Metabolic Changes During Growth and Reproductive Phases in the Liver of Female Goldfish (Carassius auratus).

ABSTRACT: Hormones of the brain-pituitary-peripheral axis regulate metabolism, gonadal maturation, and growth in vertebrates. In fish, reproduction requires a significant energy investment to metabolically support the production of hundreds of eggs and billions of sperms in females and males, respectively. This study used an LC-MS-based metabolomics approach to investigate seasonally-related changes in metabolic profile and energy allocation patterns in female goldfish liver. We measured basal metabolic profile in female goldfish at three phases of the reproductive cycle, including 1) Maximum growth period in postovulatory regressed phase, 2) mid recrudescence in fish with developing follicles, and 3) late recrudescence when the ovary contains mature ovulatory follicles. We also investigated changes
