2 context sentences(design, population, supporting numbers)
The effect of estradiol-17beta (E(2)) implants on the in vitro secretion of prolactin (PRL) and its modulation by vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP) in a marine teleost, sea bream (Sparus aurata L.), was determined.
Fish were sacrificed after 7 days treatment and in vitro pituitary cultures in Ringer bicarbonate supplemented with increasing doses (0-200 nM) of VIP were carried out for 18 h.
