Hyperandrogenism in POMCa-deficient zebrafish enhances somatic growth without increasing adiposity
20 Jun 2019
Abstract excerpt
The endocrine regulatory roles of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenocortical axis on anxiety-like behavior and metabolic status have been found throughout animal taxa. However, the precise effects of the balancing adrenal corticosteroid biosynthesis under the influence of adrenocorticotrophic hormone (ACTH), a pro-opiomelanocortin (POMC)-derived peptide, on animal energy expenditure and somatic growth remain...
