Molecular Regulation of Gonadotropin Secretion by Gonadotropin Releasing Hormone in Salmonid Fishes
1 Apr 2005
Abstract excerpt
Gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) plays a central role in the control of reproductive function in vertebrates. In salmonids, salmon GnRH (sGnRH) secreted by preoptic GnRH neurons regulates gonadal maturation through stimulation of synthesis and release of pituitary gonadotropins (GTHs). In addition, several lines of our evidence indicate that sGnRH is involved in spawning behavior, and serves to integrate the...
