“…The processes of colour change are controlled by neuro-endocrine pathway or/and by cell itself. In both neural and hormonal regulation, the signals that trigger the reactions to generate efferent cues for the effector cells i.e., the chromatophores, either from the external environment or those from internal organs that do not influence the pigment cells directly, are processed in the CNS (Iwata and Fukuda, 1973;Fujii and Oshima, 1986;Baker, 1991;Fujii, 1993 andGulzar et al, 2014). The pigment can be either dispersed throughout the cell, which gives a dark appearance, or it can be aggregated around the nucleus, which gives a pale appearance (Bagnara and Hadley, 1973;Fujii, 2000 andAspengren et al, 2008).…”

“…The antiserum is equally sensitive to des-, mono-and diacetyl a-MSH. Cross-reac tivity of the a-MSH antiserum with MCH [preliminary results have been reported by De Koning et al (13)] and MCH (2)(3)(4)(5)(6)(7)(8)(9)(10)(11)(12)(13)(14)(15)(16)(17) was assessed (see the Results section).…”

“…In teleosts a neu rohormone, melanin-concentrating hormone (MCH), antagonizes a-MSH in this respect (5). As in other teleosts (4), in tilapia (Oreochromis mossambicus) MCH is synthesized in the hypo thalamus and transported to the pituitary pars nervosa (18). Also in higher vertebrates, MCH is produced in the hypothalamus (4), and it plays a role in the stress response, in osmoregulation, and in lactation (2).…”
