“…Hepatic igf1 mRNAs were up-regulated by administration of either homologous or heterologous GH in many teleost fish (Duguay et al, 1996;Tse et al, 2002;Vong et al, 2003;Peterson et al, 2005;Chen et al, 2007;Ponce et al, 2008). Although the GH-dependent induction of igf2 was less documented, a significant up-regulation in mRNA levels was also found in liver and pyloric ceca (Shamblott et al, 1995) of Oncorhynchus mykiss, in liver of Ictalurus punctatus (Peterson et al, 2005) and Anguilla japonica (Moriyama et al, 2008), and in liver, gills, intestine, muscle, and kidneys of Cyprinus carpio (Tse et al, 2002;Vong et al, 2003).…”
