The leptin system and its expression at different nutritional and pregnant stages in lined seahorse (Hippocampus erectus) [PDF]
Biology Open, 2016 Leptin is an essential hormone for the regulation of energy metabolism and food intake in vertebrate animals. To better understand the physiological roles of leptin in nutrient regulation in paternal ovoviviparous fish (family Syngnathidae), the present ...

Temperature-induced physiological stress and reproductive characteristics of the migratory seahorse Hippocampus erectus during a thermal stress simulation [PDF]
Biology Open, 2018 Inshore-offshore migration occurs frequently in seahorse species, either because of prey opportunities or because they are driven by reproduction, and variations in water temperature may dramatically change migratory seahorse behavior and physiology. The

Ontwikkeling van het maagdarmstelsel bij het zeepaardje (Hippocampus erectus P.) [PDF]
Vlaams Diergeneeskundig Tijdschrift, 2010 Seahorses have become an endangered species because of overfishing. Aquaculture could potentially compensate for this decline, but its effect is limited since most seahorses raised in captivity die at the age of 5 days. In this study the histological analysis of the alimentary tract of larvae aged 7 and 33 days is described, to help understand their ...

The Roles of the Kisspeptin System in the Reproductive Physiology of the Lined Seahorse (Hippocampus erectus), an Ovoviviparous Fish With Male Pregnancy [PDF]
Frontiers in Neuroscience, 2018 The kisspeptin/GPR54 system plays a crucial role in the regulation of the reproductive axis in vertebrates. Male pregnancy and ovoviviparity are special reproductive phenomena among vertebrates.
