Abstract
Our aim was to investigate the potential role of TOR (target of rapamycin) signaling pathway in the regulation of hepatic glucose metabolism in rainbow trout. Fasted fish were first treated with a single intraperitoneal injection of rapamycin or vehicle and then submitted to a second intraperitoneal administration of glucose 4 h later. Our results revealed that intraperitoneal administration of glucose induced hyperglycemia for both vehicle and rapamycin treatments, which peaked at 2 h. Plasma glucose level in vehicle-treated fish was significantly higher than in rapamycin-treated fish at 8 and 17 h, whereas it remained at the basal level in rapamycin-treated fish. Glucose administration significantly enhanced the phosphorylation of Akt and ribosomal protein S6 kinase (S6K1) in vehicle-treated fish, while rapamycin completely abolished the activation of S6K1 in rapamycin-treated fish, without inhibiting the phosphorylation of Akt on Thr-308 or Ser-473. Despite the lack of significant variation in phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase mRNA abundance, mRNA abundance for glucokinase (GK), glucose 6-phosphatase (G6Pase) I and II, and fructose 1,6-bisphosphatase (FBPase) was reduced by rapamycin 17 h after glucose administration. The inhibition effect of rapamycin on GK and FBPase was further substantiated at the activity level. The suppression of GK gene expression and activity by rapamycin provided the first in vivo evidence in fish that glucose regulates hepatic GK gene expression and activity through a TORC1-dependent manner. Unlike in mammals, we observed that acute rapamycin treatment improved glucose tolerance through the inhibition of hepatic gluconeogenesis in rainbow trout.

Effects of Dietary Garlic Extracts on Whole Body Amino Acid and Fatty Acid Composition, Muscle Free Amino Acid Profiles and Blood Plasma Changes in Juvenile Sterlet Sturgeon, Acipenser ruthenus. ASIAN-AUSTRALASIAN JOURNAL OF ANIMAL SCIENCES 2012; 25:1419-29. [PMID: 25049498 PMCID: PMC4093024 DOI: 10.5713/ajas.2012.12184] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/09/2012] [Revised: 06/13/2012] [Accepted: 06/11/2012] [Indexed: 11/27/2022]
Abstract
A series of studies were carried out to investigate the supplemental effects of dietary garlic extracts (GE) on whole body amino acids, whole body and muscle free amino acids, fatty acid composition and blood plasma changes in 6 month old juvenile sterlet sturgeon (Acipenser ruthenus). In the first experiment, fish with an average body weight of 59.6 g were randomly allotted to each of 10 tanks (two groups of five replicates, 20 fish/tank) and fed diets with (0.5%) or without (control) GE respectively, at the level of 2% of fish body weight per day for 5 wks. Whole body amino acid composition between the GE and control groups were not different (p>0.05). Among free amino acids in muscle, L-glutamic acid, L-alanine, L-valine, L-leucine and L-phenylalanine were significantly (p<0.05) higher in GE than in control. However, total whole body free amino acids were significantly lower in GE than in control (p<0.05). GE group showed higher EPA (C22:6n3) and DHA (C22:5n3) in their whole body than the other group (p<0.05). In the second experiment, the effects of dietary garlic extracts on blood plasma changes were investigated using 6 month old juvenile sterlet sturgeon averaging 56.5 g. Fish were randomly allotted to each of 2 tanks (300 fish/tank) and fed diets with (0.5%) or without (control) GE respectively, at the rate of 2% of body weight per day for 23 d. At the end of the feeding trial, blood was taken from the tail vein (n = 5, per group) at 1, 12, and 24 h after feeding, respectively. Blood plasma glucose, insulin and the other serological characteristics were also measured to assess postprandial status of the fish. Plasma glucose concentrations (mg/dl) between two groups (GE vs control) were significantly (p< 0.05) different at 1 (50.8 vs 62.4) and 24 h (57.6 vs 73.6) after feeding, respectively, while no significant difference (p>0.05) were noticed at 12 h (74.6 vs 73.0). Plasma insulin concentrations (μIU/ml) between the two groups were significantly (p<0.05) different at 1 (10.56 vs 5.06) and 24 h (32.56 vs 2.96) after feeding. The present results suggested that dietary garlic extracts could increase dietary glucose utilization through the insulin secretion, which result in improved fish body quality and feed utilization by juvenile sterlet sturgeon.

Abstract
Teleost fishes represent a highly diverse group consisting of more than 20,000 species living across all aquatic environments. This group has significant economical, societal and environmental impacts, yet research efforts have concentrated primarily on salmonid and cyprinid species. This review examines carbohydrate/glucose metabolism and its regulation in these model species including the role of hormones and diet. Over the past decade, molecular tools have been used to address some of the downstream components of these processes and these are incorporated to better understand the roles played by carbohydrates and their regulatory paths. Glucose metabolism remains a contentious area as many fish species are traditionally considered glucose intolerant and, therefore, one might expect that the use and storage of glucose would be considered of minor importance. However, the actual picture is not so clear since the apparent intolerance of fish to carbohydrates is not evident in herbivorous and omnivorous species and even in carnivorous species, glucose is important for specific tissues and/or for specific activities. Thus, our aim is to up-date carbohydrate metabolism in fish, placing it to the context of these new experimental tools and its relationship to dietary intake. Finally, we suggest that new research directions ultimately will lead to a better understanding of these processes.

Abstract
SUMMARY
The relative glucose intolerance of carnivorous fish species is often proposed to be a result of poor peripheral insulin action or possibly insulin resistance. In the present study, data from aortic cannulated rainbow trout receiving bovine insulin (75 mIU kg−1) injections show for the first time their ability to clear glucose in a very efficient manner. In another set of experiments, mRNA transcripts and protein phosphorylation status of proteins controlling glycaemia and glucose-related metabolism were studied during both acute and chronic treatment with bovine insulin. Our results show that fasted rainbow trout are well adapted at the molecular level to respond to increases in circulating insulin levels, and that this hormone is able to potentially improve glucose distribution and uptake by peripheral tissues. After acute insulin administration we found that to counter-regulate the insulin-induced hypoglycaemia, trout metabolism is strongly modified. This short-term, efficient response to hypoglycaemia includes a rapid, coordinated response involving the reorganization of muscle and liver metabolism. During chronic insulin treatment some of the functions traditionally attributed to insulin actions in mammals were observed, including increased mRNA levels of glucose transporters and glycogen storage (primarily in the muscle) as well as decreased mRNA levels of enzymes involved in de novo glucose production (in the liver). Finally, we show that the rainbow trout demonstrates most of the classic metabolic adjustments employed by mammals to efficiently utilize glucose in the appropriate insulin context.

Amino acids are more important insulinotropins than glucose in a teleost fish, barfin flounder (Verasper moseri). Gen Comp Endocrinol 2007; 151:308-17.

Abstract
The insulinotropic effects of eighteen L-amino acids, two D-amino acids, and glucose were investigated to evaluate the priority of those as stimulators of insulin secretion in barfin flounder (Verasper moseri). This is also the first step in characterizing the insulinotropin-sensing molecule. After intramuscular injection of amino acids or glucose at doses of 3.50 and 1.75 mmol/kg body weight, plasma was collected periodically to determine plasma insulin level. Twelve amino acids and glucose showed insulinotropic effects. Four L-amino acids (Arg, Ala, Met, Ser) produced significantly higher integrated levels of plasma insulin (12.4-34.8 ng/ml) than glucose (average: 4.7 ng/ml) during 3h after injection. D-Amino acids (Arg, Ala) showed no activity. This indicates that many amino acids have strong insulinotropic activities and supports a classic idea, which is well known but has not been confirmed, that amino acids rather than glucose are the important insulinotropins in fish. This study also indicates that the insulinotropic activity of amino acids is restricted to L-amino acids and establishes which amino acids are the strongest stimulators of the insulinotropin sensor in barfin flounder. Co-injection of insulin and L-Thr, L-Ala, or glucose produced a hypoglycemic and hypoaminoacidemic state, indicating that insulin can lower blood amino acid level as well as blood sugar level. This study suggests that insulin plays a more important role than glucose in the regulation of blood L-amino acid metabolism, at least in flounder.

Abstract
Teleost fish are generally considered to be glucose intolerant. This mini-review examines some of the background and the possible mechanistic bases for this statement. Glucose intolerance is a clinical mammalian term meaning that a glucose load results in persistent hyperglycemia. Teleost fish show persistent hyperglycemia that is generally coincident with transient hyperinsulinemia. The fact that teleost generally have high plasma insulin compared with mammals implies insulin-deficiency is not a suitable explanation for this persistent hyperglycemia. Instead, peripheral utilization of glucose is probably the principle cause of hyperglycemia. Recent evidence for muscle insulin receptors, glucose transporters and hexokinase/glucokinase is reviewed and future experimental directions are suggested. If by altering peripheral glucose utilization fish could become more glucose tolerant, costs to the aquaculture industry may be substantially reduced.

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
The physiological role of the catecholamines (CA), adrenaline and noradrenaline in fish has been frequently reviewed, but the metabolic consequences of these hormones have received less attention. The purpose of this review is to examine the recent literature dealing with CA actions on whole fish and tissue metabolism. The CA increase glucose production both in vivo and in vitro, at least in isolated hepatocytes. Although the data are less clear, lipid mobilization is also a consequence of elevated circulating CA. The difficulty with using the whole fish for such studies is that CA may alter other circulating hormone levels, CA turnover in the circulation quickly, and it is difficult to define precisely the tissue being affected. Much of our understanding is derived, therefore, from the study of isolated tissues, and especially the hepatocyte. Catecholamines stimulate both glycogenolysis and gluconeogenesis in hepatocytes isolated from a large number of fish species. This review examines the steps involved in the signal transduction system, from the binding of CA to alpha- and beta-adrenoceptors to the ultimate effects of specific enzyme phosphorylation. Recent literature demonstrates that the complexity of the adrenoceptor system noted for mammals, also is expressed in fish. Adrenoceptor subtypes are specific to species, to tissues and to function of the tissues, and these issues are discussed especially as they are related to external and to internal stressors. Future research will pursue better definitions of the adrenoceptor systems, molecular biology of the components of these receptor systems and development of alternative cell models. There still remains a poor explanation of the reason for the diversity of adrenoceptor systems, and there are a number of fish systems that may provide unique opportunities to understand this question.

Abstract
The importance of epinephrine as a counterregulatory hormone in hypoglycemia is still debated. In the American eel (Anguilla rostrata), a species particularly sensitive to the hyperglycemic effect of exogenous epinephrine, insulin-induced hypoglycemia does not provoke an increase of plasma catecholamines; nor does a 35-fold rise of endogenous epinephrine within 5 min cause a statistically significant hyperglycemia. Together with findings in several other species of greatly varying phylogenetic position, these observations suggest that in vertebrates plasma epinephrine does not have significant, if any, glucoregulatory functions.

Abstract
The effect of oral administration of insulin, in various concentrations, on the growth of European eels (Anguilla anguilla L.) was studied. In order to determine whether the insulin penetrated through the stomach or gills to the blood system, 5 ml insulin, suspended in an 0.6% solution of NaCl, was inserted via the mouth of eels, and the insulin content in the blood measured by radioimmunoassay immediately, and at one and two hours after administration. A control group was given 0.6% NaCl alone. Significantly increased levels of insulin in the blood plasma were found in eels which received high insulin concentrations compared to the control group. Eels administered 20 ppm and 40 ppm insulin in the diet grew significantly faster than a control group fed a diet without insulin, and a group fed 5 ppm insulin.

Abstract
Juvenile sea bass (Dicentrarchus labrax) were fasted for 22 days and changes in plasma insulin, glucagon and glucose levels, as well as glycogen and protein content in liver and muscle were analyzed. Glucagon increased initially on the 4th day of fasting. The glucagon/insulin ratio (G/I) increased from a value of 0.11±0.02 (24h of fasting) to 0.21±0.05 (4th day of fasting). Thereafter, both glucagon and insulin levels decreased and remained at low concentrations until the 22nd day of fasting. Plasma glucose levels fell at the beginning of fasting, stabilized between the 4th and 8th day, and gradually declined during the rest of the experiment. There was a body weight loss of 15% and a significant decrease in both the hepatosomatic index and mesenteric fat. The decrease in the percentage of muscle proteins was not significant, while liver glycogen content showed a sharp decline.

Abstract
Juvenile coho salmon (Oncorhynchus kisutch) were placed on five dietary regimes: fed 1 week, fasted 1 week, fed 3 weeks, fasted 3 weeks, and fasted 1 week/refed 2 weeks. Plasma levels of glucose, fatty acids, insulin, glucagon, and glucagon-like peptide (GLP) and the activities of key metabolic enzymes were determined. Plasma glucose levels in the fed control groups were 98.4 +/- 3.4 (SEM) and 104.8 +/- 4.7 mg/dl at 1 and 3 weeks, respectively. Plasma glucose in the fasted 1 week group was significantly elevated to 128.8 +/- 9.2 mg/dl. Animals fasted 3 weeks or fasted 1 week/refed 2 weeks displayed plasma glucose levels similar to those of fed animals. Fasted groups possessed significantly less liver glycogen than fed or fasted/refed groups. Plasma fatty acids were elevated only after 3 weeks of fasting (from 0.39 +/- 0.04 microEq/ml to 0.61 +/- 0.06 microEq/ml). This response was reflected in elevated liver lipase activity (from 6.02 +/- 0.44 nmol fatty acid released/hr/mg protein to 14.22 +/- 0.90 units). No significant alterations in liver lipogenesis, assessed by glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase activity and by 3H2O incorporation into fatty acids, were observed. Gluconeogenic flux, determined indirectly through kinetic parameters of pyruvate kinase, was enhanced in animals fasted 3 weeks and in animals recovering from a 1-week fast. Plasma insulin levels were highest in fed groups (7.7 +/- 2.3 and 5.9 +/- 1.4 ng/ml at 1 week and 3 weeks, respectively) and were significantly depressed in fasted groups. Plasma levels of glucagon and GLP were also depressed in fasted groups. These results indicate that plasma glucose levels are maintained in salmon during fasting and that fasting-induced hyperlipidemia is mediated by lipolytic enzyme activity. Insulin, glucagon, and GLP may interact with these enzyme systems to coordinate nutritional metabolism of fish.

Groups of juvenile brook trout (Salvelinus fontinalis) were acclimated to 12.0-13.0 degrees dechlorified water and a photoperiod of 12 hr light: 12 hr dark. Recombinant human growth hormone (hGH) (10.0 micrograms/g body wt) or insulin-like growth factor 1 (hIGF-1), used in a wide range of dosages (0.001-10.0 micrograms/g body wt), were given weekly as intramuscular injections. The fish receiving hGH were already significantly heavier and longer than the saline-injected control fish after 3 weeks of treatment. In addition, a liver specific growth promoting effect of hGH was found. In contrast, hIGF-1 did not stimulate body growth in any dosage tested. The fish receiving the highest dosages of hIGF-1 were all seriously affected with retarded body growth and high mortality. A possible insulin-like activity of hIGF-1 was verified by measuring the plasma glucose and amino acid levels in brook trout after a single injection of hIGF-1 (2.0 micrograms/g body wt) or bovine insulin (0.01 IU/g body wt). Both hormones caused a reduction in both glucose and amino acid levels to 35% of the control levels 24-72 hr after injection. The results strongly suggest that hIGF-1 does not stimulate growth, but that in high dosages causes profound insulin-like effects in brook trout resulting in hypoglycemia and hypoaminoacidemia.

Abstract
Juvenile sea bass, 1.5 years old, of mixed sex, held on long photoperiods were fed early on the photoperiod and late on the photoperiod, using different diets. Fish fed natural diets showed a daily rhythmicity of plasma insulin, liver c-AMP, plasma glucose, liver glycogen and muscle glycogen content, however, fish fed a commercial diet did not show this daily rhythmicity except for plasma insulin levels. In addition, these fish had significantly lower levels of plasma insulin, liver c-AMP and plasma glycerol than the group fed on the natural diets at similar feeding times. The time of feeding also induced different rhythmicity patterns in hormones and metabolites as well as a significant change in their mean levels. These facts are discussed in relation with the pre-feeding activity and increased appetite exhibited by the fish fed late on the photoperiod and with their implications on fish culture.

Abstract
Five antisera against insulin (Ins), glucagon (Glu), somatostatin (SRIF), met-enkephalin (met-enk), and serotonin (5-HT) were used for immunofluorescence detection of endocrine cells in pancreas and gastrointestinal tract (GIT) of the European eel (Anguilla anguilla L.) at three stages of development (leptocephalic larva, glass-eel, and adult eel). Comparable distribution of endocrine cells was observed for adults and glass-eels. In their pancreatic islets, positive immunoreactions were obtained only for Ins, SRIF, and Glu; this later was also present in the pancreatic ducts. 5-HT cells were present throughout the GIT. SRIF cells were situated mostly in the stomach and less in the intestine. Met-enk cells were abundant in the pyloric cecum, but less frequent in the intestinal mucosa. Glu cells were present only in the intestine. No insulin-immunoreactive cells could be detected in the GIT. The pancreatic islets of leptocephalic larvae exhibited a strong reaction for SRIF, a weak reaction for Glu, and none at all for Ins, met-Enk, or 5-HT. The GIT of these larvae contained numerous met-enk cells, mainly in the foregut. In the fore- and midgut, cells exhibited a weak fluorescence after treatment with Glu antiserum. No positive immunoreactive cells were observed with 5-HT, SRIF, or Ins antisera.

Abstract
Serial blood samples were collected from the unfed spiny dogfish shark (Squalus acanthias) by use of a cannula chronically implanted in the dorsal aorta. Plasma glucose, alanine, lactate, and beta-hydroxybutyrate levels were estimated by standard enzymatic procedures. The metabolite levels were estimated immediately after the surgery, for an additional 3 to 5 postoperative days before experimental use, and for 7 to 9 days after a single infusion of mammalian insulin (50, 100, and 250 IU/kg body wt) or the control solution. Plasma glucose, alanine, and lactate levels declined for 1 or 2 days after the surgery, but beta-hydroxybutyrate levels were essentially unchanged. Plasma glucose levels remained relatively stable for the remainder of the pretreatment period, and in the control animals during the subsequent treatment period. In contrast, plasma alanine and beta-hydroxybutyrate levels increased during both the pretreatment period and the treatment period in the control animals. Plasma lactate levels increased in the control animals after Day 3 of the treatment period. Insulin infusions resulted in severe, prolonged depressions of plasma glucose and alanine levels. Plasma lactate levels also fell after insulin infusion, but the depressed levels were interrupted by precipitous, large increases, followed by sharp declines, that were evident for one to three sampling periods and whose onset varied between Days 3 and 5 in individual animals. The levels increased again in some animals between Days 6 and 9. Plasma beta-hydroxybutyrate levels were comparatively resistant to insulin. After an early decline, plasma beta-hydroxybutyrate rose to levels that were near the control levels by Days 2 through 4, but fell to near the initial levels by Day 5 and thereafter. The results suggest that the spiny dogfish, a species that consumes reliable and abundant amounts of protein and lipid, but little carbohydrate, and that may feed as seldom as every 2 weeks, uses ketone bodies (beta-hydroxybutyrate and presumably acetoacetate) as primary fuels. Glucose is apparently synthesized by gluconeogenesis, alanine and lactate are probable substrates, and ketone bodies are the likely sources of energy. The evidence supports the hypothesis that glucose is synthesized to maintain muscle glycogen reserves that are used for anaerobic glycolysis when the animal is engaged in predation, escape, or other circumstances that dictate vigorous swimming. If other tissues and organs require glucose as a fuel source, the amounts must be exceptionally small.

Abstract
The isolated and perfused catfish liver showed (a) a decrease in liver glycogen, (b) a continuous increase in glucose output, and (c) a decrease of lactate in the medium. Insulin did not influence liver glycogen decay during the first 2 hr; thereafter the hormone induced an increase of glycogen, particularly when glucose was added into perfusate. In insulin treated liver, the glucose output was lower than controls in the first hours of perfusion; thereafter a re-uptake of glucose occurred. After 2-3 hr of perfusion, the lactate present in the medium was increased by insulin towards the starting level. The long lasting effects of insulin on catfish in vivo were confirmed.

Abstract
Significant and inverse circadian rhythms are demonstrated in glucose and plasma insulin in fish fed a natural diet. The highest glucose levels are found during the light period, around feeding time, and the insulin level peaks during the dark period. As a possible cause for the insulin rhythmicity, the daily variations in several plasma amino acids are considered. The feeding times could be a training factor for metabolic rhythms, which are maintained even during a fast of 7 days. The differences in the compositions of the diets could be responsible for the lack of circadian rhythms in fish fed on a commercial diet.

Abstract
Metabolic effects of pancreatectomy and hypophysectomy are investigated in the yellow American eel, Anguilla rostrata, fasted for 6 months. The results are compared with the findings in freshly captured eels subjected to the same operations. In intact animals, fasting causes a statistically significant decrease in serum amino acid nitrogen (AAN), serum urea, and relative liver weight, and an increase in serum free fatty acids (FFA), serum cholesterol, and tissue hydration. Serum glucose, liver and muscle glycogen, liver and muscle fatty acids, and abdominal fat stores do not show significant alterations. The absence of diabetes mellitus after pancreatectomy, seen in previous studies, is confirmed. However, pancreatectomy affects fewer parameters in fasting eels than in fed ones. After hypophysectomy, the situation is similar; only serum AAN shows an impact of the operation in fasted eels. As in freshly captured eels, surgical stress seems to affect almost all metabolic parameters. It appears that the smaller impact of both pancreatectomy and hypophysectomy in fasted eels reflects the reduced role of hormones in the state of lowered metabolism.

Abstract
The in vivo dynamics of bolus-injected, unlabelled bovine insulin in eels (Anguilla anguilla L.), analysed by compartmental and noncompartmental methods, were found to be significantly influenced by acclimation temperature and insulin dose level. At 12 degrees, plasma clearance of insulin was essentially monoexponential, whereas at 22 degrees, the disappearance curves could be resolved into two exponential components. Metabolic clearance rate (MCR) and apparent distribution volume (Vdist) of insulin were significantly higher at 22 degrees than 12 degrees, and irrespective of temperature, MCR was more rapid at a lower (130 mU/kg) than a higher (260 mU/kg) dose, while Vdist was more variable in this respect. These results indicate that the dynamics of insulin in eels are temperature-sensitive, and that over the dose range employed, routes of insulin elimination are saturable. Of particular significance were the inordinately high values for derived Vdist indicating that following bolus injection, substantial loss of the hormone occurred.

Abstract
Mammalian insulin (350 IU/kg) and glucagon (2.5 mg/kg) were injected intraperitoneally into Pimelodus maculatus, a South American teleost. Extent of carbohydrate regulation was estimated through determination of plasma glucose levels, liver-somatic index, and liver and muscle glycogen contents. The effects of insulin administration, examined 6, 12, 24, 48, and 72 hr after injection, were manifested as a depletion of liver glycogen content after 12 hr and severe decrease in plasma glucose content after 24 hr; insulin had no effect on muscle glycogen or liver-somatic index. The effects of glucagon administration, examined 5, 15, 30, 90, and 360 min after injection, were a small increase in liver glycogen content after 15 min, and hyperglycemia, apparent after 30 min. Glucagon did not affect muscle glycogen or liver-somatic index. Control animals were injected intraperitoneally with saline solution. These results suggest that insulin and glucagon regulate the carbohydrate metabolism of P. maculatus by hormonal mechanisms similar to those operating in other teleost species and in mammals.

Abstract
The effect of insulin was studied on blood glucose, and on the glycogen level of liver, muscles and heart in fed and in starved catfish (Ictalurus melas). Fish received intraperitoneally 60 iu/kg body weight of bovine insulin, or physiological saline and were sacrificed after 2, 4, 8, 24, 72 hr from injection. Insulin caused a decrease of blood glucose level, both in fed and in fasted animals, and the effect is more evident in fed animals. After insulin treatment, liver glycogen shows a decrease which is significant at the 8th and 24th hr in fasted and in fed animals respectively; after 72 hr the glycogen level in livers of fed and fasted animals is still very low. Insulin increases the glycogen level both in white and in dark muscle, both in fed and in fasted fish, although with different characteristics, but at the 72nd hr in all animals, the increases are significant. Hormone treatment does not change heart glycogen levels in fed catfish till the 24th hr, then there is a net decrease; in starved animals the decrease begins at the 2nd hr, but only at the 48th hr is it significant. The role of insulin was discussed in relation to the lowering of glycogen concentration in liver, in connection with the fact that many authors found different and even opposite effects of this hormone in various fish. It is possible that the glycogen depletion observed in liver after insulin injection is not due to a direct action of this hormone, but depends on the stimulated production of other specific glycogenolytic hormones, such as epinephrine and/or glucagon.

Abstract
A histological study of the pancreatic islets in rainbow trout, Salmo gairdneri, was undertaken in which polypeptide hormones-producing cells were localized, using immunocytochemical staining techniques. Four different cell-types were identified in this manner. These were the insulin, somatostatin, pancreatic polypeptide and glucagon/gastric inhibitory polypeptide (GIP) cells. The glucagon/GIP cell was designated thus as antisera to both hormones cross-reacted with a common population of cells. A fifth cell-type, commonly referred to as a clear cell, was also identified although its secretory product is as yet undetermined. These functional cell types were compared to the standard tinctorial properties of pancreatic endocrine cells. The relationships of the various cell types with each other was also observed.
