Abstract

The present study was conducted to explore the influence of dietary carbohydrate on antioxidant capacity and non-specific immunity of hybrid grouper, which would contribute to determine the tolerable dietary carbohydrate content. Seven diets with grade levels of carbohydrate (5.27, 8.95, 11.49, 14.37, 17.78, 20.82 and 23.65%) were fed to triplicate groups of fish for 10 weeks. Results showed that the inclusion of carbohydrate above 11.49% produced significant increased content of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) in liver and malondialdehyde (MDA) in both serum and liver. The specific activity of catalase (CAT), superoxide dismutase (SOD), glutathione peroxidase (Gpx) and total antioxidative capacity (T-AOC) were significantly elevated with the increase of dietary carbohydrate from 8.95 to 23.65%, which may be associated with the reduced hepatic soluble protein content. However, opposite variation was observed in the expression of antioxidant related genes (SOD1 and Gpx), which was partly caused by the activation of NF-E2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) and inhibition of Kelch-like-ECH-associated protein 1 (Keap1) at the transcriptional level. The immunoglobulin M (lgM) content and activity of lysozyme and CCP in serum significantly depressed w...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
