Growth regulation by insulin-like growth factor-I in fish
Share
Abstract
Insulin-like growth factor-I (IGF-I) is a mitogenic polypeptide that plays an essential role in the regulation of development and somatic growth of vertebrates, mainly by mediating growth hormone actions. It has clearly been established that the structure of IGF-I and its biological function has been highly conserved among vertebrates. In this paper, we review the recent developments in the molecular, biochemical, and physiological properties of IGF-I in fish.

Growth pattern of the tropical sea cucumber, Holothuria scabra, under captivity
; ; Lebata-Ramos, Ma. Junemie Hazel
(Ministry of Tropical Agricultural Research Centre, 2014)
The growth of the juvenile sea cucumber, Holothuria scabra, was studied under captivity to elucidate the growth variation pattern and determine the best-fit growth model to estimate age- and size-specific growth rates. ...
