Characterization of brain gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) molecular variants in brain extracts from different perciform fishes from Antarctic waters
Gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) is the hypothalamic hormone that regulates the reproductive system by stimulating release of gonadotropins from the anterior pituitary gland. The molecular variants of the reproductive neuropeptide GnRH were characterized from brain tissue of three perciform spe...
