Overview

Silvia Zanuy is affiliated with the Spanish National Research Council in Spain and specializes in the fields of Biochemistry, Genetics and Molecular Biology, with a strong focus on Physiology, Genetics, and Aquatic Science. Their research spans several subfields including Cellular and Molecular Neuroscience and Reproductive Medicine.

The main topics addressed in Zanuy's work encompass reproductive biology and its impacts on aquatic species, genetic and clinical aspects of sex determination and chromosomal abnormalities, aquaculture nutrition and growth, animal genetics and reproduction, neuropeptides and animal physiology, hypothalamic control of reproductive hormones, and reproductive biology and fertility.

Their scholarly output includes publications in notable journals such as General and Comparative Endocrinology, Aquaculture, and the International Journal of Molecular Sciences. Among recent papers authored or coauthored by Zanuy are:

  • Generation and use of recombinant gonadotropins in fish, 2020, General and Comparative Endocrinology
  • Long-term feeding of a maintenance ration affects the release of Igf-1 and leptin, and delays maturation in a male teleost fish, Dicentrarchus labrax L., 2020, Aquaculture
  • Galanin isoforms by alternative splicing: Structure, expression, and immunohistochemical location in the gonads of European sea bass, 2021, General and Comparative Endocrinology
  • Functional Activity of Recombinant Forms of Amh and Synergistic Action with Fsh in European Sea Bass Ovary, 2021, International Journal of Molecular Sciences
  • Differential action of androgen implants on the spermatogenesis of pre-pubertal sea bass exposed to a continuous light regime, 2021, Aquaculture

Zanuy collaborates frequently with a number of researchers, contributing jointly to several studies. Frequent coauthors include Gregorio Molés, Manuel Carrillo, Ana Gómez, Alicia Felip, and Krist Hausken.
