In this episode of The APS Publications Podcast, Brian D. Ott highlights the recently published paper titled "Hypothalamic transcriptome response to simulated diel earthen pond hypoxia cycles in channel catfish (Ictalurus punctatus)." Channel catfish are an economically important species that experience diel episodic periods of hypoxia that can reduce appetite. This is the first study to investigate their transcriptome from the hypothalamus in a simulated 24-h span in a commercial catfish pond, with 12 h of hypoxia and 12 h of normoxia. The research revealed functional groups of genes relating to hypoxia, angiogenesis, and glycolysis as well as individual target genes possibly involved in appetite regulation.
