... Akirins are highly conserved, small, nuclear proteins that have been recognized as key regulators of multiple gene expression patterns and play important roles in immune responses. Previous studies on Akirins have mainly focused on the model species Drosophila and mice, while there have been few studies on fish. In the present study, two Akirin genes, Akirin1 and Akirin2, were identified from Mega ...
... Viral hemorrhagic septicemia (VHS) in olive flounder (Paralichthys olivaceus) causes considerable economic losses in the flounder aquaculture industry in Korea. This study was aimed to identify the immune-associated genes contributing to VHSV infection progression in the kidneys of the olive flounder. Ten fish were divided into two groups via an intraperitoneal injection with either diethylpyrocar ...
... The catfishes are a group of economically important freshwater fish in China, which in recent years have suffered heavy losses as a result of bacterial outbreaks. In this study, we examined the diversity of the microbiome of infected skin mucus of yellow catfish (Pelteobagrus fulvidraco) and channel catfish (Ictalurus punctatus) and analyzed the bacterial pathogens. We found several common pathoge ...

Abstract:
... Fourteen new grayanane-type diterpenes, and a known diterpene, 14β-O-(2S,3S-nilyl)-2α,3β,5β,6β,16α-pentahydroxygrayanane, were isolated from twigs of Craibiodendron henryi W. W. Smith. The structures of the new compounds were confirmed by extensive spectroscopy. The analgesic activities of Compounds 1–14 were evaluated by performing an acetic-acid-induced writhing test on mice. Compounds 1–5 and 9 ...

Abstract:
... A wide range of cognitive disorders, long-term potentiation (LTP) disorders, and biochemical changes have been reported in labyrinthectomy situations in the hippocampus of rodents. In order to investigate whether exercise and/or curcumin induce LTP and increase neurons in the hippocampus of unilateral labyrinthectomy male rats, after undergoing labyrinthectomy, animals were subjected to treadmill ...

Abstract:
... Progressive podocyte loss is a feature of healthy ageing. While previous studies have reported age-related changes in podocyte number, density and size and associations with proteinuria and glomerulosclerosis, few studies have examined how the response of remaining podocytes to podocyte depletion changes with age. Mild podocyte depletion was induced in PodCʳᵉiDTR mice aged 1, 6, 12 and 18 months v ...

Abstract:
... The store-operated Ca²⁺ entry (SOCE) represents an important route for generating cellular Ca²⁺ signals that are implicated in physiological and various pathological scenarios that include diabetic cardiomyopathy (DM-CMP) which is well known to have Ca²⁺ dysregulation among other salient features. In this study, we investigated the role of SOCE in Ca²⁺ handling of cardiomyocytes obtained from adul ...

Abstract:
... In teleosts, melanin-concentrating hormone (MCH) induces body brightening. On the other hand, α-melanophore-stimulating hormone (α-MSH), derived from the precursor proopiomelanocortin (POMC), leads to body darkening. In many teleosts, the expression level of pmch is high in light backgrounds, while that of pomc is low in dark backgrounds. In the present study, we investigated the ability of spotte ...

Abstract:
... In 1996, kiss was reported to regulate feeding in mammals, but studies are limited in fish. Our study aimed to explore the possible role of kiss in the regulation of feeding in Siberian sturgeon (Acipenser baerii). kiss1 and kiss2 were cloned, and the expression patterns were analyzed in Siberian sturgeon. The complete coding regions of kiss1 and kiss2 genes were 393 and 471 bp. Both kiss1 and kis ...

Abstract:
... Parkinson's disease (PD) is the most common neurodegenerative disease. Daidzein (DAI) is one of the most commonly ingested phytoestrogens with anti-oxidant properties. However, the effects of DAI on oxidative stress in PD has not been reported. In this study, we used 1-methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine (MPTP) for intraperitoneal injection of C57/BL6J mice for continuous 7 days to simulate ...

Abstract:
... The sequestration of uranium, particularly from the deposited bones, has been an incomplete task in chelation therapy for actinide decorporation. Part of the reason is that all previous decorporation ligands are not delicately designed to meet the coordination requirement of uranyl cations. Herein, guided by DFT calculation, we elaborately design a hexadentate ligand (TAM-2LI-MAM₂), whose preorgan ...

Abstract:
... Cardiac affection is common in diabetic patients. Although insulin exerts a cardioprotective role, it may not be enough to totally prevent this affection. The current study aimed to compare the cardioprotective effect of insulin alone or combined with sitagliptin in a rat model of type 1 diabetes mellitus. Diabetes was induced by a single intraperitoneal injection of streptozotocin (STZ; 60 mg/kg) ...

Abstract:
... Amylin is a 37-amino acid polypeptide that has been found to be involved in feeding regulation in some mammals, birds, and goldfish. We cloned amylin of Siberian sturgeon and detected its distribution pattern in 15 tissues. The expression levels in the periprandial period (pre-and post-feeding), the changes in the food intake, and the expression levels of related appetite factors after the intrape ...

Abstract:
... Awareness about the ethical use of laboratory animals has increased over recent decades alongside the development of strict guidelines and legislation concerning the welfare of animals in scientific research. Although minimization of animal suffering during experimentation is of paramount importance, it is sometimes neglected because of the presumed interference of analgesics on behavioral pattern ...
... 2‐Monoacylglycerol (2‐MAG) is one of the digestion products of dietary lipids. We recently demonstrated that a 2‐MAG, 2‐arachidonoyl glycerol (2‐AG) potently stimulated cholecystokinin (CCK) secretion via cannabinoid receptor 1 (CB1) in a murine CCK‐producing cell line, STC‐1. CCK plays a crucial role in suppressing postprandial gastric emptying. To examine the effect of 2‐AG on gastric emptying, ...
... Atlantic Salmon (Salmo salar) and Chinook Salmon (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha) develop a severe liver disease called net‐pen liver disease (NPLD), which is characterized by hepatic lesions that include megalocytosis and loss of gross liver structure. Based on studies where salmonids have been exposed to microcystin (MC) via intraperitoneal injection, NPLD is believed to be caused by MC exposure, a he ...
... Francisella orientalis infections, known as francisellosis, are one of the most important diseases affecting the production of Nile tilapia, causing high mortality rates in the most susceptible fish stages: fingerlings and juveniles. Antibiotic therapy is the method of choice for treating the disease, as there are no commercially available vaccines. In this study, we developed an inactivated whole ...

Abstract:
... Insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) plays a crucial role during folliculogenesis, which has been demonstrated by previous research. However, the optimal IGF-1 dosage in the three-dimensional (3D) culture system is unknown. Mouse secondary follicles (140–150 µm) were cultured for 6 days within an alginate bead in a medium supplemented with 0 (G0), 5 ng/mL (G5), 10 ng/mL (G10), or 50 ng/mL IGF-1 (G ...
