Abstract This is an ovcmicw of thc hormoncs which may be involved in food intake control in fish, and some hypo- thetical pathways of thcir action arc givcn based on mammalian knowledge. Most of the observed effects of these hormones may result from four types of mechanisms, each hormone acting by one or several as follows: (1) hormones could have a direct effect on central nervous system centres, associated with food intake behaviour or via vagal afferent neurons; (2) an indirect effect may occur via the gut which slows gastrointestinal transit, thus rcsulting in stomach distention which activates vagal afferent neurons; (3) they could have an indirect cffcct, acting dircctly on intermediary metabolism via glucose, free fatty acids or amino acids mohilization or storage; (4) the last possible pathway is an indirect effect by modifying directly or indirectly secretions of other hormones involved in food intake control. Some of thesc hormones (CCK, PYY, glucagon, adrenalin) act as short-term factors which regulate meal ingestion and are generally inhibi- tory factors. On thc othcr hand, other hormones (GH, TH, and leptin) require more time to modify food intake behaviour, and appcar as stored calorie rcgulators. However, the orientation of hormones to short-terin or to long-term action is not always clear as it has been noted for insulin and glucocorticoids, and may depend on the hormonal and metabolite environment. Keywords: Food intake, hormones. Quelles sont les hormones qui semblent impliquées dans la prise alimentaire des poissons ? Résumé Cette synthèse donne un aperçu des hormones pouvant être impliquées dans le contrôle de la prise alimen- taire des poissons et propose des voies d'action hypothétiques en se basant sur les connaissances acquises chez les mammifères. La plupart des effets observés résulteraient de quatre types de mécanismes, chaque hormone agissant par le biais d'un ou de plusieurs d'entre eux : (1) les hormones peuvent agir directement sur les noyaux du système nerveux central associés au comportement alimentaire, ou via les afférents du nerf vague ; (2) elles peuvent agir indirectement via le tube digestif en ralentissant le transit gastro-intestinal, ce qui conduit à une distension de l'estomac activant les afférents du nerf vague ; (3) elles peuvent agir indi- rectement au niveau du métabolisme intermédiaire via la mobilisation ou le stockage du glucose, des acides gras libres ou des acides aminés ; (4) elles peuvent modifier directement ou indirectement sur la sécrétion d'autres hormones impliquées dans le contrôle de la prise alimentaire. Certaines de ces hormones (CCK, PYY, glucagon, adrénaline) agissent à court terme en régulant le niveau d'ingestion et sont généralement inhibitrices. D'autres hormones (GH, TH et leptin) demandent plus de temps pour modifier le comportement de prise alimentaire et apparaissent comme des régulateurs du stockage énergétique. Cependant, les actions à court ou à long terme de ces hormones ne sont pas toujours très claires, comme cela est observé pour les glucocorticoïdes et l'insuline, et semblent dépendre de l'environnement métabolique et hormonal.

However, in our study on rainbow trout, we cannot find any relationship between diurnal GH fluctuations and the level of the food ration or the time of the daily mcal (Gomez et al., 1996). So, the short term relationship between GH and nutrition remains unclear.

It further regulates the metabolism of carbohydrates, fats and protein by promoting the absorption of glucose from the blood into liver, fat and skeletal muscle cells. In these tissues the absorbed glucose from the blood is thus converted into either glycogen via glycogenesis or fats (triglycerides) via lipogenesis, or, in the case of the liver both glycogenesis and lipogenesis. Glucose production and secretion by the liver is strongly supported by high concentrations of insulin in the blood.

INS- and IR-encoding mRNAs were isolated, cloned, and sequenced; and shown to be differentially expressed within and among multiple tissue types. Regulation was examined through various nutritional and hormonal treatments (in vivo and in vitro). A real-time quantitative- PCR assay was developed to measure the respective levels of mRNA expression. Fasting, growth hormone (GH), and somatostatin (SS) differentially regulated INS and IR mRNAs within selected tissues, in vivo. Glucose, GH, SS, and insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-I) differentially regulated INS and IR mRNAs within selected tissues, in vitro. The results of this dissertation research display the identification and differential regulation of multiple INS- and IR-encoding mRNAs and suggest that independent mechanisms may serve to regulate the various isoforms in a tissue-specific manner.

    Fortin et al. Zoological Studies (2015) 54:21 DOI 10.1186/s40555-014-0093-4 RESEARCH Open Access Anatomic and molecular characterization of the endocrine pancreas of a teleostean fish: Atlantic wolffish (Anarhichas lupus) Jessica S Fortin1*, Ariane Santamaria-Bouvier2, Stéphane Lair2, André D Dallaire1 and Marie-Odile Benoit-Biancamano1* Abstract Background: The biologic attributes of the endocrine pancreas and the comparative endocrinology of islet amyloid polypeptide (IAPP) of fish are not well described in the literature. This study describes the endocrine pancreas of one teleostean fish. Ten captive Atlantic wolffish (Anarhichas lupus) from the Montreal Biodome were submitted for necropsy and their pancreata were collected. Results: Grossly, all the fish pancreata examined contained 1-3 nodules of variable diameter (1-8 mm). Microscopically, the nodules were uniform, highly cellular, and composed of polygonal to elongated cells. Immunofluorescence for pancreatic hormones was performed. The nodules were immunoreactive for insulin most prominent centrally, but with IAPP and glucagon only in the periphery of the nodules. Exocrine pancreas was positive for chromogranin A. Not previously recognized in fish, IAPP immunoreactivity occurred in α, glucagon-containing, cells and did not co-localize with insulin in β cells. The islet tissues were devoid of amyloid deposits. IAPP DNA sequencing was performed to compare the sequence among teleost fish and the potency to form amyloid fibrils. In silico analysis of the amino acid sequences 19-34 revealed that it was not amyloidogenic. Conclusions: Amyloidosis of pancreatic islets would not be expected as a spontaneous disease in the Atlantic wolffish. Our study underlines that this teleost fish is a potential candidate for pancreatic xenograft research.

For decades, excellent improvement has been obtained in clinical transplantation of pancreatic islet. Because of that, islet transplantation has become the main alternative cure for type 1 diabetics. However, important obstacles still remain to use of islet transplants routinely as a treatment choice. The deficiency of human islet donors makes the search for alternative islet sources mandatory for future developments in pancreatic islet transplantation. Venturing into xenotransplantation provides tremendous extensive sources of islet cells. The improvement of genetically engineered pigs expressing human complement regulatory proteins to defeat immune damaging pathways has been promising; however, the necessity of massive immunosuppressive and the concern for zoonotic viral transmission are some of the constraints.
