Abstract:
... Studies report beneficial effects of 3-hydroxybutyrate (3-OHB) on the treatment of type 2 diabetes and obesity, but the effects of 3-OHB on diabetic nephropathy have not been elucidated. This study was designed to investigate the efficacy and mechanism of 3-OHB against progression of diabetic nephropathy (DN). Mice (db/db) were fed normal chow, high-fat, or ketogenic diets (KD) containing precurso ...

Abstract:
... Variance components and heritabilities for daily weight gain (DWG) were estimated for Nile tilapia farmed in cages across nine generations (G1–G9) of selection in a breeding program in Brazil. DWG was measured in 16,272 accumulated tagged animals representing 535 full‐ and half‐sib families of Nile tilapia under cage farming. The additive genetic variance showed a slight variation (0.051–0.066), a ...

Abstract:
... Some plant traits may be legacies of coevolution with extinct megafauna. One example is the convergent evolution of ‘divaricate’ cage architectures in many New Zealand lineages, interpreted as a response to recently extinct flightless avian browsers whose ancestors arrived during the Paleogene period. Although experiments have confirmed that divaricate habit deters extant browsers, its abundance o ...

Abstract:
... Cryptophane cages can adopt either an anti or syn configuration that present different recognition properties. While the synthesis of anti-cryptophanes is well reported, the synthesis of syn-cryptophanes remains a challenge. Herein, we demonstrate that the use of HFIP as a co-solvent during the second ring closure reaction significantly affects the regioselectivity, providing easier access to the ...

Abstract:
... Wild capture can be stressful for fish. Stress has the potential to induce mortality in released unwanted catches or negative flesh quality consequences in retained ones. Such effects compromise sustainable natural resource management and industry profitability. Mitigating stress during capture is therefore desirable.

However, the sources of C. irritans infection in cage culture farms are still unclear. Previous studies confirmed many cases of biological fouling on the nets of the culture cages. Therefore, we speculate that fouling may be a key infection source of the cryptocaryoniosis outbreaks. Th ...
