Gonadotropic hormone-releasing hormone (GnRH) bioactivity in the brain of the immature rainbow trout, Salmo gairdneri: the effect of testosterone. 1986

H J Goos, and R de Leeuw, and H Cook, and P G van Oordt

The effect of exogenous testosterone on the synthesis and release of a bioactive gonadotropic hormone-releasing hormone (GnRH)-like substance has been studied in juvenile male rainbow trout. Long-term testosterone treatment caused an increased gonadotropic hormone (GTH) release and precocious sexual maturity. Tel- and diencephalon extracts from long-term testosterone-treated juvenile rainbow trout showed significantly higher GTH-releasing activity than extracts from control animals when injected in short-term testosterone-pretreated juvenile rainbow trout. It was concluded that long-term testosterone treatment caused an increased synthesis and release of GnRH-like material.

D009132 Muscles Contractile tissue that produces movement in animals. Muscle Tissue,Muscle,Muscle Tissues,Tissue, Muscle,Tissues, Muscle
D010906 Pituitary Hormone-Releasing Hormones Peptides, natural or synthetic, that stimulate the release of PITUITARY HORMONES. They were first isolated from the extracts of the HYPOTHALAMUS; MEDIAN EMINENCE; PITUITARY STALK; and NEUROHYPOPHYSIS. In addition, some hypophysiotropic hormones control pituitary cell differentiation, cell proliferation, and hormone synthesis. Some can act on more than one pituitary hormone.

D000818 Animals Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA.

D012487 Salmonidae A family of anadromous fish comprising SALMON; TROUT; whitefish; and graylings. They are the most important food and game fishes. Their habitat is the northern Atlantic and Pacific, both marine and inland, and the Great Lakes. (Nelson: Fishes of the World, 1976, p97) Graylings,Thymallus,Whitefish,Salmonids,Grayling,Salmonid
D013687 Telencephalon The anterior subdivision of the embryonic PROSENCEPHALON or the corresponding part of the adult prosencephalon that includes the cerebrum and associated structures. Endbrain,Endbrains
D013739 Testosterone A potent androgenic steroid and major product secreted by the LEYDIG CELLS of the TESTIS. Its production is stimulated by LUTEINIZING HORMONE from the PITUITARY GLAND. In turn, testosterone exerts feedback control of the pituitary LH and FSH secretion. Depending on the tissues, testosterone can be further converted to DIHYDROTESTOSTERONE or ESTRADIOL. 17-beta-Hydroxy-4-Androsten-3-one,17-beta-Hydroxy-8 alpha-4-Androsten-3-one,8-Isotestosterone,AndroGel,Androderm,Andropatch,Androtop,Histerone,Sterotate,Sustanon,Testim,Testoderm,Testolin,Testopel,Testosterone Sulfate,17 beta Hydroxy 4 Androsten 3 one,17 beta Hydroxy 8 alpha 4 Androsten 3 one,8 Isotestosterone
