ito cell (fat storing cell=fsc) is one of the cells which forms the liver sinusoidal wall it also forms the connective tissue of the liver. the cell was first identified in 1963 by a scientist named ito. it will get damaged due to the plasma fat increase which is resulted from a diet of corn oil 10% and fish oil 10% the damage wil be in form of fat storing cell. the fsc morphology may represent...

This study was conducted to investigate the effects of dietary lipid source and level on growth performance, blood parameters, fatty acid composition and flesh quality of sub-adult olive flounder Paralichthys olivaceus. Eight experimental diets were formulated to contain 5% squid liver oil (SLO), 5% linseed oil (LO), 5% soybean oil (SO), a mixture of 1% squid liver oil, 2% linseed oil and 2% so...

this experiment was conducted to examine effects of different levels of niacin on the gut and liver histology and also some activity of the liver enzymes in the blood serum of common carp. a control diet (containing 30 mg niacin kg-1 commercial diet) and four other diets were prepared which had 50, 70, 90 and 110 mg niacin per kg of commercial diet, added by spraying. fish with initial average ...

It is generally accepted that all of the allantoin-degrading enzymes (allantoinase, allantoicase, ureidoglycollate lyase and urease), used in purine degradation, were lost during mammalian evolution. However, surprisingly, ureidoglycollate lyase has been found in a mammalian tissue. Ureidoglycollate lyase was purified to homogeneity and characterized from rat-liver mitochondria. The apparent Km...

Probiotic supplements as an alternative medicine; investigation the Effect of Lactobacillus casei on liver function Koi Fish (Cyprinus rubrofuscus L.) in exposure to pathogen animal model

A 60-year-old male patient was admitted to our hospital for recurrent upper quadrant pain for 1 month. He had a past history of coronary artery disease. After admission, he repeatedly suffered from high-grade fever, chills and upper quadrant pain. Computed tomography (CT) showed a round hypodense mass in the left lobe of the liver, approximately 2.7 × 2.2 cm in size, and a fish bone was confirm...

Rainbow smelt Osmerus modax accumulate glycerol in winter that serves as an antifreeze. Fish were held at 8 degrees C, or subjected to a decrease in water temperature to -1 degrees C over a 19 day period, and subsequently maintained at -1 degrees C from 15 January to 11 May 2004. Starved fish did not survive the challenge of temperature decrease, with death ensuing above the typical freeze poin...

Introduction Vitamin D was first isolated from tuna fish oil in 1936, and synthesized in 1952. It is a prohormone sterol which the body manufactures, given sunlight, from 7-dehydrocholesterol. Vitamin D3 (C27H44O, cholecalciferol) is the form we and other animals make, and what is found in fish liver oil. Oddly enough, fish cannot synthesize vitamin D. They get theirs low on the food chain from...

This study was designed to estimate the toxic threshold of male and female fish to microcystins based on different biomarkers. Japanese medaka (Oryzias latipes) were fed dietary Microcystin-LR (0, 0.46, 0.85, 2.01 and 3.93 microg MC-LR/g dry diet for 8 weeks at 25 degrees C. The results revealed that dietary MC-LR inhibited growth at the end of 8 weeks. The survival of embryos and the RNA/DNA r...

The aim of this study was to determine the effects silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) on morphology and enzymatic activity butterfly splitfin (Ameca splendens). Individuals both sexes, aged about five months, were exposed AgNPs at concentrations 0 (control group), 0.01, 0.1, 1.0 mg/dm3 for 42 days. On last day experiment, fish euthanized, subjected standard histological processing (anterior intestine...
