  • Effects of Melatonin on Anterior Pituitary Plasticity: A Comparison Between Mammals and Teleosts 
    Ciani, Elia; Haug, Trude M; Maugars, Gersende Marie Aimee; Weltzien, Finn-Arne; Falcón, Jack; Fontaine, Romain (Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2021)
    Melatonin is a key hormone involved in the photoperiodic signaling pathway. In both teleosts and mammals, melatonin produced in the pineal gland at night is released into the blood and cerebrospinal fluid, providing rhythmic ...
  • Long extensions with varicosity-like structures in gonadotrope Lh cells facilitate clustering in medaka pituitary culture 
    Grønlien, Heidi Kristine; Fontaine, Romain; Hodne, Kjetil; Tysseng, Linn Isabelle; Ager-Wick, Eirill; Weltzien, Finn-Arne; Haug, Trude M (Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2021)
    Accumulating evidence indicates that some pituitary cell types are organized in complex networks in both mammals and fish. In this study, we have further investigated the previously described cellular extensions formed by ...
  • Preparation of a High-quality Primary Cell Culture from Fish Pituitaries 
    Ager-Wick, Eirill; Hodne, Kjetil; Fontaine, Romain; von Krogh, Kristine; Haug, Trude; Weltzien, Finn-Arne (Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2018)
