Ghrelin, neuropeptide Y (NPY) and cholecystokinin (CCK) in blunt snout bream ( Megalobrama amblycephala ): cDNA cloning, tissue distribution and mRNA expression changes responding to fasting and refeeding

Highlights • Full-length cDNAs of ghrelin, NPY and CCK were cloned in blunt snout bream. • Deduced amino acid sequences of ghrelin, NPY and CCK were analyzed. • Ghrelin was mainly expressed in the intestine, and NPY and CCK in the brain. • Ghrelin and NPY had opposite role of CCK responding to fasti...
