The brain-pituitary-gonadal axis (BPG-axis) plays an important role in gametogenesis in teleosts as well as in other vertebrates, according to data well established in the literature. On the other hand, the study of the ...

This review highlights the principal effects of steroid hormones at central and peripheral levels in the neuroendocrine axis. The data discussed highlight the principal role of oestrogens and testosterone in hormonal ...

Exposure to adverse environmental conditions can elicit a stress response, which results in an increase in endogenous corticosterone levels. In early life stages, it has been thoroughly demonstrated that amphibian larval ...

Glutamate exerts its effects through binding and activation of two classes of specific receptors: ionotropic (iGluRs) and metabotropic (mGluRs). Group I mGluR includes mGluR1 and mGluR5 subtypes, group II includes mGluR2 ...

The lateral preoptic area (LPO) is connected with limbic structures involved in physiological and behavioral responses to stress. Accordingly, exposure to stressors stimuli activates neurons within the LPO. In spite of ...

Frequently disrupted and restricted sleep is a common problem for many people in our modern around-the-clock society. in this context, it is an important question how sleep loss affects the stress systems in our bodies ...
