Abstract/OtherAbstract:
Growth and mRNA levels of the pituitary adenylate cyclase-activating polypeptide (PACAP) and its related peptide (PRP), and the system controlled by the growth hormone (GH) and insulin-like growth factors (IGFs) were analyzed in pejerrey fry fed with graded levels of dietary lipids: 10% (L10), 13% (L13) and 21% (L21). First, the full sequence of pejerrey PRP-PACAP was obtained by RT-PCR, using primers based on conserved fragments of teleosts PACAP sequences. The growth of the fish at 83 days after hatching (dah) and the GH mRNA levels were not significantly affected by the dietary treatment. Conversely, PRP-PACAP expression significantly decreased with increasing dietary lipids (L10 > L21). While GH receptor (GHR)-I and IGF-I transcripts did not differ among groups, GHR-II transcripts decreased in group L21. IGF-II expression apparently followed the same trend. These results in combination with the lower expression of the anorexigenic PRP-PACAP in fish fed diet L21 and the correlation analysis evidencing a particularly fine tuning of the GH-IGF system in group L13, suggest that this diet may cover the energy demands for growing pejerrey from 27 dah onwards. Our results show for first time in fish a differential response of PRP-PACAP transcripts to dietary manipulations, and confirm the sensitivity of the pejerrey GH-IGF system to changes in diet composition despite the lack of (or in advance to) a clear response of somatic growth.
