Simple Summary The spotted scat, Scatophagus argus, is a marine aquaculture fish species that is economically important in Asia. As the spotted scat exhibits notable sexual dimorphism with respect to growth, aquaculture ...
Immune priming has now been demonstrated as a form of immune memory in a wide range of invertebrate species that lack acquired immune systems. Owing to the specific activation of innate immunity upon reinfection, immune ...
Phoenixin (Pnx) is an endogenous peptide known to be involved in reproduction and food intake in rats, with two active isoforms, phoenixin-14 (Pnx-14) and phoenixin-20 (Pnx-20). However, little is known about the functio...
Melanocortin-4 receptor (Mc4r) function related to reproduction in fish has not been extensively investigated. Here, we report on gene expression changes by real-time PCR following treatment with Mc4r agonists and antago...
