“…The TH treatment had positive effects on hatching rate and prevented mortality that occurred in controls around the time of first feeding (D‐3 to D‐5; Figure ) as reported by Brown (). Patterns of differences in hatch rate, growth and survival in response to T 3 are in agreement with previously reported effects of maternally derived THs during early development (see Lam, ; reviewed by Brown et al, ). It is interesting to note that some indications of improved growth and survival were induced by the thyroid treatment even in the presence of the IGF‐1Rb agent; this suggests that some development promotion by T 3 is likely not transduced directly by IGF‐1, but rather that there is some degree of cross‐talk between the two development‐promoting signalling mechanisms, as reported in human cells (Krieger, Morgan, Neumann, & Gershengorn, ).…”

“…Urbinati, Vasques, Senhorini, Souza, and Goncalves () attributed improved early performance of TH‐treated fish to advanced initial feeding of larvae. Some evidence suggests that acceleration of the maturation of fin, digestive, swim bladder and other organ systems may improve survival at the critical time of first feeding (as data in Figure suggest; reviewed by Brown et al, ), by contributing to improved feeding and nutrition. Advancement of swim bladder maturation in the striped bass ( Morone saxatilis ; Brown, Doroshov, et al, ) was associated with an improved survival rate (Brown, Cochran, Doroshov, & Bern, ).…”

Maternally derived thyroid hormones (THs) deposited in yolk promote fish embryogenesis and survival, and understanding early regulatory mechanisms could lead to improved seedstock production. We have tested the hypothesis that some thyroid actions may be mediated by insulin‐like growth factor I (IGF‐1), another promoter of embryo development. Differentiation and performance were assessed in embryos treated with THs in the presence or absence of an IGF‐1 receptor blocking peptide. Treatment with the TH triiodothyronine (T3) promoted IGF‐1 gene expression at days 1 and 5, and advanced swim bladder and eye development, but blocking the IGF‐1 receptor eliminated the swim bladder and eye effects. Growth and survival at 1 week of age were impaired by the IGF‐1 receptor blocking peptide alone, but concurrent treatment with T3 partially restored these indices. Our results confirm interaction of T3 and IGF‐1 regulatory signalling in zebrafish embryogenesis and transduction by IGF‐1 of thyroid‐driven swim bladder and eye maturation.

“…In tilapia spp., T3 and T2 are both able to stimulate somatic growth at least in part via increased hepatic production of insulin‐like growth factor (Navarrete‐Ramírez et al, ). Thyroid hormone, however, may interact with other hormones to regulate fish growth (Brown et al, ; Farbridge & Leatherland, ) and in some species can stimulate synthesis and secretion of growth hormone by the pituitary gland (Bergan‐Roller & Sheridan, ). The present study did not examine T2, but plasma T3 and T4 levels were elevated within 4 days of T4 injection at the low (T 1 ) and high (T 10 ) doses indicating, as expected, the rapid transformation of T4 into T3.…”

“…Some reported that TH can stimulate synthesis of fatty acid (FA) and cholesterol (CHOL) in various species (Blennemann, Leahy, Kim, & Freake, 1995;Hapon, Varas, Gimenez, & Jahn, 2007;Plisetskaya, Woo, & Murat, 1983;Varghese & Oommen, 1999), but others found that TH caused lipolysis (for instance FA and CHOL degradation) and decreased lipid deposition (Kremser et al, 1991;Ness & Lopez, 1995;Sheridan, 1986Sheridan, , 1994. Moreover, while some studies reported that survival and growth of some species can be enhanced by TH administration (Blanton & Specker, 2007;Brown, Urbinati, Zhang, Brown, & McComb-Kobza, 2014;Navarrete-Ramírez et al, 2011), others found no effects (Moav & McKeon, 1992;Yamano, 2005), or even toxic (inhibitory) effects on survival or growth (Abrahams & Pratt, 2000;Moon, MacKenzie, & Gatlin, 1994;Rousseau, Le Belle, Marchelidon, & Dufour, 1999;Sharma & Patiño, 2013). Some of these conflicting observations may be due to methodological differences among studies but are also likely that the actions of TH on metabolism and growth are complex and vary from species to species in certain respects.…”

Short‐term physiological role of thyroxine administration on plasma metabolites and growth performance of Sterlet sturgeon Acipenser ruthenus

Thyroid hormones (THs) play important roles in regulating growth, development and physiological functions in vertebrates. To study the role of short‐term effects of thyroxine (T4) on metabolism and growth in female Sterlet sturgeon, thirty fish with a weight of 707.97 ± 37.15 g were divided into six tanks. Fish were injected intraperitoneal with (a) coconut oil alone (control), (b) 1 mg T4 kg per BW in coconut oil (T1) and (c) 10 mg T4 kg per BW in coconut oil (T10). Blood samples were collected at 0, 4, 7, 14, 28 and 60 days for plasma biochemical analysis, and body length and mass were determined at day 60. Based on results, higher growth was indicated in T10 group. The highest T4 levels were observed on day 4 in the T1 and T10 treatments and gradually declined during the trial. Plasma T3 levels were highest on days 4 and 7 in the T1 and T10 groups, respectively. Plasma triglyceride levels were significantly elevated on day 28 in the T1 group and on day 60 in the T10 group. Plasma glucose concentrations were significantly elevated on days 7 and 14 in T10 group. Overall, the present results suggest that a single injection of T4 can improve growth via changes in the metabolic profile of Sterlet sturgeon.

“…It is probable that hormones interact with one another in the regulation of development and their additive or synergistic effects (Ban 2005). Cortisol promotes the conversion of the inactive prohormone T4 into T3 by activating outer ring deiodinase activity (Vijayan, Flett & Leatherland 1988;Redding, Patino & Schreck 1991;Arjona, Vargas-Chacoff, del Rio, Flik & Mancera 2011), and increasing the T3/T4 ratio is one mechanism by which cortisol promotes thyroid-mediated processes (Brown, Urbinati, Zhang, Brown & McComb-Kobza 2014).…”

Digestive enzyme profile is a good indicator of the nutritional and health status of the fish. The present investigation aims to evaluate the effect of exogenous bath treatment of hormones, cortisol and triiodothyronine, on the digestive enzyme activities and growth of carp Catla catla (Ham.) during ontogenic development. Catla larvae (4 days old) were given bath treatment with cortisol (hydrocortisone, 0.2 mg L À1 ), 3,5,3 0 -triiodothyronine (T3, 2.5 mg L À1 ) and a combination of cortisol and T3 for 30 min. Digestive enzyme profile was recorded on every third day and was continued for 30 days. Larvae were fed with live food for initial 14 days and then weaned to mix feeding of live food and prepared diet. Significantly (P < 0.05) higher amylase, total protease, trypsin, chymotrypsin, lipase, chitinase and chitinobiase activities were found in the hormone-treated groups compared to the control one during ontogenic development. Among the treated groups, amylase activity was highest in cortisol-treated larvae. Total protease, trypsin, chymotrypsin, lipase, chitinase and chitinobiase activities were significantly (P < 0.05) higher in larvae exposed at combined treatment of cortisol and T3 compared to the other two groups in most sampling days. Average length, weight and specific growth rate of treated larvae were higher compared to the control one. The combined bath treatment of cortisol and triiodothyronine influenced the digestive enzyme activities of catla larvae and thereby enhanced the growth at early developmental stage. This helps the larvae to overcome the problems associated with early developmental stage.
