In the trout, CRH and AVT synergize to stimulate ACTH release.
Regulatory peptides(1996)
摘要
Anterior pituitaries of the rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) were incubated with graded concentrations of arginine vasotocin (AVT) or synthetic rat corticotrophin-releasing hormone (rCRH-41), alone or in combination, and the ACTH secreted into the medium was measured by a sensitive cytochemical bioassay. The aim was to determine the relative potencies of the two secretogogues and whether, in this fish species, they act synergistically. Rat CRF-41 and AVT both produced concentration-dependent increases in ACTH release. The minimum effective concentration for both peptides was approximately 1 nM but, at higher concentrations, the efficacy of CRF-41 was greater than that of AVT. Clear evidence of synergy between the two peptides was obtained. The response of the trout thus falls in line with observations in mammals and contrasts with findings for the goldfish.
