Effects of food intake on relaxin 3 (Rxn3) mRNA expression in the muscle of Atlantic salmon
The Rxn3 is a protein that belongs to the insulin‐like/relaxin superfamily and affect various physiological functions, including growth, food intake, and reproduction. Evidence in rodents suggests that Rxn3 is involved in the regulation of food intake and critical for proper development of muscle an...
