Neurohypophysial Hormones Associated with Osmotic Challenges in the Brain and Pituitary of the Euryhaline Black Porgy, <i>Acanthopagrus schlegelii</i>

Our study showed differential expression of the <i>arginine vasotocin</i> (<i>avt</i>)/<i>isotocin</i> (<i>it</i>) in the brain and pituitary gland of the euryhaline black porgy (<i>Acanthopagrus schlegelii</i>) during osmotic stress. A dec...
