Abstract :
Abstract Adropin and preptin have an important role in a range of physiological functions, from regulation of food intake to reproduction, immune function, energy expenditure, and lipid and carbohydrate metabolism. In this study, adropin and preptin levels were determined in the serum of Cyprinion macrostomus. The results were then compared based on gender. At the same time, the levels of these hormones were compared depending on length and weight. Hormone levels were measured by ELISA (Enzyme Labeled-Immunosorbent Analysis) method. It was determined that there was no significant difference between fish of different sexes in terms of adropin level in C. macrostomus (p > 0.05), but there was a statistically significant difference in terms of preptin level (p < 0.05). No correlation was found between serum adropin level of C. macrostomus and length (r = 0.76, p = 0.06) and weight (r = 0.136, p = 0.916).
