It has now become accepted that the immune system and neuroendocrine system form an
integrated part of our physiology. Immunological defense mechanisms act in concert with …

The barrier defences and acellular innate immune proteins play critical roles during the early‐
stage fish embryos prior to the development of functional organ systems. The innate immune …

Neuropeptide Y (NPY), an important neurotransmitter, is widely distributed in the nervous

Although the effect of insulin-like growth factors (IGFs) in fetal adrenocortical cells has been
investigated extensively, the role of the IGF system in the adult human adrenal gland …

Half-smooth tongue sole, Cynoglossus semilaevis, is an ideal model to investigate the
regulatory mechanisms of sexual growth dimorphism in fish species. The aim of the study …

Growth hormone (GH) is a single chain polypeptide of approximately 22 kDa, produced by

Growth hormone (Gh) regulates somatic growth in fishes, particularly through the Gh-insulin-
like growth factor-I (Igf-I) axis. In this study, recombinant Japanese eel Ghs with or without C …

Spotted scat Scatophagus argus exhibits a typical sexual growth dimorphism in which the
females grow faster than the males. Growth hormone (GH) is best known as an anterior …

Myostatin is a TGF-β family member that plays a key role in regulating skeletal muscle
