Journal ArticleDOI
The origin and function of the pituitary adenylate cyclase-activating polypeptide (pacap)/glucagon superfamily
TL;DR: The pituitary adenylate cyclase-activating polypeptide (PACAP) regulates metabolism and the cardiovascular, endocrine, and immune systems, although the physiological event(s) that coordinates PACAP responses remains to be identified.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: The results indicate that the amphioxus genome is elemental to an understanding of the biology and evolution of nonchordate deuterostomes, invertebrate chordates, and vertebrates.
Journal ArticleDOI
Gonadotropin-releasing hormone surge in pro-oestrous rats
TL;DR: Althesin an anaesthetic is used to show that, although it can provide adequate analgesia, Althesin does not interfere with various forebrain functions and block the spontaneous LH surge or ovulation.

Journal ArticleDOI
Characterization of a teleost gonadotropin-releasing hormone.
TL;DR: A peptide that is recognized by certain antibodies raised against mammalian gonadotropin-releasing hormone has been purified from extracts of salmon brains by gel filtration and high-performance liquid chromatography and demonstrates that most of the molecule has been conserved during evolution.
