Useful:

• Biological functions: UI was first isolated from the urophysis of the white sucker and has been shown to decrease blood pressure in the rat. UI modulates cortisol secretion either directly by acting on the steroidogenic cells of the interrenal tissue or indirectly via the hypothalamo-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis. The intraperitoneal injection of UI increases plasma cortisol levels in goldfish. UI stimulates ACTH release from superfused goldfish anterior pituitary cells; it also stimulates thyroid-stimulating hormone secretion from the pituitary cells of the coho salmon in vitro. UI is involved in the adaptability of fish regarding, for example, ion and fluid equilibrium, cardiovascular activity, and glucocorticoid release. In addition to the biological function on the HPA axis, a central injection of carp/goldfish UI suppresses food intake in a dosedependent manner in goldfish. The administration of UI also inhibits food intake in neonatal chicks.
• Description: A peptide hormone first isolated from the urophysis of the white sucker, urotensin-I, has been shown to decrease blood pressure in the rat.
