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.
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.

Tuberal hypothalamic expression of the glial intermediate filaments, glial fibrillary acidic protein and vimentin across the turkey hen (Meleagris gallopavo) reproductive cycle: Further evidence for a role of glial structural plasticity in seasonal reproduction
GENERAL AND COMPARATIVE ENDOCRINOLOGY, 193, 141–148.
author keywords: Meleagris gallopavo; GnRH; Glia; GFAP; Vimentin; Photoperiod
MeSH headings : Animals; Breeding; Female; Glial Fibrillary Acidic Protein / genetics; Glial Fibrillary Acidic Protein / metabolism; Hypothalamus / metabolism; Male; Photoperiod; Reproduction / genetics; Reproduction / physiology; Seasons; Turkeys / genetics; Turkeys / metabolism; Turkeys / physiology; Vimentin / metabolism
TL;DR:
It appears that up-regulation of GFAP expression in the central median eminence of turkey hens is associated with periods of reproductive quiescence and that photofractoriness isassociated with the lack of a glial cytoskeletal response to long days.

Initiating egg production in turkey breeder hens: Thyroid hormone involvement
POULTRY SCIENCE, 89(10), 2265–2272.
author keywords: photoperiod; photorefractoriness; turkey; egg production; sexual maturation
MeSH headings : Aging; Animals; Antithyroid Agents / pharmacology; Female; Oviposition / drug effects; Oviposition / physiology; Propylthiouracil / pharmacology; Sexual Maturation / physiology; Thyroid Hormones / metabolism; Turkeys / physiology
TL;DR:
Results demonstrate that a period of pharmacological suppression of triiodothyronine and thyroxine can substitute for short day exposure in conferring photosensitivity on juvenile-aged turkeys (and is actually superior to short day Exposure), and suggest that there is ample physiological potential to substantially advance the age of photoinduced egg production in commercial flocks.

Initiation of egg production by turkey breeder hens: Sexual maturation and age at lighting
POULTRY SCIENCE, 89(7), 1490–1496.

MeSH headings : Animal Husbandry / methods; Animals; Female; Least-Squares Analysis; Oviposition / physiology; Ovum / physiology; Photoperiod; Seasons; Sexual Maturation / physiology; Turkeys / physiology
TL;DR:
It is demonstrated that the conventional age at lighting of 29 to 30 wk of age can be significantly advanced and Appropriate pre-lay short day exposure is required to fully photosensitize juvenile hens for photoinduced egg production and this requires a development time beyond 16 wK of age.

author keywords: photoperiod; photorefractoriness; turkey; egg production; season
MeSH headings : Animals; Female; Oviposition / physiology; Photoperiod; Time Factors; Turkeys / metabolism

Photostimulated expression of type 2 iodothyronine deiodinase mRNA is greatly attenuated in the rostral tuberal Hypothalamus of the photorefractory turkey hen
Journal of Neuroendocrinology, 20(11), 1260–1269.
MeSH headings : Animals; Circadian Rhythm / physiology; Female; Glial Fibrillary Acidic Protein / genetics; Glial Fibrillary Acidic Protein / metabolism; Hypothalamus / cytology; Hypothalamus / enzymology; In Situ Hybridization; Iodide Peroxidase / genetics; Iodide Peroxidase / metabolism; Light; Photoperiod; Proto-Oncogene Proteins c-fos / genetics; Proto-Oncogene Proteins c-fos / metabolism; RNA, Messenger / metabolism; Turkeys / anatomy & histology; Turkeys / metabolism
TL;DR:
The temporal and spatial coincidence between FRA and Dio2 expression, their mutual association with glia, and the attenuation of their response during photorefractoriness suggests that the two events are linked and that photoreFractoriness involves a reduced capacity for photo‐inducible gene expression within glia of the tuberal hypothalamus.

Multiple instances in which enkephalinergic neuronal elements appeared to contact cGnRH I perikarya and axons in and around the diagonal band of Broca, the bed nucleus of the pallial commissure and in the lateral septal nucleus appear to provide a neuroanatomic basis for how enkePHalinergic innervation might influence gonadotropin secretion in turkey hens by directly regulating activity of cGNRH I neurons.
