REVIEW
Roles of insulin-like growth factors in metamorphic development of turbot (Scophthalmus maximus).
General and Comparative Endocrinology 2018 September 2
Larval turbot (Scophthalmus maximus) undergo metamorphosis, a late post-embryonic developmental event that precedes juvenile transition. Insulin-like growth factors (IGFs) are important endocrine/autocrine/paracrine factors that provide essential signals to control of the embryonic and postnatal development of vertebrate species, including fish. Accumulating evidence suggests that IGFs are involved in regulating the metamorphic development of flatfish. This mini review focus on the functions of all known IGFs (IGF-I and IGF-II) during the metamorphic development of turbot. Information about IGFs and insulin-like growth factors binding proteins (IGFBPs) from other teleosts is also included in this review to provide an overview of IGFs functions in the metamorphic development of turbot. These findings may enhance our understanding of the potential roles of the IGFs system in controlling of flatfish metamorphosis and contributing to the improvement of broodstock management strategies for larval turbot.
