches for increasing or decreasing thyroidal status to determine the
roles of thyroid hormones in fish have been examined. Despite some problems in design or …

This study aimed to investigate the effects of transport stress on the physiological responses
and immunity of Megalobrama amblycephala (blunt snout bream). Fish (109.67±1.51 g) …

Thyroid hormones are critical regulators of normal development and physiological
functioning in all vertebrates. Radioimmunoassay (RIA) approaches have been the method …

The influence of PCBs on the thyroid status of rainbow trout was assessed at various
temperatures to identify if PCB mixtures, as well OH-PCBs produced via biotransformation of …

A putative rainbow trout type III deiodinase (D3) cDNA was amplified by PCR, using primers
to evolutionarily conserved sequences. The RACE-derived complete cDNA was then …

This study aimed to investigate the effects of transport stress on the physiological responses
and immunity of Megalobrama amblycephala. Fish (average weight: 109.67±1.51 g) were …

Abstract San Francisco Bay is well documented to be contaminated with several kinds of
chemical pollutants. This study's objectives were to determine possible alterations in thyroid …
