• A novel role for pigment genes in the stress response in rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) 

      Kahn, Uniza Wahid; Øverli, Øyvind; Hinkle, Patricia M.; Pasha, Farhan Ahmad; Johansen, Ida Beitnes; Berget, Ingunn; Silva, Patricia; Kittilsen, Silje; Höglund, Erik; Omholt, Stig William; Våge, Dag Inge (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2016)
      In many vertebrate species visible melanin-based pigmentation patterns correlate with high stress- and disease-resistance, but proximate mechanisms for this trait association remain enigmatic. Here we show that a missense ...
    • Dietary l-tryptophan leaves a lasting impression on the brain and the stress response 

      Höglund, Erik; Øverli, Øyvind; Andersson, Madelene Åberg; Silva, Patricia; Laursen, Danielle Caroline; Moltesen, Maria M; Krogdahl, Åshild; Schjolden, Joachim; Winberg, Svante; Vindas, Marco Antonio; Mayer, Ian; Hillestad, Marie (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)
      Comparative models suggest that effects of dietary tryptophan (Trp) on brain serotonin (5-hydroxytryptamine; 5-HT) neurochemistry and stress responsiveness are present throughout the vertebrate lineage. Moreover, hypothalamic ...
