The Effects ofN-Methyl-d,l-aspartate and Gonadotropin-Releasing Hormone onin VitroGrowth Hormone Release in Steroid-Primed Immature Rainbow Trout,Oncorhynchus mykiss
Abstract
In the present study we investigated the effects of 17 beta-estradiol (E2) and 5 alpha-dihydrotestosterone (5 alpha DHT) on the ability of the glutamate agonist, N-methyl-D,L-aspartate (NMA), to stimulate growth hormone (GH) release from perifused pituitary glands of sexually immature rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss). Two weeks after steroid hormone implantation, pituitary glands were removed from the fish and challenged with NMA (10(-8) M) …
