Neuroendocrinology of sexual plasticity in teleost fishes.
The study of sex differences has produced major insights into the organization of animal phenotypes and the regulatory mechanisms generating phenotypic variation from similar genetic templates. Teleost fishes display the greatest diversity of sexual expression among vertebrate animals. This diversity appears to arise from diversity in the timing of sex determination and less functional interdep...
متن کاملNeuroendocrinology of reproduction in teleost fish.
This review aims at synthesizing the most relevant information regarding the neuroendocrine circuits controlling reproduction, mainly gonadotropin release, in teleost fish. In teleosts, the pituitary receives a more or less direct innervation by neurons sending projections to the vicinity of the pituitary gonadotrophs. Among the neurotransmitters and neuropeptides released by these nerve ending...
متن کاملTeleost Fishes
The ulstrastructure of the saccular and lagenar maculae were studied in 15 species of teleost fishes, using the scanning electron microscope. Particular attention was paid to hair cell orientation patterns, composition of the ciliary bundles on the hair cells, hair cell distributions, and supporting cell types. The hair cells on both otolithic organs are divided into several groups with all of ...
متن کاملSocial and neural modulation of sexual plasticity in teleost fish.
Teleost fishes are the 'champions' of sexual plasticity among vertebrates. Several species have two male reproductive morphs with distinct suites of behavioral, somatic, neuronal, endocrinological, and life history traits. Here, we consider recent studies of the social and neural modulation of sexual plasticity for such species with a focus on two neuropeptides, gonadotropin releasing hormone (...
متن کاملClaudins in teleost fishes
Teleost fishes are a large and diverse animal group that represent close to 50% of all described vertebrate species. This review consolidates what is known about the claudin (Cldn) family of tight junction (TJ) proteins in teleosts. Cldns are transmembrane proteins of the vertebrate epithelial/endothelial TJ complex that largely determine TJ permeability. Cldns achieve this by expressing barrie...
