The aim of this study was to determine and compare the concentration of copper (Cu) in liver and muscle of two fish species Squalius cephalus and Capoeta capoeta gracilis. The fish were caught in four sampling sites along Tajan River, Mazandaran Province, northern Iran. The concentration of Cu was determined using flame atomic absorption spectrometry. There were significant differences (P

Lactating sows have been shown to develop typical signs of an inflammatory condition in the liver during the transition from pregnancy to lactation. Hepatic inflammation is considered critical due to the induction of an acute phase response and the activation of stress signaling pathways like the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress-induced unfolded protein response (UPR), both of which impair ani...

The antioxidative and hypolipidemic effects of green tea polyphenols (TP) in mice fed a fish oil-supplemented diet were investigated. Male ddY mice of 8 weeks old were given the following diets for 21 days: control diet (a diet supplemented with 5. 0% corn oil), a diet with 0. 5% corn oil and 4. 5% cod liver oil, or a diet with 0. 5% corn oil, 4. 5% cod liver oil, and 0. 5% TP. The contents of ...

Ciguatera Fish Poisoning (CFP) is a tropical disease caused by the consumption of fish contaminated with ciguatoxins (CTXs). Currently, the only feasible prevention methods for CFP are to avoid the consumption of fish of certain species from some regions, avoid larger fish of certain species, or avoid all fish caught from specific regions. Here, we quantified levels of P-CTX-1B in Spanish Macke...

The Effect of Dietary Restriction and Fish Oil Consumption on Small Intestinal Morphology Liver Cell Changes in Broilers

thirteen environmental elements were distinguished in the livers of various species of fish thathave been sampled from 15 sites in a restricted area of the khorramabad river basin in lorestan province(west of iran). sites sampled represented agricultural, mining, mixed, and urban/recreation land uses andbackground conditions. lithium and silver were not detected at any of the sites. the minimum...

Recent research has again raised the issue regarding the potential health effects of long term exposure to persistent organic pollutants (POPs) in the context of a risk-benefit analysis. There remains clear evidence of the beneficial effects of fish consumption on public health and in particular fatty fish with its essential fatty acids. In addition to providing fatty acids, fish fat constitute...

To investigate the effects of carvacrol supplementation in rainbow trout induced by lipopolysaccharide (LPS), relative gene expressions levels of some pro-inflammatory cytokines and apoptosis markers in kidney and liver were measured. Fish with a mean weight of 44.71±1.33 g were studied using four different treatments with three replicates each. Inflammation and apoptosis were performed using L...

the study monitored the toxicity of environmentally relevant concentration of pesticides and metals in zebra fish danio rerio. zebra fish were exposed to environmentally relevant concentration of pesticides and metals for a period of 14 days. the individual and the combined toxicity of pesticides and metals were evaluated. the pesticides and metals treated groups showed histopathological altera...

The occurrence of infectious diseases is related to heterogeneous protein interactions between a host and a microbe. Therefore, elucidating the host-pathogen interplay is essential. We previously revealed the protein interactome between Edwardsiella piscicida and fish gill cells, and the present study identified the protein interactome between E. piscicida and E. drummondhayi liver cells. E. dr...
