Ligand binding and signalling pathways of PTH receptors in sea bream (Sparus auratus) enterocytes
Whole animal studies have indicated that Ca2+ uptake by the gastrointestinal tract is regulated by the action of parathyroid hormone-related peptide (PTHrP) in teleost fish. We have characterised PTH receptors (P...

A drop in ambient temperature results in a transient reduction of interrenal ACTH responsiveness in the gilthead sea bream (Sparus aurata, L.)
This study investigated the effects of a drop in water temperature (18 °C to 9 °C in 24 h) on the pituitary and interrenal hormones of the gilthead sea bream Sparus aurata. The in vitro sensitivity of the interre...

Inhibition of HPI axis response to stress in gilthead sea bream (Sparus aurata) with physiological plasma levels of cortisol
This study investigates the effect of corticosteroid (cortisol) administration on the stress response of the gilthead sea bream Sparus aurata subjected to a 48 h confinement. The effect of (in-vitro and in-vivo )...

Modulation of the response of rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss Walbaum) to confinement, by an ectoparasitic (Argulus foliaceus L.) infestation and cortisol feeding
The effects of a 21 day infestation with the ectoparasite Argulus foliaceus on the response of rainbow trout Oncorhynchus mykiss to an acute stressor (confinement) were investigated. Fish were divided into a c...
