Leptin directly influences gonadotropin (GTH) secretion from female pituitary cells in vitro and is a key signal at the onset of puberty in female chub mackerel (Scomber japonicus). Here, we investigated whether leptin also influences GTH secretion in male chub mackerel. The addition of 1 nM homologous recombinant leptin to pre-pubertal male pituitary cells stimulated follicle-stimulating hormone secretion after 1 and 2 h of culture. Therefore, leptin signaling could also directly facilitate GTH secretion in male chub mackerel.
瘦素在体外直接影响雌性鲤鱼脑垂体细胞的促性腺激素(GTH)分泌,是雌性鲤鱼青春期开始的关键信号。在这里,我们研究了瘦素是否也会影响雄性鲤鱼的 GTH 分泌。将 1nM 同源重组瘦素添加到未成熟的雄性鲤鱼脑垂体细胞中,在培养 1 和 2 小时后刺激卵泡刺激素的分泌。因此,瘦素信号也可以直接促进雄性鲤鱼的 GTH 分泌。
