Effects of cysteamine (CS) on growth hormone (GH) mRNA, two types of growth hormone receptor (GHR) mRNAs and growth rate in orange-spotted grouper (Epinephelus coioides) were investigated. CS could cause a modification in the structure of somatostatin, which is the most important neuroendocrine inhibitor of basal and stimulated growth hormone synthesis and release, and renders it nonimmunoreactive probably through interaction with the disulfide bonds. In the present study, cysteamine hydrochloride (CSH) enhanced the level of pituitary GH mRNA in a dose-dependent manner through attenuating or deleting the inhibiting action of somatostatin on GH mRNA expression. CSH at relatively low doses (from 1 to 3 mg/g diet) enhanced the levels of two types of GHR mRNAs in dose-dependent manner, whereas the stimulation induced by CSH declined from the peak at higher dose of CSH (4 mg/g diet). It might be attributed to the variation in GH-induced up-regulation of GHRs at different doses of GH. Feeding of CSH could induce remarkable enhancement of growth rate in orange-spotted grouper. In addition, the stimulatory effect of CSH could be potentiated by the additive effect of luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone analog (LHRH-A). Compared with individual treatments, combined feeding of CSH and LHRH-A caused more efficient elevation of growth rate after 8 weeks of feeding. CSH and LHRH-A individually and in combination remarkably increased the levels of GH and GHR mRNAs compared with the control. The combined administration of CSH and LHRH-A in diet was most effective to enhance the level of GH and GHR1 mRNA. The morphological characteristics of the experimental fish were evaluated. Compared with control, the ratios of muscle RNA/DNA, condition factors (CF) and feed conversion efficiency (FCE) were significantly enhanced in the treated groups, while the highest values were observed in the combined treatment. All the results suggested that CSH (1–3 mg/g diet) is an effective, economical and feasible feed additive in orange-spotted grouper culture. 相似文献

In vivo andin vitro techniques were used to examine the influence of various vertebrate peptides on growth hormone (GH) secretion in the goldfish.
Tetradecapeptide somatostatin (SRIF-14) was found to inhibit GH secretionin vitro from perifused pituitary fragments, whereas similar concentrations of a salmonid SRIF peptide (sSRIF-25) did not affect GH
secretion from the goldfish pituitary fragments. This indicates that SRIF receptors on the goldfish pituitary are very specific
for SRIF-14-like peptides. Salmon gonadotropin (GTH)-releasing hormone (sGnRH) was found to elevate serum GH levels in male
goldfish. The dopamine antagonist pimozide alone or injected in combination with sGnRH did not influence serum GH levels,
although injection of pimozide alone significantly elevated serum GTH levels, in addition to potentiating the effects of sGnRH
on GTH secretion. sGnRH stimulated GH secretion from goldfish pituitary fragmentsin vitro, indicating that sGnRH acts directly at the level of the pituitary to stimulate GH secretion in the goldfish. These results
suggest that GnRH may also function as a GH-releasing factor in the goldfish, although the release-inhibitory factors for
GH and GTH secretion do appear to be separate and distinct. Two human GH-releasing hormone (hGHRH) peptides were found to
be ineffective in altering GH secretionin vitro from the perifused pituitary fragments. Consequently, a role for a mammalian GHRH-like peptide in the hypothalamic regulation
of GH secretion in the goldfish remains questionable. 相似文献

Growth hormone (GH) secretion from organ-cultured pituitaries of the eel (Anguilla japonica) was studied during incubation in a defined medium for 2 weeks, using a homologous radioimmunoassay which does not distinguish
between the two molecular forms of eel GH. The total amount of GH secreted increased gradually during the incubation period;
so that the amount of GH released on day 14 was about 30 times greater than that on day 1. On day 14, the proportion of GH
released relative to the total amount of GH present (the sum of GH released into the medium and residual content in the pituitary)
was 96% and the amount produced on day 14 was 4 times greater than the content in the unincubated pituitary. Somatostatin
(SRIF, 1.8 × 10-7 M) inhibited the increase in GH release. On day 7, the proportion of GH released by pituitaries treated with SRIF (28%) was
less than that released by the control pituitary (91%). There was no significant difference in GH release between the pituitaries
incubated in isotonic medium (300 mOsm) and those in hypotonic medium (240 mOsm) for 2 weeks except for the first 3 days,
when the pituitaries in hypotonic medium secreted significantly greater amounts of GH than those incubated under isotonic
condition. Hypertonic medium (350 mOsm) had no effect on GH release except for significant inhibition on days 6 and 14. When
secretion of the two forms of GH (GH I and II) was examined after separation by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis followed
by densitometry, slightly more GH I tended to be secreted than GH II during the culture period, although the effects of SRIF
and osmolality of the media on GH I release were similar to those on GH II. It is concluded that GH secretion and production
in the eel is mainly under the inhibitory control of hypothalamus, and that osmolality has a minimum influence on the GH release. 相似文献

Studies in mammals have shown that synthetic Met-enkephalin derivatives, called growth hormone-releasing peptides (GHRPs), stimulate growth hormone (GH) release. In the present study, GHRP-6 action on GH secretion was examined in vivo and in vitro in sexually immature grass carp. GHRP-6 injected intraperitoneally had no influences on serum GH levels in juvenile grass carp. Following intraperitonal injection of GHRP-6 and dopamine (DA) or cysteamine hydrochloride (CSH), alone and in combination into juvenile grass carp, DA and CSH were effective in elevating serum GH levels, but GHRP-6 was not effective in this respect; in addition, the synergistic action of GHRP-6 and DA or CSH on GH secretion was not seen. In this work, we had adapted and validated a perifusion system and a culture system for GH regulation studies. In a perifusion system, GHRP-6 (1000 to 0.1 nM), GHRP-6 (0.1 to 1000 nM), GHRP-6 (1 μM), and Hexarelin (an analog of GHRP, 1 μM) had no action on GH release from juvenile grass carp pituitary fragments or cells. Under static incubation conditions, GHRP-6 was inactive on GH release from juvenile grass carp pituitary fragments after 1 h and 6 h incubation, but human growth hormone-releasing hormone (hGHRH; 1 to 100 nM) as positive control could stimulate GH release in a dose-dependent manner. Furthermore, when GHRP-6 (100 nM) in combination static incubation with neuropeptides [e.g., hGHRH (100 nM), salmon gonadotropin-releasing hormone analogue (sGnRH-A) (100 nM), or D-Ala6,Pro9-NEt-luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone (D-Ala6,Pro9-NEt-LHRH, LHRH-A) (100nM)], GHRP-6 did not strengthen GH secretion actions of neuropeptides, and at the same time neuropeptides also did not modify the effects of GHRP-6 on GH secretion. The present results obtained using in vivo and in vitro techniques adapted for GH regulation studies show that GHRP-6 does not function as a GH-releasing factor in juvenile grass carp as it does in tilapia, amphibians, chickens, and mammals. 相似文献

Profiles of plasma growth hormone (GH) in male tilapia hybrid (Oreochromis niloticus x O. aureus) were measured and compared at different times of the year. The profiles did not appear to be repetitive, however, differences in their nature were observed at the different seasons; the most erratic profiles were seen in the height of the reproductive season (July), while the peaks were more subdued in the spring and disappeared in the autumn. Peaks in male fish were more prominent than in the females when measured in July. Perifused pituitary fragments from fish with a high GSI responded to salmon gonadotropin-releasing hormone (sGnRH) analog (10 nM-1 M), while those from fish with a low GSI barely responded to even the highest dose. Exposure of perifused pituitary fragments from sexually-regressed fish to carp growth hormone-releasing hormone (cGHRH; 0.1 M) or sGnRH (I M) stimulated GH release only after injection of the fish with methyl testosterone (MT; 3 injections of 0.4 mg kg 1). The same MT pretreatment did not alter the response to dopamine (DA; 1 or 10 M). GH pituitary content in MT-treated fish was lower than in control fish, which may be explained by the higher circulating GH levels in these fish, but does not account for the increased response to the releasing hormones. Castration abolished the response of cultured pituitary cells to sGnRH (I fM-100 nM) without altering either their basal rate of secretion or circulating GH levels. Addition of steroids to the culture medium (MT or estradiol at 10 nM for 2 days) enabled a GH response to sGnRH stimulation in cells from sexually regressed fish. Pituitary cells which had not been exposed to steroids failed to respond to sGnRH, although their response to forskolin or TPA was similar to that of steroid-exposed cells. It would appear, therefore, that at least one of the effects of the sex steroids on the response to GnRH is exerted proximally to the formation of cAMP, or PKC, presumably at the level of the receptor. An increase in the number of receptors to the GH-releasing hormones, following steroid exposure, would explain also the changing nature of the GH secretory profile in different stages of the reproductive season. 相似文献

The regulatory effects of thyrotropin-releasing hormone on growth hormone secretion from the pituitary of common carp in vitro 总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1
The effects of thyrotropin-releasing hormone (TRH) on growth hormone (GH) and gonadotropin (GtH) release, and the influences
of somatostatin (SRIF), the dopamine agonist apomorphine (APO) and extracellular calcium on basal and TRH-induced GH release
were examined using an in vitro perifusion system for pituitary fragments of common carp (Cyprinus carpio). Five minute pulses of different dosages of TRH stimulated a rapid and dose-dependent increase in GH release from the perifused
pituitary fragments with an ED50 of 9.7 ± 2.3 nM. TRH was ineffective on GtH release. SRIF significantly inhibited basal and TRH-induced GH release from the
perifused pituitary fragments, and the effects of SRIF were dose-dependent. APO induced a dose-dependent increase in basal
and TRH-stimulated GH release from the perifused pituitary fragments. Increasing the concentrations of extracellular calcium
from 0 mM to 1.25 mM resulted in an increase in basal and TRH-induced GH release. The high dose of calcium (6.25 mM) caused
a slight decrease in basal and TRH-induced GH release compared with those at a concentration of 1.25 mM.
Résumé Les effets de la thyrotropine (TRH) sur la sécrétion d'hormone de croissance (GH) et de gonadotropine (GTH), et de la somatostatine (SRIF), de l'apomorphine (APO), antagoniste dopaminergique, et du calcium extracellulaire sur les sécrétions basale et stimulée de GH ont été étudiées in vitro par périfusion, de fragments d'hypophyses de carpe (Cyprinus carpio). Des applications de 5 minutes de TRH à différentes concentrations induisent une stimulation rapide et dose dépendante de la sécrétion de GH (ED50 = 9.7 ± 2.3 nM). Le TRH est sans effet sur la sécrétion de GTH. Le SRIF inhibe la sécrétion basale de GH ainsi que la résponse hypophysaire à l'action du TRH. Son action est dose dépendante. L'apomorphine induit une augmentation dose dépendante de la sécrétion basale de GH et potentialise l'action du TRH sur la stimulation de la sécrétion de GH. Des effets équivalents sont induits par des concentrations croissantes de calcium extra cellulaire de 0 à 1.2 mM, alors qu'à une concentration de 6.25 mM des effets opposés sont obtenus.相似文献

The full-length cDNA, encoding the orange-spotted grouper β-actin and spanning 1920 bp including a poly (A) tail, was cloned
from its brain cDNA library. The open reading frame encodes a protein of 375 amino acids. Sequence analysis indicated that
it contained the typical structural features of cytoplasmic actins, and showed higher homology with other vertebrate β-actin
than any other members of the actin family. The partial genomic sequence indicated that the organization of the β-actin gene
in the orange-spotted grouper might also be conserved. Northern blot analysis indicated that it was expressed at high levels
in the brain, spleen, adipose tissue, ovary, and liver, but at low levels in the gill filament and heart, and at a very low
level in the kidney. The expression of β-actin gene in the skeletal muscle was barely detectable. These results indicated
that the expression of the orange-spotted grouper β-actin gene showed significant variation in different tissues. Therefore,
caution should be taken when using β-actin gene as an internal control in the normalization of gene expression among tissues.
Whereas, semi-quantitative RT-PCR analysis indicated that treatment with 17α–methyltestosterone (MT) had little effect on
the mRNA expression of β-actin gene in the in vitro incubated hypothalamus, pituitary, and ovary fragments of the orange-spotted grouper, suggesting β-actin can be used as an
internal control for RT-PCR analysis of MT effects on gene expression in these tissues. 相似文献

Growth hormone (GH) has recently been identified as co-gonadotropin regulating fish reproduction, hitherto, no effort has
been made to see its effect on oocyte maturation in fishes, though some reports demonstrate the role of insulin like growth
factor-I (IGF-I) in oocyte maturation in teleosts. Hence, effect of GH on oocyte maturation in post-vitellogenic H. fossilis has been worked out in the present study. Post-vitellogenic follicles in the ovarian tissue were challenged in vitro with H. fossilis pituitary homogenate (fPH), Clarias batrachus GH and GtH, barramundi IGF-I (IGF-I), 17α, 20β-dihydroxy-4-pregnen-3-one (DHP) and testosterone alone, or in combination with IGF-I for 18 h at 26±1°C. Incubation of ovarian
tissue with GH in the presence of actinomycin d or cycloheximide or barramundi IGF-I antiserum was also made separately. In general, oocyte maturation was induced by fPH,
barramundi IGF-I, GtH, GH and DHP, which was augmented further by addition of barramundi IGF-I. Testosterone had no effect
on GVBD. Actinomycin d, cycloheximide and anti barramundi IGF-I abolished the GH induced oocyte maturation. Present study suggests for the first
time that GH has a role in egg maturation in fish. 相似文献

In this study, the direct actions of serotonin (5HT) on gonadotropin (GTH)-II and growth hormone (GH) release in the goldfish were tested at the pituitary cell level. 5HT (10 nM - 10 µM) stimulated GTH-II but inhibited GH release from perifused goldfish pituitary cells in a dose-dependent manner. The minimal effective dose of 5HT tested to suppress basal GH secretion (10 nM) was 10-fold lower than that to stimulate GTH-II release (100 nM). The GTH-II releasing effect of 5HT was abolished by repeated 5HT treatment (10 µM) whereas the corresponding inhibition on GH release was unaffected. These results suggest that 5HT receptors on goldfish gonadotrophs and somatotrophs exhibit intrinsic differences in terms of sensitivity to stimulation and resistance to desensitization. Salmon GTH-releasing hormone (sGnRH, 100 nM) stimulated GTH-II and GH release from goldfish pituitary cells. The GTH-II releasing action of sGnRH was unaffected by simultaneous treatment of 5HT (1 µM). However, the corresponding GH response to sGnRH (100 nM) was inhibited. In the goldfish, dopamine is known to stimulate GH release through activation of pituitary D1 receptors. In the present study, the GH-releasing action of dopamine (1 µM) and the D1 agonist SKF38393 (1 µM) was significantly reduced by 5HT (1 µM). To examine the receptor specificity of 5HT action, the effects of 5HT1 and 5HT2 analogs on GTH-II and GH release were tested in goldfish pituitary cells. The 5HT1 agonist 8OH DPAT (0.1 and 1µM) and 5HT2 agonist methyl 5HT (0.1 1µM) mimicked the GTH-II releasing effect of 5HT. The 5HT1 agonist 8OH DPAT (0.1 and 1µM) also stimulated GH release but the 5HT2 agonist methyl 5HT (0.1 and 1µM) was inhibitory to basal GH secretion. In addition, 5HT (1µM) -stimulated GTH-II release was abolished by the 5HT1 antagonist methiothepin (10µM) and 5HT2 antagonist mianserin (10µM). Similarly, the inhibitory action of 5HT (1µM) on basal GH release was blocked by the 5HT2 antagonist mianserin (10µM). The 5HT1 antagonist methiothepin (10µM) was not effective in this regard. These results, taken together, indicate that 5HT exerts its regulatory actions on GTH-II and GH release in the goldfish directly at the pituitary cell level, probably through interactions with other regulators including sGnRH and dopamine. The GTH-II releasing action of 5HT is mediated through 5HT2 and possibly 5HT1 receptors. The inhibition of 5HT on basal GH release is mediated through 5HT2 receptors only. Apparently, 5HT1 receptors are not involved in this inhibitory action. In this study, a paradoxical stimulatory component of 5HT on GH release by activating 5HT1 receptors is also implicated. 相似文献

Growth hormone (GH) is an essential polypeptide required for the normal growth and development of vertebrates. We have studied
the effects of light-emitting diodes (LEDs) emitting different spectra (red, green, and blue) on the GH of yellowtail clownfish
Amphiprion clarkii. Full-length GH cDNA from the pituitary of the yellowtail clownfish was first cloned and then the expression of GH mRNA under
different light spectra was measured. GH mRNA expression was significantly higher under green and blue light than under red
light spectra. These results indicate that in yellowtail clownfish, short-wavelength LED enhances growth more than long-wavelength
LED, and that LED lights are more effective for enhancing growth than white fluorescent bulbs. Injection of melatonin resulted
in significantly higher expression levels of GH mRNA compared to the control. We therefore conclude that green and blue light
enhance GH levels and that melatonin plays a role in modulating growth of the yellowtail clownfish. 相似文献

大口黑鲈生长激素促分泌素cDNA结构和早期发育阶段表达谱分析 总被引：2，自引：0，他引：2
研究采用RT-PCR、RACE和PCR技术从大口黑鲈胃组织中克隆得到ghrelin基因的cDNA。该基因全长434bp,其中开放阅读框(open reading frame,ORF)321bp,编码107个氨基酸的前肽,20个氨基酸的成熟肽位于第27位到第46位氨基酸处。前肽和成熟肽的氨基酸与已报导的舌齿鲈进行同源性分析,相似性分别为85%和90%。为进一步了解ghrelin基因在鱼体早期发育阶段的表达,本实验采用实时定量PCR(real-time PCR)方法检测了ghrelin基因在大口黑鲈胚胎和仔鱼发育过程的表达谱。结果显示,ghrelin基因在受精卵时期就有少量表达,但直到体节出现之前表达量均较低。出膜第4天ghrelin基因出现大量表达,第12天ghrelin基因表达量更显著增加,出膜第4天和第12天的表达量分别是受精卵时期表达量的206.77倍和531.20倍。出膜第4天正是大口黑鲈仔鱼开口觅食期,仔鱼消化系统初步发育成型,由完全利用卵黄囊营养转为从外界觅食阶段,到出膜第12天,仔鱼消化系统已发育完善,完全依靠外界营养提供能量,由ghrelin基因的表达量变化可推测其可能参与了鱼类早期发育阶段的摄... 相似文献

In vivo and in vitro approaches have been used to examine the role of dopamine (DA) as a growth hormone (GH)-releasing factor in the goldfish. DA stimulated GH release from perifused pituitary fragments of goldfish in a dose-dependent manner. The GH-releasing effect of DA was seasonal, being the highest in sexually regressed fish, intermediate in recrudescent fish, and the lowest in sexually mature (prespawning) fish. The GH response to DA was blocked by the D1 antagonist (+)SCH23390, confirming the involvement of D1 receptors in DA-stimulated GH release. In studies using static incubation of pituitary cells, somatostatin, a known physiological GH-release inhibitor in the goldfish, abolished the GH response to DA. Intraperitoneal injection of apomorphine, a non-selective DA agonist, also increased the plasma GH levels and enhanced the linear body growth of goldfish. These results strongly suggest that DA, by acting through DA D1 receptors, functions as a GH-releasing factor in the goldfish. 相似文献

The glutamate agonist, N-methyl-D,L-aspartate (NMA) stimulates the secretion of growth hormone (GH) from pituitary fragments
in vitro and increases plasma GH levels in vivo in rainbow trout, Oncorhynchus mykiss (Flett et al. 1994; Holloway and Leatherland
1997a,b); however gonadal steroid hormones appear to modulate this response in experimental situations. This study examines
whether steroid hormones also modulate the GH-regulatory actions of NMA during the normal reproductive cycle of rainbow trout
by examining the relationship between the stage of sexual maturation and the pituitary release of GH in vitro in response
to an NMA (10-8 M) challenge. NMA had no effect on mean GH release from the pituitary glands of fish that were immature (GSI <1.0), from
males during early development (GSI 1.0-3.0), or from sexually mature males (with free running milt) and females (ovulated).
However, NMA significantly increased GH release from pituitary glands taken from females during the early stages of gonadal
growth (GSI 1.0-9.0) and from males and females sampled during the later stages of gonadal growth (males GSI 3.01-6.0; females
GSI 9.01-15.0). The GH-stimulatory action of NMA in males and females progressed to a maximum effect during the late stages
of gonadal growth, and disappeared in ovulated females and free running males. Moreover, in female fish, the maximal GH release
in response to the NMA challenge is positively correlated with plasma 17β-estradiol levels; no such correlation was evident
for plasma testosterone levels in males. Changes in the GH response to NMA during maturation while gonadal steroid levels
fluctuate provides further evidence to suggest that the effects of NMA on GH secretion are intimately linked to endogenous
gonadal steroid hormone levels.

This study was conducted to evaluate the effects of dietary thiamin on the physiological status of the juvenile grouper, Epinephelus coioides. Graded levels of thiamin (0.08, 0.50, 2.12, 3.15, 4.63, 12.37 mg thiamin kg−1 diet) were fed to grouper juveniles (mean weight: 16.97 ± 0.14 g) for 10 weeks. Although fish fed the thiamin-deficient (TD)
diet showed no obvious symptoms of thiamin deficiency or increased mortality, those fed the lowest doses of thiamin (0.08
and 0.50 mg thiamin kg−1 diet) had significantly decreased transketolase activity in the liver. In addition, the level of liver thiobarbituric acid
reactive substances in fish fed the TD diet was 33–67% higher than that in fish with the thiamin-supplemented diet. There
were no significant differences in superoxide dismutase activity between the different groups of fish. 相似文献

Ghrelin, a non-amidated peptide hormone, is a potent anorectic neuropeptide implicated in feeding regulation in mammals and non-mammalian vertebrates. However, the involvement of ghrelin in the feeding behavior of teleosts has not been well understood. To better understand the role of ghrelin in the regulation of appetite in fish, in this study, we cloned the cDNAs encoding ghrelin and investigated their mRNA distributions in gibel carp tissues. We also assessed the effects of different nutritional status on ghrelin mRNA abundance. Ghrelin mRNAs were ubiquitously expressed in ten tissues (intestine, liver, brain, mesonephron, head kidney, spleen, skin, heart, muscle, gill and pituitary gland), and relatively high expression levels were detected in the gut. Postprandial studies analysis revealed a significant postprandial decrease in ghrelin mRNA expression in the gut (1 and 3 h after the regular feeding time). In addition, ghrelin mRNA expression in the gut significantly increased at day 7 after fasting and declined sharply after refeeding, which suggested that ghrelin might be involved in the regulation of appetite in gibel carp. Overall, our result provides basis for further investigation into the regulation of feeding in gibel carp. 相似文献

为探讨饲料牛磺酸含量对斜带石斑鱼幼鱼生长性能、体成分、TauT mRNA表达量及牛磺酸合成关键酶(CSD和CDO)活性的影响,实验在以酪蛋白和明胶为蛋白源的基础饲料(0DT)中分别添加0.5%(0.5DT)、1.0%(1.0DT)、1.5%(1.5DT)的牛磺酸,配制成4种不同牛磺酸含量的饲料。将平均体质量为(13.85±0.25) g的320尾斜带石斑鱼幼鱼随机分为4组,每组4个循环水族箱,每箱放养20尾鱼,每组分别投喂一种相同实验饲料,每天定时投喂实验饲料至表观饱食状态,实验为期84 d。结果显示,在0DT饲料中补充外源牛磺酸能显著提高饲料效率、摄食率、增重率和全鱼粗蛋白含量,而显著降低肝体比和全鱼粗脂肪含量。组织中肝脏、肌肉、肠道TauT mRNA表达量在1.0DT组时达到最大值,且显著高于其他各组,当饲料牛磺酸含量继续增加至1.5DT组时明显降低,但仍显著高于0DT和1.0DT组。斜带石斑鱼幼鱼血浆、肝脏、肠道和肌肉中牛磺酸含量与饲料牛磺酸含量之间呈正相关。饲料中补充外源牛磺酸能够显著降低肝脏、肌肉中CSD活性,同时降低血浆、肝脏、肠道和肌肉中CDO活性,但对血浆CSD活性无显著影响。研究表明,饲料中补充外源牛磺酸能够明显促进斜带石斑鱼幼鱼生长,增加鱼体蛋白沉积,同时降低鱼体脂肪沉积,上调组织中TauT mRNA表达水平及提高牛磺酸蓄积,降低牛磺酸合成关键酶活性。研究表明,以增重率为目标,通过二次多项式回归分析,饲料中牛磺酸的适宜含量为0.92%。 相似文献

Acidified seawater suppresses insulin‐like growth factor I mRNA expression and reduces growth rate of juvenile orange‐spotted groupers,Epinephelus coioides (Hamilton, 1822) 
下载免费PDF全文
下载免费PDF全文 Ocean acidification, resulted from high level of carbon dioxide (CO2) dissolved in seawater, may disturb the physiology of fish in many ways. However, it is unclear how acidification may impact the growth rate and/or growth hormones of marine fish. In this study, we exposed juvenile orange‐spotted groupers (Epinephelus coioides) to seawater of different levels of acidification: a condition predicted by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (pH 7.8–8.0), and a more extreme condition (pH 7.4–7.6) that may occur in coastal waters in the near future. After 6 weeks of exposure, the growth rates of fish in pH 7.4–7.6 were less than those raised in control water (pH 8.1–8.3). Furthermore, exposure at pH 7.4–7.6 increased blood pCO2 and HCO3? significantly; exposure at pH 7.8–8.0, meanwhile, did not affect acid–base chemistry. Moreover, exposure to pH 7.4–7.6 resulted in lower levels of hepatic igf1 (insulin‐like growth factor I) mRNA, but did not affect levels of pituitary gh (growth hormone) or hypothalamus psst2 and psst3 (prepro‐somatostatin II and III). The results show that highly acidified seawater suppresses growth of juvenile grouper, which may be a consequence of reduced levels of IGF‐1, but not due to diminished growth hormone release. 相似文献
