Apomorphine-induced growth hormone release in African catfish (Clarias gariepinus) is related to the animal's nutritional status

In African catfish the dopamine agonist apomorphine (APO) stimulates in vivo growth hormone (GH) release. The present study demonstrates that the potency of APO to stimulate plasma GH levels is affected by the nutritional status of the fish. The effect of starvation on APO induced GH release was inv...
