چکیده

Injections of bovine parathyroid hormone (PTH 1-34) and homogenates of corpuscles of Stannius produce hypocalcemia in male killifish and tilapia adapted to calcium-deficient seawater or fresh water, respectively. In fish from water with normal calcium concentrations no effects are noticeable. These results suggest similarity in bioactivity between PTH, the hypercalcemic hormone of terrestrial vertebrates, and the hypocalcemic factor of the corpuscules of Stannius in teleost fish.

Parathyroid hormone-like effects of rainbow trout Stannius products on bone resorption of embryonic mouse calvaria in vitro.

Products of the Stannius corpuscles (SC) of rainbow trout were tested in an established PTH bioassay involving bone resorption in embryonic mouse calvaria. Aqueous extracts from Stannius corpuscles (SC-homogenate) showed a bone-resorbing activity comparable to PTH in 24-h cultures of calvaria, indicated by a dose-dependent stimulation of lactate production and of calcium, phosphate as well as b...

Transcriptomic responses of corpuscle of Stannius gland of Japanese eels (Anguilla japonica) to Changes in Water Salinity

Physiological studies of a unique endocrine gland in fish, named corpuscles of Stannius (CS), described a Ca2(+)-regulatory function for this gland mediated by stanniocalcin-1, a hypocalcemic polypeptide hormone. However, to date, the endocrine functions of the glands have not been completely elucidated.We hypothesized that other unidentified active principles in the glands are involved in the ...

Calcitonin Functions Both as a Hypocalcemic Hormone and Stimulator of Steroid Production and Oocyte Maturation in Ovarian Follicles of Common Carp, Cyprinus carpio

Calcitonin (CT) is a calcium regulating hormone produced mainly by the parafollicular C cells of the thyroid gland in mammals. In lower vertebrates, these cells are concentrated primarily in a specialized gland, the ultimobranchial gland. The common structure of CT is 32-amino acid residues with a seven-residue cyclic loop formed by disulfide bond between cysteines at position 1 and 7 and proli...

Hypocalcin from Stannius corpuscles inhibits gill calcium uptake in trout.

Bidirectional whole body flux and branchial Ca2+ influx were measured in freshwater rainbow trout. Intra-arterial injections of homogenates of Stannius corpuscles (CS) as well as of a 54-kDa isolated product (hypocalcin) exerted an inhibitory effect on whole body Ca2+ influx, but did not effect Ca2+ efflux. Hypocalcin was more effective in reducing Ca2+ influx in trout acclimated to low-calcium...
