Journal ArticleDOI
Neuroendocrinology of reproduction in teleost fish.
TL;DR: Although precise information as to the physiological effects of KiSS1 in fish, notably on GnRH neurons and gonadotropin release, is still limited, KiSS neurons may emerge as the "gatekeeper" of puberty and reproduction in fish as in mammals.
Book ChapterDOI
Regulation of fish gonadotropins.
TL;DR: GnRH increases the steady-state levels of GPalpha, LHbeta, and FSHbeta mRNAs, and the effect of these peptides on the expression of the gonadotropin subunit genes is transduced differentially.
Journal ArticleDOI
Deepwater horizon crude oil impacts the developing hearts of large predatory pelagic fish

TL;DR: It is shown that environmentally realistic exposures to crude oil cause specific dose-dependent defects in cardiac function in all three species, with circulatory disruption culminating in pericardial edema and other secondary malformations.
Journal ArticleDOI
Three forms of gonadotropin-releasing hormone characterized from brains of one species.
J.F.F. Powell,Yonathan Zohar,Abigail Elizur,Minkyu Park,Wolfgang H. Fischer,A. G. Craig,Jean Rivier,David A. Lovejoy,Nancy M. Sherwood +8 more
TL;DR: Sea bream brains have three forms of GnRH, one of which is described herein and is called sea bream GnRH (sbGnRH), andylogenetic distribution of Gn RH peptides suggests sbGnRh arose in the perch-like fish as a gene duplication of the existing cGn RH-II or salmon GnRH genes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Three forms of gonadotropin-releasing hormone in a perciform fish (Sparus aurata): complementary deoxyribonucleic acid characterization and brain localization.
Yoav Gothilf,José Antonio Muñoz-Cueto,Cathy A. Sagrillo,Michael Selmanoff,Thomas T. Chen,Olivier Kah,Abigail Elizur,Yonathan Zohar +7 more
TL;DR: The discrete sites of expression of the three forms of GnRH indicate that only sbGnRH is directly involved in the control of gonadotropin secretion.
