Arginine Vasotocin, the Social Neuropeptide of Amphibians and Reptiles [PDF]

Frontiers in Endocrinology, 2017
Arginine vasotocin (AVT) is the non-mammalian homolog of arginine vasopressin (AVP) and, like vasopressin, serves as an important modulator of social behavior in addition to its peripheral functions related to osmoregulation, reproductive physiology, and

Expression of arginine vasotocin receptors in the developing zebrafish CNS [PDF]

Gene Expression Patterns, 2013
Vasotocin/vasopressin is a neuropeptide that regulates social and reproductive behaviors in a variety of animals including fish. Arginine vasotocin (AVT) is expressed by cells in the ventral hypothalamic and preoptic areas in the diencephalon during embryogenesis in zebrafish suggesting that vasotocin might mediate other functions within the CNS prior ...

Development of a chub mackerel with less-aggressive fry stage by genome editing of arginine vasotocin receptor V1a2 [PDF]

Scientific Reports, 2023
Genome editing is a technology that can remarkably accelerate crop and animal breeding via artificial induction of desired traits with high accuracy. This study aimed to develop a chub mackerel variety with reduced aggression using an experimental system

Arginine Vasotocin Preprohormone Is Expressed in Surprising Regions of the Teleost Forebrain [PDF]

Frontiers in Endocrinology, 2017
Nonapeptides play a fundamental role in the regulation of social behavior, among numerous other functions. In particular, arginine vasopressin and its non-mammalian homolog, arginine vasotocin (AVT), have been implicated in regulating affiliative ...

Arginine vasotocin regulation of interspecific cooperative behaviour in a cleaner fish. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2012
In an interspecific cooperative context, individuals must be prepared to tolerate close interactive proximity to other species but also need to be able to respond to relevant social stimuli in the most appropriate manner.

Arginine vasotocin is a player in the multifactorial control of spermatogenesis in zebrafish [PDF]

Frontiers in Endocrinology
This study investigated the role of vasotocin (AVT) in the multifaceted regulation of spermatogenesis in zebrafish, with a focus on its interaction with gonadotropin hormones.

An essential role of the arginine vasotocin system in mate-guarding behaviors in triadic relationships of medaka fish (Oryzias latipes). [PDF]

PLoS Genetics, 2015
To increase individual male fitness, males of various species remain near a (potential) mating partner and repel their rivals (mate-guarding). Mate-guarding is assumed to be mediated by two different types of motivation: sexual motivation toward the ...

Immediate access to feed and water in the hatcher influences early metabolic and thermoregulatory status in broiler chicks but is associated with breed-specific differences in later walking ability [PDF]

Poultry Science
Providing newly hatched chicks with immediate access to feed and water (i.e. early feeding, EF) has gained increasing interest as a management strategy to improve gut health, performance and welfare in broilers.

Effects of luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone and arginine-vasotocin on the sperm-release response of Günther's Toadlet, Pseudophryne guentheri [PDF]

Reproductive Biology and Endocrinology, 2010
Background Luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone (LHRH) is an exogenous hormone commonly used to induce spermiation in anuran amphibians. Over the past few decades, the LHRH dose administered to individuals and the frequency of injection has been highly ...
