Neurohypophysial Hormones Regulate Amphibious Behaviour in the Mudskipper Goby
The neurohypophysial hormones, arginine vasotocin and isotocin, regulate both hydromineral balance and social behaviors in fish. In the amphibious mudskipper, Periophthalmus modestus, we previously found arginine-vasotocin-specific regulation of aggressive behavior, including migration of the submissive subordinate into water. This migration also implies the need for adaptation to dehydration. ...
متن کاملNeurohypophysial hormones.
THE ACTIONS OF ANTIDIURETIC hormone or vasopressin (AVP) to promote water retention and to acutely increase arterial pressure are well established. Oxytocin (OT) has well known effects on uterine contraction and milk ejection. In addition to these widely recognized hormonal actions, these peptides have additional behavioral, autonomic, renal, and cardiovascular effects, the physiological signif...
متن کاملAspects of the physiology of terrestrial life in amphibious fishes. III. The Chinese mudskipper Periophthalmus cantonensis.
The first paper of this series (Gordon et al. 1969) defined our usage of the phrase 'amphibious fishes', surveyed the literature on the physiology of terrestrial adaptations in those amphibious fishes lacking speciali2ed accessory respiratory organs, and presented data on aspects of related adaptations in the amphibious mudskipper fish, Periophthalmus sobrinus. The point was made in that paper ...
متن کاملMudskipper genomes provide insights into the terrestrial adaptation of amphibious fishes
Mudskippers are amphibious fishes that have developed morphological and physiological adaptations to match their unique lifestyles. Here we perform whole-genome sequencing of four representative mudskippers to elucidate the molecular mechanisms underlying these adaptations. We discover an expansion of innate immune system genes in the mudskippers that may provide defence against terrestrial pat...
متن کاملIdentification of neurohypophysial hormones with their antisera.
Identifying posterior pituitary hormones in body fluids or neurohypophysial extracts was heretofore partially achieved by using pharmacologic potency ratios or semispecific inactivation by thioglycolate or enzymes. Production of antisera against oxytocin and lysine-vasopressin has prompted us to test their specificity against lysine-vasopressin, arginine-vasopressin, arginine-vasotocin, and oxy...
