Regular consumption of seafood and, in particular, fish has been associated with important health benefits. A product that increasingly included the human nutrition is roe. Despite its nutritional value established (fatty acid profile and protein content), knowledge composition aqueous extracts still limited. This work describes bioactive compounds roe-derived three different marine species (sa...

BACKGROUND Fish is an important cause of food allergy. Studies on fish allergy are scarce and in most cases limited to serological evaluation. Our objective was to study patterns of self-reported allergy and tolerance to different commonly consumed fish species and its correlation to IgE sensitization to the same species. METHODS Thirty-eight adult fish allergic patients completed a questionn...

Molluscicidal activity of different organic solvent extracts of latex of Euphorbia pulcherima and Euphorbia hirta (Family-Euphorbiaceae) against two freshwater harmful snails Lymnaea acuminata and Indoplanorbis exustus has been reported. Both the snails are the intermediate hosts of Fasciola hepatica and Fasciola gigantica, which cause endemic fascioliasis in cattle and livestock of Eastern par...

BACKGROUND Anticonvulsant properties have been attributed to extracts of the herbal medicine Valeriana officinalis. Our aims were to examine the anticonvulsant properties of valerenic acid and valerian extracts and to determine whether valerian preparations interact with the activity of other anti-epileptic drugs (phenytoin or clonazepam). To achieve these goals, we validated the adult zebrafis...

Water extracts from selected Dracaena plants cultivated in greenhouse conditions were evaluated for antioxidant properties by vitro methods using the muscle tissue of Atlantic sturgeon (Acipenser oxyrinchus Mitchill). The level 2-thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS) and total capacity (TAC) after treatment derived leaves (in final concentration 10 mg.mL-1) assessed. When was incubate...

piscicidal and molluscicidal activities of aqueous extracts of many members of the family euphorbiaceae are well-known, but the toxicity potential of euphorbia turcomanica was not yet studied on any aquatic animals. an acute toxicity test was performed by using a four-day static renewal test to determine the lc 50 value of dried powder of e. turcomanica for the euryhaline fish, aphanius dispar ...

background: the repetitive use of antibiotics in different fields (veterinary and medicine) improves the emergence and occurrence of the resistance phenomenon in pathogenic bacteria. due to the problem of antimicrobial resistance, it is an urgent need to discover new drugs and alternative treatments for the control of bacterial diseases in aquaculture. objectives: the purpose of this study is t...

Background Classical allergen-specific immunotherapy (SIT), using subcutaneous injections with food extracts, may be effective but dangerous due to anaphylactic side-effects. The FAST project (Food Allergy Specific Immunotherapy) aims at the development of safe and effective treatment of food allergies, targeting persistent and severe allergy to fish (cod) and fruit (peach). Both are caused by ...
