What is Gene expression of growth hormone family and glucocorticoid receptors, osmosensors, and ion transporters in the gill during seawater acclimation of Mozambique tilapia, Oreochromis mossambicus about?
## Abstract This study characterized endocrine and ionoregulatory responses accompanying seawater (SW) acclimation in Mozambique tilapia (__Oreochromis mossambicus__). Changes in plasma hormones and gene expression of hormone receptors, putative osmosensors, and ion transporters in the gill were measured. Transfer of freshwater (FW)‐acclimated tilapia to SW resulted in a marked elevation in plasma osmolality and a significant rise in plasma growth hormone (GH) levels at 12 hr and 14 days after transfer. Significant reductions in plasma prolactin (PRL~177~ and PRL~188~) levels also occurred in SW‐transferred fish; no effect of transfer upon plasma cortisol or insulin‐like growth factor I was observed. Gene expression of GH receptor increased strongly 6 hr after transfer, whereas PRL receptor was lower than controls at 12 hr. By contrast, mRNA levels of somatolactin and glucocorticoid receptors were unaffected by SW transfer. Osmotic stress transcription factor 1 mRNA levels rose significantly between 3 and 12 hr, whereas the calcium‐sensing receptor was unaffected. Aquaporin‐3 gene expression was strongly down‐regulated during SW acclimation from 12 hr until the conclusion of the ex
