Differential expression of corticotropin-releasing factor (CRF) and urotensin I precursor genes, and evidence of CRF gene expression regulated by cortisol in goldfish brain.

Gen. Comp. Endocrinol. 116 , 461-477, (1999)

Corticotropin-releasing factor (CRF) and urotensin I (UI) precursor cDNAs were cloned and sequenced from a goldfish brain cDNA library in order to investigate the distribution of CRF and UI mRNAs in goldfish brain and the regulation of CRF and UI gene express...

Cardiovascular actions of centrally and peripherally administered trout urotensin-I in the trout.

Am. J. Physiol. Regul. Integr. Comp. Physiol. 279 , R484-R491, (2000)

The cardiovascular effects of centrally and peripherally administered synthetic trout urotensin (U)-I, a member of the corticotropin-releasing hormone family of neuroendocrine peptides, were investigated in unanesthetized rainbow trout Oncorhynchus mykiss. In...

Singular contributions of fish neuroendocrinology to mammalian regulatory peptide research.

Regul. Pept. 93 , 3-12, (2000)

During the past 20 years, several bioactive peptides have been identified in teleost fishes that subsequently have been shown to play important regulatory roles in mammalian physiology. The urophysis, corpuscles of Stannius and Brockmann body are anatomical s...
