“…CRH and its related peptides also act as regulators of feeding behavior and stress responses in vertebrates including mammals, birds, amphibians, and fish (Kalra et al, 1999; Bernier and Peter, 2001; Ohgushi et al, 2001; Hillebrand et al, 2002; Tachibana et al, 2004; Saito et al, 2005; Lowry and Moore, 2006; Carr et al, 2010; Matsuda et al, 2010b; Morimoto et al, 2011; Khan et al, 2013). It has been reported that, in the goldfish, intracerebroventricular (ICV) administration of CRH or UI exerts an anorexigenic action (de Pedro et al, 1997; Bernier and Peter, 2001; Volkoff et al, 2005; Matsuda, 2009), which is blocked by treatment with a CRH 1/CRH 2 receptor antagonist, α-helical CRH (9−41) (de Pedro et al, 1997; Bernier and Peter, 2001; Bernier, 2006; Maruyama et al, 2006).…”
