A recent study conducted by researchers at Hebrew University of Jerusalem explored the role of somatostatin (SST) in regulating growth and reproductive hormones in tilapia fish. The study found that tilapia brain tissue contains three SST peptides and four different isoforms of the somatostatin receptor (SSTR) subfamily. The researchers also discovered that SSTRs were expressed in gonadotrophs, with sstr3a enriched in luteinizing hormone (LH) cells and sstr3b significantly enriched in follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) cells. The study suggests that further research on the somatostatin system and its mechanisms of action could advance reproductive control and management in cultured populations.
