%X In the present study, a
model is suggested to describe hormone control in male blue gourami (<i><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">Trichogaster
trichopterus</span></i><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">) along the gonadotropic brain</span><span style=\"font-size:10pt;font-family:Verdana;\">-</span><span style=\"font-size:10pt;font-family:Verdana;\">pituitary</span><span style=\"font-size:10pt;font-family:Verdana;\">- </span><span style=\"font-size:10pt;font-family:Verdana;\">gonad axis (BPG axis) and the hypothalamic-pituitary-somatotropic
axis (HPS axis). This model is based on the cloning</span><span style=\"font-size:10.0pt;font-family:&quot;\"><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\"> and transcription of
genes encoding hormones of the two axes involved in spermatogenesis during blue
gourami reproduction. Gene transcription is affected by environmental,
biological, </span><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">and behavioral factors. Mature
males were examined in two different stages¡ªnonreproductive in high-density
habitats and reproductive in low-density </span><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">habitats. Based on gene
transcription, gonadotropin-releasing hormone 1 (GnRH1) was involved in
controlling spermatogenesis (spermatogonia to spermatids) via the BPG axis in
nonreproductive and reproductive stages by controlling follicle-stimulating
hormone (FSH), 11-ketotestosterone (11KT) and 17</span><i><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">¦Â</span></i><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">-estradiol (E</span><sub><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">2</span></sub><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">). However, GnRH3 had a larger effect
during the reproductive stage via the BPG axis (spermatids to sperm) on
luteinizing hormone (LH), 11KT, and 17</span><i><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">¦Á</span></i></span><span style=\"font-size:10pt;font-family:Verdana;\">-</span><span style=\"font-size:10pt;font-family:Verdana;\">hydroxyprogesterone (17P). At the same time, the HPS axis was involved in
spermatogenesis via pituitary adenylate cyclase-activating polypeptide (PACAP)
and its related peptide PRP (formerly known as GHRH-like peptide) in the brain,
and growth hormone (GH) in the pituitary affected synthesis of insulin-like
growth factor 1 (IGF1) in the liver.</span>
