Metabolic Changes During Growth and Reproductive Phases in the Liver of Female Goldfish (Carassius auratus)
Bibliographic record
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 in the liver metabolism following acute treatments with GnRH and GnIH, known to be involved in controlling reproduction and growth in goldfish. Chemometrics combined with pathway-driven bioinformatics revealed significant changes in the basal and GnRH/GnIH-induced hepatic metabolic profile, indicating that metabolic energy allocation is regulated to support gonadal development and growth at different reproductive cycles. Overall, the findings support the hypothesis that hormonal control of reproduction involves accompanying metabolic changes to energetically support gonadotropic and somatotropic activities in goldfish and other oviparous vertebrates.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
