Neuropeptides modulate many aspects of behavior and physiology in a broad range of animals. Arginine vasotocin (AVT) is implicated in mediating social behavior in teleost fish, although its specific role varies between species, sexes, life stages, and social context. To investigate whether the effects of AVT on behavior depend on social context, we used the African cichlid fish Astatotilapia bu...

Many neuropeptide systems subserving sex-typical behavior are dependent on sex steroids for both their organization early in life and activation during maturity. The arginine vasopressin/vasotocin (AVP/AVT) system is strongly androgen dependent in many species and critically mediates responses to sociosexual stimuli. The bluehead wrasse is a teleost fish that exhibits a female-to-male sex chang...

This paper presents an overview of the ALST project, in which speech technologies (speech recognition and speech synthesis) and machine translation were implemented in the voice-over of non-fictional genres and in the audio description of films. The paper presents the project rationale, a brief description of the experiments carried out within the project, as well as its main findings.

An experiment on the “Performance of Bottle Gourd Genotypes i.e. (AVT-II/2019/BOGVAR-1, AVT-II/2019/BOGVAR-2, AVT-II/2019/BOGVAR-3, AVT-II/2019/BOGVA-4, AVT-II/2019/BOGVA-5, AVT-II/2019/BOGVAR-6 RITURAJ (CHECK), GREENINDIA NATIONAL AGRO SHANKAR (CHECK) for yield and quality under climatic conditions prayagraj” was conducted during February to May, 2022, in field Horticulture Research Farm, Depa...

The expansion of digital television and the increasing demand to manipulate audiovisual content underlie the need for tools and systems that will automate the multilingual subtitle generation process. In this setting the MUSA project aims at providing a system which combines speech recognition, advanced text analysis, and machine translation to help generate multilingual subtitles. In its curre...

Gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) and arginine vasotocin (AVT) are critical regulators of reproductive behaviors that exhibit tremendous plasticity, but co-variation in discrete GnRH and AVT neuron populations among sex and season are only partially described in fishes. We used immunocytochemistry to examine sexual and temporal variations in neuron number and size in three GnRH and AVT cell...

Bicego-Nahas, K. C., A. A. Steiner, E. C. Carnio, J. Antunes-Rodrigues, and L. G. S. Branco. Antipyretic effect of arginine vasotocin in toads. Am J Physiol Regulatory Integrative Comp Physiol 278: R1408–R1414, 2000.—Arginine vasotocin (AVT) is a nonmammalian analog of the mammalian hormone arginine vasopressin (AVP). These peptides are known for their antidiuretic and pressor effects. More rec...

The aim of the present study was to examine the role of nutritional status, the metabolic hormone ghrelin and their interrelationships in the control of chicken hormones involved in the regulation of reproduction. For this purpose, we identified the effect of food deprivation, administration of ghrelin 1-18 and their combination on plasma levels of testosterone (T), estradiol (E), arginine-vaso...

Nonapeptides play a fundamental role in the regulation of social behavior, among numerous other functions. In particular, arginine vasopressin and its non-mammalian homolog, arginine vasotocin (AVT), have been implicated in regulating affiliative, reproductive, and aggressive behavior in many vertebrate species. Where these nonapeptides are synthesized in the brain has been studied extensively ...
