Somatostatin signalling coordinates energy metabolism allocation to reproduction in zebrafish
29 Jul 2024
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Energy allocation between growth and reproduction determines puberty onset and fertility. In mammals, peripheral hormones such as leptin, insulin and ghrelin signal metabolic information to the higher centres controlling gonadotrophin-releasing hormone neurone activity. However, these observations could not be confirmed in lower vertebrates, suggesting that other factors may mediate the energetic...
