      •Cloned the 5α-reductase type I and 3α-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase (3α-HSD) independently, via experiments including primer designing, plasmid restructuring and electrophoresis.•Injected Neuropeptide Y (NPY) into Tilapia’s Ventricle and detected the expression quantity change of 5α-reductase type I and 3α-HSD with the aid of RT-PCR.•Found out that the THP density of 1ug/g has the best promoting effect on the Tilapia’s food consumption by comparing four groups with different injection densities.
