Overcompensation of circulating and local insulin-like growth factor-1 during catch-up growth in hybrid striped bass (Morone chrysops Chi Morone saxatilis) following temperature and feeding manipulations

AQUACULTURE, 428, 174–183.

By: M. Picha n, P. Biga *, N. Galt *, A. McGinty n, K. Gross n, V. Hedgpeth n, T. Siopes n, R. Borski n

author keywords: Hybrid striped bass; Compensatory growth; Catch-up growth; Insulin-like growth factor; Growth hormone receptor; Myostatin
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that a previous period of feed restriction and cold-acclimation followed by realimentation at more favorable water temperatures produces a strong CG response and catch-up growth in fish. (via Semantic Scholar)

GENERAL AND COMPARATIVE ENDOCRINOLOGY, 178(1), 98–107.

By: E. Won n, D. Baltzegar n, M. Picha n & R. Borski n

author keywords: Leptin; Phylogeny; Gene duplication; Perciform; Striped bass
MeSH headings : Animals; Bass / genetics; Bass / metabolism; Eating / drug effects; Leptin / genetics; Leptin / metabolism; Leptin / pharmacology
TL;DR: The results suggest that leptin may play a role in energy homeostasis in these advanced Perciformes, the largest and most diverse order of fish. (via Semantic Scholar)

2010 journal article

Ontogenesis of Gonadal Aromatase Gene Expression in Atlantic Silverside (Menidia menidia) Populations With Genetic and Temperature-Dependent Sex Determination

JOURNAL OF EXPERIMENTAL ZOOLOGY PART A-ECOLOGICAL AND INTEGRATIVE PHYSIOLOGY, 313A(7), 421–431.

By: T. Duffy *, M. Picha n, E. Won n, R. Borski n, A. McElroy* & D. Conover *

MeSH headings : Animals; Aromatase / genetics; Aromatase / metabolism; Embryo, Nonmammalian / embryology; Embryo, Nonmammalian / physiology; Female; Gene Expression Regulation, Developmental; Gene Expression Regulation, Enzymologic; Gonads / embryology; Gonads / enzymology; Hermaphroditic Organisms; Hot Temperature; Male; Sex Determination Processes; Sex Differentiation; Smegmamorpha / embryology; Smegmamorpha / physiology
TL;DR: The hypothesis that P450arom is involved in female sex differentiation in this species, but is only responsive to temperature in M. menidia populations that exhibit TSD is supported. (via Semantic Scholar)

2009 journal article

Plasma ghrelin and growth hormone regulation in response to metabolic state in hybrid striped bass: Effects of feeding, ghrelin and insulin-like growth factor-I on in vivo and in vitro GH secretion

GENERAL AND COMPARATIVE ENDOCRINOLOGY, 161(3), 365–372.

By: M. Picha n, C. Strom n, L. Riley*, A. Walker*, E. Won n, W. Johnstone n, R. Borski n

author keywords: Hybrid striped bass; Teleost; Growth hormone regulation; Ghrelin; Insulin-like growth factor-I
MeSH headings : Animals; Bass / blood; Fasting / physiology; Female; Ghrelin / blood; Ghrelin / metabolism; Ghrelin / pharmacology; Growth Hormone / blood; Growth Hormone / metabolism; In Vitro Techniques; Insulin-Like Growth Factor I / pharmacology; Male; Pituitary Gland / drug effects; Pituitary Gland / metabolism
TL;DR: These studies are the first to show that seasonally-based periods of feed deprivation and low temperature yield sustained increases in GH secretion that are likely mediated, at least partially, through elevated ghrelin, reduced IGF-I negative feedback and fasting-induced spontaneous GH release.

Regulation of endocrine and paracrine sources of Igfs and Gh receptor during compensatory growth in hybrid striped bass (Morone chrysops X Morone saxatilis)

JOURNAL OF ENDOCRINOLOGY, 199(1), 81–94.

By: M. Picha n, M. Turano n, C. Tipsmark n & R. Borski n

MeSH headings : Animals; Bass / genetics; Bass / growth & development; Bass / metabolism; Blotting, Western; Body Weight; Insulin-Like Growth Factor Binding Proteins / genetics; Insulin-Like Growth Factor I / genetics; Insulin-Like Growth Factor II / genetics; Liver / metabolism; Muscle, Skeletal / metabolism; Polymerase Chain Reaction; Radioimmunoassay; Receptors, Somatomedin / genetics; Receptors, Somatotropin / genetics
TL;DR: The data suggest that endocrine and paracrine/autocrine components of the GH-Igf axis, namely igf1, igf2, and gHR1 and ghr2, may be involved in CG responses in HSB, with several of the gene expression variables exceeding normal levels during CG. (via Semantic Scholar)

2006 journal article

Discordant regulation of hepatic IGF-I mRNA and circulating IGF-I during compensatory growth in a teleost, the hybrid striped bass (Morone chrysops x Morone saxatilis)

GENERAL AND COMPARATIVE ENDOCRINOLOGY, 147(2), 196–205.

By: M. Picha n, J. Silverstein * & R. Borski n

author keywords: compensatory growth; IGF-I; hybrid striped bass; teleost; gene expression
MeSH headings : Animal Nutritional Physiological Phenomena; Animals; Bass / growth & development; Bass / metabolism; Diet; Diet, Reducing; Feeding Behavior; Gene Expression Regulation; Hyperphagia / metabolism; Insulin-Like Growth Factor I / genetics; Insulin-Like Growth Factor I / metabolism; Liver / metabolism; Liver / physiology; Organ Size; RNA, Messenger / metabolism
TL;DR: It is suggested that CG can be induced in HSB following a sufficient catabolic state and that systemic IGF-I may be an important mediator of the accelerated growth rate characteristic of CG. (via Semantic Scholar)

Insulin-like growth factor-I cDNA cloning, gene expression and potential use as a growth rate indicator in Nile tilapia, Oreochromis niloticus

AQUACULTURE, 251(2-4), 585–595.

By: E. Cruz *, C. Brown *, J. Luckenbach n, M. Picha n, R. Bolivar * & R. Borski n

author keywords: Oreochromis niloticus; growth; hepatic IGF-I; cDNA cloning; real time qRT-PCR
TL;DR: It is suggested that hepatic-derived IGF-I plays a key role in controlling growth in O. niloticus and indicates that IGF- I mRNA quantification could prove useful for the rapid assessment of growth rate in this species. (via Semantic Scholar)

Variable intake, compensatory growth, and increased growth efficiency in fish: Models and mechanisms

ECOLOGY, 86(6), 1452–1462.

By: G. Skalski n, M. Picha n, J. Gilliam n & R. Borski n

author keywords: bioenergetics; compensatory growth; energy budget model; experiment; hybrid striped bass
TL;DR: This analysis suggests that the lower cumulative maintenance costs incurred over a time interval with low consumption followed by high consumption act in association with higher assimilation and/or conversion efficiencies, and lower overall mass-specific maintenance costs to in- crease growth efficiency in hybrid striped bass.
