Abstract
The dietary inclusion of plant-based products in fish feeds formulation is required for the sustainable development of aquaculture. Moreover, considering functional diets, hydroxytyrosol, one of the major phenolic compounds found in olives (Olea europaea), has been identified as a potential candidate to be used in the aquafeeds industry due to its health promoting abilities. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of the inclusion of an olive juice extract rich in hydroxytyrosol as an additive (0.52 g HT/kg feed) in a high-fat (24% lipids) diet in gilthead sea bream (Sparus aurata) juveniles. Moreover, the experimental diets, with or without the extract, were administered daily at a standard (3% of total biomass in the tank) or restricted ration (40% reduction) for 8–9 weeks. Growth and biometric parameters, insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1) plasma levels and growth hormone/IGF axis-, myogenic- and osteogenic-related genes expression in liver, white muscle and/or bone were analyzed. Moreover, in vitro cultures of vertebra bone-derived cells from fish fed the diets at a standard ration were performed at weeks 3 and 9 to explore the effects of hydroxytyrosol on osteoblasts development. Although neither body weight or any other biometric parameter were affected by diet composition after 4 or 8 weeks, the addition of the hydroxytyrosol-rich extract to the diet increased IGF-1 plasma levels, regardless of the ration regime, suggesting an anabolic condition. In muscle, the higher mRNA levels of the binding protein igfbp-5b and the myoblast fusion marker dock5 in fish fed with the hydroxytyrosol-rich diet suggested that this compound may have a role in muscle, inducing development and a better muscular condition. Furthermore in bone, increased osteogenic potential while delayed matrix mineralization after addition to the diet of the olive juice extract was supported by the upregulated expression of igf-1 and bmp4 and reduced transcript levels of osteopontin. Overall, this study provides new insights into the beneficial use of hydroxytyrosol as a dietary additive in gilthead sea bream functional diets to improve muscle-skeletal condition and, the aquaculture industry.

Recombinant bovine growth hormone (rBGH) enhances somatic growth by regulating the GH-IGF axis in fingerlings of gilthead sea bream (Sparus aurata). Gen Comp Endocrinol 2018; 257:192-202.

Abstract
The growth hormone (GH)/insulin-like growth factors (IGFs) endocrine axis is the main growth-regulator system in vertebrates. Some authors have demonstrated the positive effects on growth of a sustained-release formulation of a recombinant bovine GH (rBGH) in different fish species. The aim of this work was to characterize the effects of a single injection of rBGH in fingerlings of gilthead sea bream on growth, GH-IGF axis, and both myogenic and osteogenic processes. Thus, body weight and specific growth rate were significantly increased in rBGH-treated fish respect to control fish at 6weeks post-injection, whereas the hepatosomatic index was decreased and the condition factor and mesenteric fat index were unchanged, altogether indicating enhanced somatic growth. Moreover, rBGH injection increased the plasma IGF-I levels in parallel with a rise of hepatic mRNA from total IGF-I, IGF-Ic and IGF-II, the binding proteins IGFBP-1a and IGFBP-2b, and also the receptors IGF-IRb, GHR-I and GHR-II. In skeletal muscle, the expression of IGF-Ib and GHR-I was significantly increased but that of IGF-IRb was reduced; the mRNA levels of myogenic regulatory factors, proliferation and differentiation markers (PCNA and MHC, respectively), or that of different molecules of the signaling pathway (TOR/AKT) were unaltered. Besides, the growth inhibitor myostatin (MSTN1 and MSTN2) and the hypertrophic marker (MLC2B) expression resulted significantly enhanced, suggesting altogether that the muscle is in a non-proliferative stage of development. Contrarily in bone, although the expression of most molecules of the GH/IGF axis was decreased, the mRNA levels of several osteogenic genes were increased. The histology analysis showed a GH induced lipolytic effect with a clear decrease in the subcutaneous fat layer. Overall, these results reveal that a better growth potential can be achieved on this species and supports the possibility to improve growth and quality through the optimization of its culture conditions.

Abstract
The endocrine system regulates growth mainly through the growth hormone (GH)/insulin-like growth factors (IGFs) axis and, although exercise promotes growth, little is known about its modulation of these factors. The aim of this work was to characterize the effects of 5 wk of moderate sustained swimming on the GH-IGFs axis in gilthead sea bream fingerlings. Plasma IGF-I/GH ratio and tissue gene expression of total IGF-I and three splice variants, IGF-II, three IGF binding proteins, two GH receptors, two IGF-I receptors, and the downstream molecules were analyzed. Fish under exercise (EX) grew more than control fish (CT), had a higher plasma IGF-I/GH ratio, and showed increased hepatic IGF-I expression (mainly IGF-Ia). Total IGF-I expression levels were similar in the anterior and caudal muscles; however, IGF-Ic expression increased with exercise, suggesting that this splice variant may be the most sensitive to mechanical action. Moreover, IGFBP-5b and IGF-II increased in the anterior and caudal muscles, respectively, supporting enhanced muscle growth. Furthermore, in EX fish, hepatic IGF-IRb was reduced together with both GHRs; GHR-II was also reduced in anterior muscle, while GHR-I showed higher expression in the two muscle regions, indicating tissue-dependent differences and responses to exercise. Exercise also increased gene and protein expression of target of rapamycin (TOR), suggesting enhanced muscle protein synthesis. Altogether, these data demonstrate that moderate sustained activity may be used to increase the plasma IGF-I/GH ratio and to potentiate growth in farmed gilthead sea bream, modulating the gene expression of different members of the GH-IGFs axis (i.e., IGF-Ic, IGF-II, IGFBP-5b, GHR-I, and TOR).

Protein level affects the relative lysine requirement of growing rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) fry. Br J Nutr 2009; 102:37-53.

Abstract
The effect of two digestible protein levels (310 and 469 g/kg DM) on the relative lysine (Lys; g Lys/kg DM or g Lys/100 g protein) and the absolute Lys (g Lys intake/kg0·75 per d) requirements was studied in rainbow trout fry using a dose–response trial. At each protein level, sixteen isoenergetic (22–23 MJ digestible energy/kg DM) diets were tested, involving a full range (2–70 g/kg DM) of sixteen Lys levels. Each diet was given to one group of sixty rainbow trout fry (mean initial body weight 0·78 g) reared at 15°C for 31 feeding d. The Lys requirements were estimated based on the relationships between weight, protein, and Lys gains (g/kg0·75 per d) and Lys concentration (g/kg DM or g/100 g protein) or Lys intake (g/kg0·75 per d), using the broken-line model (BLM) and the non-linear four-parameter saturation kinetics model (SKM-4). Both the model and the response criterion chosen markedly impacted the relative Lys requirement. The relative Lys requirement for Lys gain of rainbow trout estimated with the BLM (and SKM-4 at 90 % of the maximum response) increased from 16·8 (19·6) g/kg DM at a low protein level to 23·4 (24·5) g/kg DM at a high protein level. However, the dietary protein content affected neither the absolute Lys requirement nor the relative Lys requirement expressed as g Lys/100 g protein nor the Lys requirement for maintenance (21 mg Lys/kg0·75 per d).

Abstract
Arginine (Arg), injected intraperitoneally into rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss), increases plasma concentrations of glucagon, glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1), and insulin by three- to 10-fold. Resulting ratios of glucagon and GLP-1 over insulin are unchanged in 20-d food-deprived fish (saline, 1.28 vs. Arg, 0.93; not significant) while slightly increased in feeding trout (saline, 0.70 vs. Arg, 0.92; P<0.05). In food-deprived juveniles, Arg injection leads to significant decreases in plasma fatty acids (saline, 1.65 mM L(-1) vs. Arg, 1.09 mM L(-1); P<0.05) and increases in glycogen phosphorylase total activity (saline, 3.7 units g(-1) vs. Arg, 4.6 units g(-1); P<0.05) and degree of phosphorylation (saline, 1.7 units g(-1) vs. Arg, 2.33 units g(-1); P<0.05). Plasma and liver glucose and liver enzymes (glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase, 6-phosphogluconate dehydrogenase, pyruvate kinase, phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase, lactate dehydrogenase, and malic enzyme) are unaffected. Otherwise, fish show the changes in plasma metabolites expected with food deprivation. Arg injection into feeding fish results in decreases in plasma fatty acids, liver glycogen, and glucose, while liver glucose 6-phosphate concentrations increase. Hepatocytes isolated from feeding fish injected with Arg 2 h previously show significantly lower rates of lactate oxidation than controls (85% of control), while rates of gluconeogenesis and hormonal responses to mammalian glucagon and GLP-1 remain unchanged. Rates of lactate oxidation and gluconeogenesis are significantly decreased by 5%-10% on treatment with porcine insulin. Complete immunoneutralization of insulin with rabbit antisalmon insulin serum decreases hepatic glucose 6-phosphate concentrations and abolishes the Arg-dependent effects on glycogen phosphorylase. It appears that short-term increases in pancreatic hormones cause only minor metabolic readjustments in the relatively short time frame covered in these experiments. Surprisingly, complete removal of insulin does not have immediate altering or detrimental effects on key metabolites and metabolic pathways, even if glucagon and GLP-1 concentrations are concurrently several-fold higher than usual. Our data clearly show the dual role of Arg in fish metabolism.

Abstract
The objective of this study was to examine the effect of winter feeding and fasting at both high (10 degrees ) and low (2.5 degrees ) temperatures on growth, metabolic stores, and endocrinology of coho salmon. Treatments were as follows: warm-fed, warm-not fed, cold-fed, and cold-not fed during the winter (January-February). The following parameters were measured: length, weight, whole body lipid, liver glycogen, hepatosomatic index, and plasma levels of insulin, insulin-like growth factor-I (IGF-I), and thyroxine (T4). Warm-fed fish grew continuously throughout the experiment from 21.5 +/- 0.3 to 43.4 +/- 1.4 g and were larger than fish in the other treatments. Fish in all other treatments grew from 21.5 +/- 0.3 to approximately 32 g and showed depressed growth during January and February. During the winter, liver glycogen, hepatosomatic index, plasma insulin, and IGF-I were highly influenced by manipulations in rearing conditions, whereas whole body lipid and plasma T4 were less affected. Plasma insulin levels fluctuated dramatically (from 2 to 7 ng/ml) in the two cold-acclimated groups shortly after the change in temperature. In general, the plasma insulin levels of the warm-fed fish were the highest (8-9 ng/ml), those of the warm-not fed fish were the lowest (2-5 ng/ml), and those of the two cold-acclimated groups were more variable but intermediate. In contrast, plasma IGF-I levels showed a decline with temperature decrease (from 9 to 5 ng/ml) and more gradual changes than insulin with the change in feeding. The highest plasma IGF-I levels were found in the warm-fed fish (10-15 ng/ml), the lowest levels were in the cold-not fed fish (4-5 ng/ml), and those of the warm-not fed and cold-fed fish were intermediate. During the treatment period the T4 levels were relatively unaffected by manipulations in feeding and temperature compared with either insulin or IGF-I. These data suggest that the insulin, IGF-I, and thyroid axes are differentially regulated under changing seasonal and/or environmental conditions in yearling salmon.

Abstract
This study tests the hypothesis that glucose tolerance in fish is related to nutrient preference and is correlated with white muscle glucose transporter and phosphorylation (hexokinase) activities. Glucose clearance was investigated in the carnivorous rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) and American eel (Anguilla rostrata) (feeding and fasting) and the omnivorous black bullhead catfish (Ameiurus melas). Glucose tolerance was assessed by an intravenous glucose tolerance test, injecting 250 mg glucose/kg body weight and tracking blood glucose concentrations over 24 h. Both feeding eel and feeding catfish returned plasma glucose levels to baseline within 60 min of glucose injection. Glucose values remained elevated for more than 360 min in both the food-deprived eel and the feeding rainbow trout. Glucose transport studies in white muscle membrane vesicles provided evidence for the presence of a stereospecific, saturable glucose transporter in all three species. Affinity constants (K(m)) ranged from 8 to 14 mM while V(max) values ranged from 75 to 150 pmol/s/mg protein. Neither kinetic parameter differed significantly between species. Cytochalasin B and phloretin did not significantly inhibit glucose transport, implying that these transporters are unlike the mammalian muscle glucose transporters (GLUT). In fact, Northern and Western blot analyses of mRNA and protein from white and red muscles and heart did not detect a mammalian-type GLUT-1 or -4 in any of the species examined. Glucose phosphorylation indicated the presence of a hexokinase activity (low K(m) enzyme) but again there were no differences in kinetic parameters between species. These studies demonstrate that glucose tolerance in fish is species-dependent but none of the parameters examined clearly differentiate between the species examined. Certainly a stereospecific glucose transporter exists in white skeletal muscle of the fish studied but no molecular or kinetic similarities to the mammalian GLUTs were found. Whether these transporters are insulin-sensitive or contribute to glucose tolerance requires further molecular characterization.

Abstract
Insulin and glucagon, two of the most studied pancreatic hormones bind to specific membrane receptors to exert their biological actions. Insulin-like growth factors IGF-I and IGF-II are structurally related to insulin, although they are expressed ubiquitously. The biological functions of the IGFs are mediated by different transmembrane receptors, which includes the insulin, IGF-I and IGF-II receptors. The interaction of insulin, insulin related peptides and glucagon with the corresponding receptors has been studied extensively in mammals and continues to be so. At the same time, research on ectothermic animals has made enormous progress in the recent years. This paper summarizes current knowledge on insulin, IGF-I and glucagon receptors, from a comparative point of view with special attention to non-mammalian vertebrates. The review covers adult and mostly typical target tissues, and with very few exceptions, developmental aspects are not considered. Binding characteristics, tissue distribution and structure of insulin and IGF-I receptors will be considered first, because both ligands and receptors are structurally related and have overlapping functions. These sections will be followed by similar distribution of information on glucagon receptors. Readers interested in either structure or functions of insulin, IGFs and glucagon in nonmammalian vertebrates are referred to other reviews (Mommsen TP, Plisetskaya EM.

Abstract
Previously we reported somatostatin-14 (SS-14) binding in the liver of rainbow trout and that fasting enhanced SS-14-binding capacity. In this study, we used hepatocytes isolated from rainbow trout to study aspects of SS-14 processing and to evaluate the basis of fasting-associated changes in SS-14 binding. Hepatocytes specifically bound 5-8% of the total 125I-SS-14 added. Scatchard analysis revealed the existence of two classes of binding sites. The high-affinity site had a dissociation constant (Kd) of 23.6 +/- 1.1 nM and a binding capacity (Bmax) of 3459 +/- 134 receptors/cell. The low-affinity site had a Kd of 764 +/- 27 nM and a Bmax of 17,432 +/- 345 receptors/cell. 125I-SS-14 dissociation was hastened by the presence of 10(-6) M SS-14 . The internalization of 125I-SS-14 was time dependent; preincubation of hepatocytes with 10(-6) M SS-14 reduced internalization of 125I-SS-14. The number of high-affinity binding sites was also reduced by 10(-6) M SS-14. Because plasma levels of insulin (INS) decline relative to those of glucagon (GLU) during fasting of trout, we also investigated the effects of these hormones on SS-14 binding. The number of high-affinity SS-14-binding sites was reduced by 10(-6) M INS and was increased by 10(-6) M and 10(-8) M GLU. These results indicated that SS-14 regulates aspects of SS-14 binding and processing and suggests that INS and GLU play a role in fasting-associated changes in SS-14 binding.

Abstract
In mammals, one of the major actions of insulin-like growth factor I (IGF-I) is to increase skeletal growth by stimulating new cartilage formation. IGF-I stimulates chondrocytes in vitro to synthesize new cartilage matrix, measured by enhanced uptake of 35S-sulfate, but the addition of insulin does not produce a similar effect except when added at high concentrations. However, recent studies have shown that, in teleosts, both insulin and IGF-I are potent activators of 35S-sulfate uptake in gill cartilage. To further characterize the growth-promoting activities of these hormones in fish, we have used reverse transcriptase-linked PCR to analyze the expression of insulin receptor family genes in salmon gill cartilage. Partial cDNA sequences encoding the tyrosine kinase domains from six distinct members of the IR gene family were obtained, and sequence comparisons revealed that four of the cDNAs encoded amino acid sequences that were highly homologous to human IR whereas the encoded sequences from two of the cDNAs were more similar to the human type I IGF receptor (IGF-R). Furthermore, a comparative reverse transcriptase-linked PCR assay revealed that the four putative IR mRNAs expressed in toto in gill cartilage were 56% of that found in liver whereas the expressed amount of the two IGF-R mRNAs was 9-fold higher compared with liver. These results suggest that the chondrogenic actions of insulin and IGF-I in fish are mediated by the ligands binding to their cognate receptors. However, further studies will be required to characterize the binding properties and relative contribution of the individual IR and IGF-R genes.

Abstract
Insulin and IGF-I binding to semi-purified red muscle receptors was characterized in brown trout, Salmo trutta and the common carp. Cyprinus carpio. The yield of glycoprotein obtained after semipurification of receptors with WGA-agarose affinity chromatography in microgram g-1 initial tissue was 210.6 +/- 21 micrograms g-1 in trout and 108.5 +/- 2.5 micrograms g-1 in carp. IGF-I specific binding (4.72 +/- 0.64%/10 micrograms glycoprotein) was 4-5-times higher than insulin binding (1.04 +/- 0.12%/10 micrograms glycoprotein) in trout red muscle. This difference in binding was due to a higher number and a greater affinity of the IGF-I (Kd, 0.21 +/- 0.03 nM) compared with the insulin (Kd, 0.67 +/- 0.06 nM) receptors in this tissue. Carp red muscle IGF-I binding (9.14 +/- 0.55%/10 micrograms glycoprotein) surpassed insulin binding (2.59 +/- 0.094%/10 micrograms glycoprotein) mainly because of a greater affinity of the IGF-I (Kd, 0.092 +/- 0.027 nM) compared with the insulin (Kd, 0.1515 +/- 0.0285 nM) receptor. IGF-I and insulin binding in carp red muscle were higher than in trout, as a consequence of a higher affinity of carp red muscle receptors. Arginine injection provoked acute hyperinsulinemia in both trout (23.3 +/- 1.01 ng ml-1) and carp (24.3 +/- 1.34 ng ml-1. Specific binding of insulin and IGF-I to the red muscle decreased 4 h after injection. In trout, a decrease of insulin and IGF-I binding of 47.0% and 63.3%, respectively was observed compared with controls, in carp, these values were 44.0% and 45.0%. The number of insulin and IGF-I receptors decreased (42-55%) but affinities did not change suggesting that receptor down-regulation is a consequence of high insulin levels.

Abstract
The effects of insulin titres on regulation of receptor binding were studied in several fish species. Insulin receptors were semi-purified by affinity chromatography (WGA-agarose) from skeletal muscle of carp, brown trout and rainbow trout that had been subjected to increases in insulinemia produced either by arginine injection, food administration, or adaptation to an experimental diet (extruded diet with high-digestibility carbohydrates). Arginine injection provoked acute hyperinsulinemia in both carp and trout. Specific binding of insulin to the skeletal muscle was significantly increased 3 h after injection (from 5.8 +/- 0.3 to 9.6 +/- 0.9%/10 micrograms protein in carp and from 0.8 +/- 0.2 to 1.5 +/- 0.4%/10 micrograms in trout). The same effect was observed in carp liver preparations (from 6.0 +/- 0.75 to 9.9 +/- 1.25%/10 micrograms). No alterations in tyrosine kinase activity of the receptors were detected in either carp or trout preparations: basal activities of the receptors were maintained (3100 +/- 200 fmol P/fmol receptors/30 min and 3700 +/- 400 fmol P/fmol receptors/30 min, in carp and trout, respectively), as were the percentage of stimulation over basal levels obtained by incubation with insulin (227 +/- 25% and 160 +/- 10% respectively). Food ingestion raised plasma insulin levels more steadily. Specific binding also increased in skeletal muscle preparations, especially in carp (from 5.7 +/- 0.3 to 11 +/- 1.7%/10 micrograms at 4 h and 10 +/- 0.7%/10 micrograms at 8 h). Tyrosine kinase activity was maintained without significant changes. Rainbow trout adapted for 2 months to an extruded diet presented higher insulin titres and higher glycogen reserves in liver and muscle. Insulin binding to skeletal muscle preparations was also significantly increased (from 0.36 +/- 0.02 to 0.77 +/- 0.1%/10 micrograms), as was tyrosine kinase activity (from 132 +/- 4% to 156 +/- 6%, without alterations in the basal activity). Results showed that fish can respond to both acute and maintained increases in insulinemia by increasing the number of insulin receptors. Tyrosine kinase activity, in contrast, is only modified after long-term adaptation.

Abstract
The characterization of a recently established system for the short-term culture of rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) liver cells in chemically defined medium has been extended to studies on the metabolic competence of the cells and the characterization of their response to hormones. Three areas of metabolism have been addressed: a) the utilization of the exogenously added substrates fructose, lactate, glucose, dihydroxyacetone, and glycerol for glucose and lactate formation; b) the effects of the pancreatic hormones insulin and glucagon on cellular glucose formation, lactate formation, and fatty acid synthesis; and c) the effects of insulin and dexamethasone on the estradiol-dependent production of vitellogenin. Incubation of trout liver cells with fructose, lactate, glucose, dihydroxyacetone, or glycerol resulted in enhanced rates of cellular glucose and lactate production. Substrate-induced effects usually were more clearly expressed after extended (20 h) than after acute (5 h) culture periods. Addition of the hormones insulin or glucagon caused dose-dependent alterations in the flux of substrates to glucose and lactate. Rates of de novo synthesis of fatty acids from [14C]acetate were stimulated by insulin and inhibited by glucagon during acute and extended incubation periods. Treatment of liver cells isolated from male trout for 72 h with estradiol induced vitellogenin production and secretion into the medium. However, the addition of insulin or dexamethasone drastically reduced this estrogen-induced vitellogenesis. These results indicate that trout liver cells cultured in defined medium maintain central metabolic pathways, including glycolysis, gluconeogenesis, lipogenesis, and vitellogenesis as well as their responsiveness to various hormones, for at least 72 h.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Abstract
Isolated carp hepatocytes cultured in serum-free, chemically defined medium were used to investigate within the same cell preparation characteristics of the binding of insulin as well as effects of insulin on cellular metabolism. The binding of human [(125)I]-insulin to carp hepatocytes was studied in kinetic, saturation and displacement experiments. A dependency of insulin binding on the collagenase used for cell isolation was demonstrated. Insulin binding decreased during the first 12h of culture but remained constant during the following 12h. The kinetic experiments revealed that [(125)I]-insulin binding reached a steady state within 20-30 min of incubation. The mathematical analysis of the saturation experiments demonstrated the existence of two populations of binding sites, one with high affinity (Kd1 = 5.5 pM) and low capacity (Bmax1 = 0.14 fmol/mg protein or 77 binding sites/cell) and one with low affinity (Kd2 = 2.4 nM) and high capacity (Bmax2 = 17.6 fmol/mg protein or 9623 binding sites/cell). In competition experiments, 312 pM [(125)I]-insulin was displaced by cold insulin, IGF-I and IGF-II with IC50 values of 2.2, 7.9 and 20.3 nM, respectively. Glucagon was without effect. Binding of insulin to carp hepatocytes resulted in a significant reduction of glucose release and a significant increase of protein synthesis as of de novo fatty acid synthesis.
