The effect of somatostatins (SRIF‐14, 25 and 28), galanin and anti‐SRIF on plasma growth hormone levels in Coho salmon (Oncorhynchus kisutch, Walbaum)

Abstract: Porcine galanin, somatostatins (SRIF-25 and SRIF-28) and invariant SRIF-14, known to have inhibitory-stimulatory actions on growth hormone (GH) secretion in higher vertebrates, were tested for their ability to affect plasma GH levels in coho salmon. Peptides were administered by intraperitoneal injection of 10 or 100 ng g-' body weight. All three SRIFs decreased plasma GH concentrations, their activity following the order SRIF-14 > SRIF-28 > SRIF-25. Galanin and an anti-SRIF produced pronounced, although trans… Show more

“…Diez et al (1992) demonstrated that the passive immunization of coho salmon with the same antiSRIF used in the present study, increased plasma GH levels. In the rat it has been proposed that antiSRIF immunoneutralizes SRIF in the hypophyseal portal vessels before it reaches the pituitary somatotrophs, thereby reducing SRIFs inhibitory action (Chihara et al 1978).…”

“…However, there was an apparent delayed response to SOMA-10 treatment. While the reasons for this remain obscure, Diez et al (1992) observed that the timecourse of GH response, following injection of coho salmon with SOMA-10, was short; plasma GH levels being the same in both treated and control fish after only 30 min post-ip injection. Further, in the same study, the magnitude of plasma GH increase, following SOMA-10 injection, was found to be relatively low, certainly lower than that reported for mammals (Thomas et al 1985).…”

“…At the level of the pituitary, PPSS-I-derived peptides such as SS-14 are well known for their inhibition of GH release in mammals and fishes (Marchant et al, 1987;Marchant & Peter, 1989;Harvey, 1993). The current results showing that intraperitoneal injection of rainbow trout with SS-14 was (Sweeting & McKeown, 1986;Diez et al, 1992) and goldfish Carassius auratus (L.) (Cook & Peter, 1984). However, as noted previously (Holloway et al, 1997), the interaction between plasma SS-14 and GH secretion is potentially complex, and the relative importance of the plasma SS-14 pool compared to hypothalamicallyderived SS-14 in modulating GH secretion is not known.…”

“…The fish were selected randomly to receive an intraperitoneal injection of 5 ng g −1 body mass (BM) of SS‐14 (American Peptide Company, Sunnyvale, CA, U.S.A.) ( n = 5), 50 ng g −1 BM of SS‐14 ( n = 5), or saline ( n = 5). These doses were chosen based on a previous study that administered SS‐14 to coho salmon (Diez et al ., 1992). An insulin syringe (0·3 ml) fitted with a 30‐gauge needle was used to administer the treatments intra‐peritoneally (i.p.).…”
