Neurolin is a member of the superfamily of immunoglobulin-like cell surface receptors. It is essential during neuronal development in the model organism Carassius auratus (goldfish) and involved in the guidance of the growing axon. Among the five extracellular immunoglobulin (Ig) domains, the second Ig domain is crucial for axon pathfinding. In the present study, we report the NMR assignment an...

Goldfish (Carassius auratus, var. japonicus, subvar. bicaudatus) respond to the administration of thyrotrophic hormone with exophthalmos. Eye protrusion increases with simultaneous injections of corticotrophin. Retrobulbar injections of normal saline, human serum or pituitary hormones produce a transient exophthalmos, which is much more persistent when thyrotrophin is injected. Previous treatme...

Histochemical and ultrastructural studies of gonads from goldfish Carassius auratus and several species of salmon (genus Oncorhynchus) indicate that the Leydig or interstitial cells of the testis and special cells of the theca interna of the ovary are the major sources of gonadal steroids. Lobule boundary cells are considered homologous with the Sertoli cells of the testis and the granulosa cel...

Evidence of latent inhibition was sought in a series of experiments with goldfish. In Experiment 1, goldfish were given nonreinforced preexposure to a color that subsequently predicted shock in an activity conditioning situation; their performance did not differ from that of control animals preexposed to a markedly different color. In Experiment 2, a group of goldfish given nonreinforced preexp...

this study was carried out to investigate the interaction of simultaneous use of fluoxetine (flx), a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor, and diclofenac (dcf), a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug, on food intake in goldfish, carassius auratus . treatments with different dosage of flx including control, 0, 1, and 10  µg/g body weight (bw) were injected in the fish with mean weight of 30.16 ±...

Thin-section studies of the sino-auricular border region in the hearts of 20 species of teleost fish revealed the cardiac internuncial cell (CIC), hitherto known only in Misgurnus, to occur also in 8 species (Acheilognathus lanceolatus, Carassius auratus longsdorffii, Cyprinus carpio, Girella punctata, Kareius bicoloratus, Rhodeus ocellatus ocellatus, Rhyncopelates oxyrhynchus, Tilapia nilotica...
