Insulin-like growth factor-1 (Igf1) signaling responses to food consumption after fasting in the Pacific rockfish Sebastes carnatus
17 May 2023
Abstract excerpt
Fish adjust rates of somatic growth in the face of changing food consumption. As in other vertebrates, growth in fish is regulated by the growth hormone (Gh)/insulin-like growth factor-1 (Igf1) endocrine axis, and changes in food intake impact growth via alterations to Gh/Igf1 signaling. Understanding the time course by which the Gh/Igf1 axis responds to food consumption is crucial to predict how rapidly changes...
