Characterization of gonadotropin receptors Fshr and Lhr in Japanese medaka, Oryzias latipes
Burow, Susann; Mizrahi, Naama; Maugars, Gersende Marie Aimee; von Krogh, Kristine; Nourizadeh-Lillabadi, Rasoul; Hollander-Cohen, Lian; Shpilman, Michal; Atre, Ishwar; Weltzien, Finn-Arne; Levavi-Sivan, Berta (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Reproduction in vertebrates is controlled by the brain-pituitary-gonad axis, where the two gonadotropins follicle-stimulating hormone (Fsh) and luteinizing hormone (Lh) play vital parts by activating their cognate receptors ... -
Effects of Melatonin on Anterior Pituitary Plasticity: A Comparison Between Mammals and Teleosts
Ciani, Elia; Haug, Trude M; Maugars, Gersende Marie Aimee; Weltzien, Finn-Arne; Falcón, Jack; Fontaine, Romain (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Melatonin is a key hormone involved in the photoperiodic signaling pathway. In both teleosts and mammals, melatonin produced in the pineal gland at night is released into the blood and cerebrospinal fluid, providing rhythmic ... -
Functional divergence of thyrotropin beta-subunit paralogs gives new insights into salmon smoltification metamorphosis
Fleming, Mitchell S.; Maugars, Gersende Marie Aimee; Lafont, Anne-Gaëlle; Rancon, Jocelyn; Fontaine, Romain; Nourizadeh-Lillabadi, Rasoul; Weltzien, Finn-Arne; Yebra-Pimente, Elena Santidrian; Dirks, Ron; McCormick, Stephen D.; Rousseau, Karine; Martin, Patrick; Dufour, Sylvie (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)Smoltification is a metamorphic event in salmon life history, which initiates downstream migration and pre-adapts juvenile salmon for seawater entry. While a number of reports concern thyroid hormones and smoltification, ... -
Gnrh receptor gnrhr2bbα is expressed exclusively in lhb-expressing cells in Atlantic salmon male parr
Ciani, Elia; Fontaine, Romain; Maugars, Gersende Marie Aimee; Rasoul, Nourizadeh-Lillabadi; Andersson, Eva; Bogerd, Jan; von Krogh, Kristine; Weltzien, Finn-Arne (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Gonadotropin-releasing hormone (Gnrh) plays a major role in the regulation of physiological and behavioural processes related to reproduction. In the pituitary, it stimulates gonadotropin synthesis and release via activation ... -
Melatonin receptors in Atlantic salmon stimulate cAMP levels in heterologous cell lines and show season‐dependent daily variations in pituitary expression levels
Ciani, Elia; Fontaine, Romain; Maugars, Gersende Marie Aimee; Naama, Mizrahi; Mayer, Ian; Levavi-Sivan, Berta; Weltzien, Finn-Arne (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)
