Pulsed expression of growth hormone mRNA in the pituitary of juvenile Pacific bluefin tuna under aquacultured conditions
2008-09-01
Abstract excerpt
The daily expression profile of growth hormone (GH) mRNA in juvenile Pacific bluefin tuna (Thunnus orientalis) was investigated under aquacultured conditions. Total RNA from pituitaries (n =5) was sampled from 10 am to 12 pm the next day at 1 h intervals. The expression levels of GH mRNA were evaluated using real-time PCR normalized against the β-actin gene. The expression level of GH transcripts reached a peak at...
