Knock-out of vasotocin reduces reproductive success in female zebrafish, Danio rerio [PDF]
Frontiers in Endocrinology, 2023 The vertebrate nonapeptide vasotocin/vasopressin is evolutionarily highly conserved and acts as neuromodulator and endocrine/paracrine signaling molecule.

Peripheral Administration of Hypertonic Saline Affects Nutrient Metabolism-related Gene Expression in Chicks [PDF]
The Journal of Poultry ScienceWhen facing dehydration, birds use body fat and proteins as a source of endogenous water. Recently, we found that osmotic stress triggered protein catabolism in skeletal muscles of chicks. In the present study, we investigated whether osmotic stress also

Characterization of an Aplysia vasotocin signaling system and actions of posttranslational modifications and individual residues of the ligand on receptor activity [PDF]
Frontiers in Pharmacology, 2023 The vasopressin/oxytocin signaling system is present in both protostomes and deuterostomes and plays various physiological roles. Although there were reports for both vasopressin-like peptides and receptors in mollusc Lymnaea and Octopus, no precursor or

The Role of Neurohypophysial Hormones in the Endocrine and Paracrine Control of Gametogenesis in Fish [PDF]
CellsArginine vasopressin (AVP) and oxytocin (OXT) are neuropeptides traditionally recognized for their roles in the control of osmoregulation, blood pressure, lactation, and parturition in mammals.

Acute administration of Manning compound during the spawning period reduces reproductive success in female zebrafish [PDF]
Frontiers in EndocrinologyIntroductionThe vertebrate nonapeptide vasotocin (Avp) is evolutionarily conserved and homologous to mammalian vasopressin. Previous work using avp-/- zebrafish demonstrated a role for Avp in female, but not male, zebrafish reproduction.

Exploring neuronal markers and early social environment influence in divergent quail lines selected for social motivation [PDF]
Scientific ReportsMany species, including humans exhibit a wide range of social behaviors that are crucial for the adaptation and survival of most species. Brain organization and function are shaped by genetic and environmental factors, although their precise ...
