Influence of cortisol, growth hormone, insulin-like growth factor I and 3,3′,5-triiodo-l-thyronine on hypoosmoregulatory ability in the euryhaline teleost Fundulus heteroclitus
The capacity of cortisol, ovine growth hormone (oGH), recombinant bovine insulin-like growth factor I (rbIGF-I) and 3,3′,5-triiodo-l-thyronine (T3) to increase hypoosmoregulatory capacity in the euryhaline teleos...

Development of melanin-concentrating hormone-immunoreactive elements in the brain of gilthead seabream (Sparus auratus)
The development of the hypothalamic melanin-concentrating hormone (MCH) system of the teleost Sparus auratus has been studied by immunocytochemistry using an anti-salmon MCH serum. Immunoreactive perikarya and fi...

Presence of an oxytocin-like peptide in the hypothalamus and neurohypophysis of a turtle (Mauremys caspica) and a snake (Natrix maura)
The probable presence of oxytocin in the hypothalamo-hypophysial system of two reptilian species, the snake Natrix maura and the turtle Mauremys caspica, was re-investigated. A high-pressure liquid chromatographi...
