Neuropeptides and the control of food intake in fish.
Hélène Volkoff,Luis Fabián Canosa,Suraj Unniappan,José Miguel Cerdá-Reverter,Nicholas J. Bernier,Scott P. Kelly,R.E. Peter +6 more
TL;DR: In goldfish, nutritional status can modify the expression of mRNAs encoding a number of orexigenic peptides, which provides further evidence for their roles as appetite regulators: (1) brain mRNA expression of CCK, CART, tachykinins, galanin, ghrelin, and NPY undergo peri-prandial variations; and (2) fasting increases the brain RNA expression of NPY, AgRP, and gh Relin as well as serum
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: An overview of hormones known to regulate food intake in fish is provided, emphasizing on major hormones and the main fish groups studied to date.
Journal ArticleDOI
Appetite-Controlling Endocrine Systems in Teleosts
TL;DR: This review summarizes the recent findings on endocrine appetite-controlling systems in fish, highlights their impact on growth and survival, and discusses the perspectives in this research field to shed light on the intriguing adaptations that exist in fish and their underlying mechanisms.
