Oxidative stress and antioxidant defenses after prolonged starvation in Dentex dentex liver.

چکیده
The aim of this work was to evaluate the effects of prolonged starvation and refeeding on antioxidant status and some metabolic-related parameters in common dentex (Dentex dentex) liver. Fish deprived of food for 5 weeks showed a significant increase in lipid peroxidation, measured as malondialdehyde (MDA) levels. The activity of the antioxidative enzymes superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase, and glutathione peroxidase (GPX) in starved fish significantly increased (by 42%, 22%, and 52%, respectively), whereas glutathione reductase (GR) activity was significantly depressed by 53% compared to controls. No qualitative changes in the SOD isoenzymatic pattern were detected by nondenaturing PAGE analysis, but the isoforms corresponding to CuZn-SOD I and II were enhanced in starved fish. The activity of the enzymes indicative of oxidative metabolism, beta-hydroxyacyl CoA dehydrogenase (HOAD) and citrate synthase (CS), significantly increased (by 123% and 28%, respectively), and that of glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PDH) was inhibited by 56%. Oxidative damage under these circumstances is reversible since all biomarkers assayed returned to control values after refeeding. Our results show that prolonged starvation leads to a pro-oxidant situation and oxidative stress despite activation of antioxidant defense mechanisms, and that inhibition of G6PDH activity might be responsible for this failure in cellular antioxidant defenses.

Despite the reported effects of egg vitellogenin-derived proteins (VtgDP) and amino acids on embryo-larvae viability in common dentex the effects of non-vitellogenin-derived proteins (non-Vtg-DP) has yet to be determined. As an initial study, fertilized eggs (70 batches) were provided by natural spawning of broodfish in captivity. Viability parameters (VP) such as egg floating, hatching, and la...

Two feeding trials were carried out to evaluate the efficiency of probiotics and maslinic acid, on growth and survival of juvenile dentex; liver proteolytic activities were also investigated in the second trial. For experiment 1, triplicate groups were fed six diets with two probiotics (Bacillus toyoi, T, and B. cereus, E) at increasing levels (0.5, 1 and 2 g kg diet) and a control diet. Growth...

The aim of this study is to determine suitable conditions for egg disinfection of gilthead sea bream (Sparus aurata), red porgy (Pagrus pagrus), and common dentex (Dentex dentex) with glutaraldehyde, hydrogen peroxide and iodine. The eggs were disinfected with 200 ppm glutaraldehyde (T= 2, 4, 8, 16 min), 300 ppm hydrogen peroxide and iodine (T= 5, 10, 15, 20 min) at four different contact times...

Dentex carpenteri, a new species of deepwater seabream from Western Australia (Pisces: Sparidae).
A new species of sparid fish, Dentex carpenteri, is described from nine type specimens collected off Ningaloo Reef near Exmouth, Western Australia. Four valid species of Dentex are currently known in the western Pacific, Dentex abei and D. hypselosomus in the Northern Hemisphere, and D. fourmanoiri and D. spariformis in the Southern Hemisphere. These four species comprise the "Dentex hypselosom...
