A decrease in serum osmolality and increased cortisol levels were observed after acute transfer from seawater (SW) to freshwater (FW). The increased expressions of avt, avt receptor (avtr: v1a), and isotocin receptor (itr: itr1) transcripts on day 1 and it and itr transcripts on days 7 and 30 were found in the brains and pituitary glands of FW fish. Increased levels of avt mRNA in the diencephalon and avtr mRNA in the pituitary together with serum cortisol on day 1 of FW exposure indicated activation of the hypothalamic\u2013pituitary\u2013interrenal (HPI) axis. The expression levels of avtr and itr after FW transfer were increased in the pituitary on days 7 and 30. Furthermore, in situ hybridization demonstrated spatially differential expression of avt and itr transcripts in nucleus preopticus parvocellularis of pars gigantocellularis (PMgc), magnocellularis (PMmc), and parvocellularis (PMpc) of the preoptic area (POA). Positive signals for avt and it were highly abundant in PMpc after FW exposure. The data suggest involvement of neurohypophysial hormones in the brain (telencephalon and diencephalon) and pituitary for osmotic stress.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/cells10113086","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,11,9]],"date-time":"2021-11-09T12:46:23Z","timestamp":1636461983000},"page":"3086","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":8,"title":["Neurohypophysial Hormones Associated with Osmotic Challenges in the Brain and Pituitary of the Euryhaline Black Porgy, Acanthopagrus schlegelii"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"10","author":[{"given":"Adimoolam","family":"Aruna","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Aquaculture, National Taiwan Ocean University, Keelung 20224, Taiwan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Chien-Ju","family":"Lin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Aquaculture, National Pingtung University of Science and Technology, Pingtung 91230, Taiwan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-5713-7073","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Ganesan","family":"Nagarajan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Aquaculture, National Taiwan Ocean University, Keelung 20224, Taiwan"},{"name":"Department of Basic Sciences, PYD, King Faisal University, Al Hofuf 31982, Saudi Arabia"},{"name":"Center of Excellence for the Oceans, National Taiwan Ocean University, Keelung 20224, Taiwan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Ching-Fong","family":"Chang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Aquaculture, National Taiwan Ocean University, Keelung 20224, Taiwan"},{"name":"Center of Excellence for the Oceans, National Taiwan Ocean University, Keelung 20224, Taiwan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,11,9]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"S18","DOI":"10.1016\/j.cbpa.2010.06.050","article-title":"Melatonin, vasotocin and isotocin as biomarkers of the condition of fish","volume":"157","author":"Kulczykowska","year":"2010","journal-title":"Comp.
