  Presence of Neurosteroids and Expression of Neuropeptides in the Brain of Indian Salmon, Eleutheronema tetradactylum
  Author(s): Malini H, Kalarani A, Vinodha V and Inbaraj RM*
  
  The Indian Salmon (Eleutheronema tetradactylum) is one of the most commercially significant species with high nutritional value. This species of fish was abundantly available in India during the early 1950s but it has been fast declining in the Indian coast in the recent years due to over exploitation and overfishing. Besides, there is very limited genomic information available on this species. The present study encompasses brain steroid profile using HPLC (high-performance liquid chromatography) and gene expression analysis of peptides such as leptin receptor and insulin receptor-a in the brain of the fish using RT-PCR (Real Time-Polymerase Chain Reaction). The presence of different concentrations of steroids such as progesterone and pregnenolone were recorded in the whole brain of immature and vitellogenic female samples. On the other hand, the..
