In vivo evidence for Urotensin II as a regulator of reproduction in GIFT tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus).
Urotensin II (UII) is a conserved vasoactive neuropeptide secreted by the caudal neurosecretory system (CNSS) of bony fish, yet its reproductive functions in teleost remain poorly defined. Here, we investigated the regulatory role of UII in the brain-pituitary-gonadal (BPG) axis of genetically improved farmed tilapia (...
