Differential Metabolic and Transcriptional Responses of Gilthead Seabream (<i>Sparus aurata</i>) Administered with Cortisol or Cortisol-BSA
Cortisol is the main glucocorticoid hormone promoting compensatory metabolic responses of stress in teleosts. This hormone acts through genomic and membrane-initiated actions to exert its functions inside the cell. Experimental approaches, using exogenous cortisol administration, confirm the role of...

Cortisol is the main glucocorticoid hormone promoting compensatory metabolic responses of stress in teleosts.

Experimental approaches, using exogenous cortisol administration, confirm the role of this hormone during short (minutes to hours)- and long-term (days to weeks) responses to stress. The role of membrane-initiated cortisol signaling during long-term responses has been recently explored. In this study, <i>Sparus aurata</i> were intraperitoneally injected with coconut oil alone or coconut oil containing cortisol, cortisol-BSA, or BSA.
