Bioconversion of ω-Fatty Acid from Giant Snakehead (Channa micropeltes) Fish Oil
ثبت نشده
چکیده
Study on bioconversion of ω-fatty acids extracted from giant snakehead (Channa micropeltes) fish oil was carried out using guinea pig lung homogenate. The fish oil, after hydrolysis to their fatty acids, was incubated aerobically at 37oC in phosphate buffer solution with the addition of guinea pig lung homogenate. After incubation and chemoreduction, it was found that ca. 76% arachidonic acid has been converted to the prostaglandin, PGE1. The fatty acid constituents in fish oil were analysed by GC-MS after methylation.

متن کاملFocal Species: Snakeheads
beasts breathe air, walk on land, grow to gigantic size, and attack humans. Although many of these rumors were overblown, these species do pose a serious threat to invaded ecosystems and are listed as “injurious wildlife” under the Federal Lacey Act. All 28 snakehead species have the ability to breathe air--and some must breathe air or die—which allows them to survive in low oxygen conditions. ...

BACKGROUND The Malabar snakehead Channa diplogramma is one of the most enigmatic and least understood species within the family Channidae, which comprise one of the most important groups of freshwater food fish in tropical Asia. Since its description from peninsular India in 1865, it has remained a taxonomic puzzle with many researchers questioning its validity, based on its striking similarity...

The present study aimed to investigate the effects of dietary fish oil replacement by poultry fat on growth performance and fillet quality, Oncorhynchus mykiss. Three diets were used in this experiment, containing different percentages of poultry fat (0% (D1), 50% (D2) and 100% (D3) replacement with fish oil. The fish were reared as three treatments; the fish fed D1 diet; the fish fed D2 diet; ...
