Distribution and metabolism of daidzein and its benzene sulfonates (in mice) based on MALDI-TOF MSI.

Daidzein (D1) has been proved to be of great benefit to human health. More and more attention was paid to the metabolic process of D1. Most studies focused on the metabolites of D1 and analogs were determined through the excretion of animals and humans by traditional HPLC-MS, while their distribution and metabolism in organs has not been reported.

Comparison of Biochemical Composition and Non-Volatile Taste Active Compounds of Back and Abdominal Muscles in Three Marine Perciform Fishes, , and .

Humpback grouper Chromileptes altivelis (HG), red-spotted grouper Epinephelus akaara (RG) and black seabream Acanthopagrus schlegelii (BS) are three popular perciform fishes with an increasingly important farming industry. The prices of BS are much lower than other grouper species; however, the differences in the nutritive values of these three perciform fishes with commercial specifications have not been reported. In this study, the biochemical composition and non-volatile taste active compounds of adult HG, RG and BS were investigated.

CC chemokine 1 protein from Cromileptes altivelis (CaCC1) promotes antimicrobial immune defense.

Chemokines are a family of small signaling proteins that are secreted by various cells. In addition to their roles in immune surveillance, localization of antigen, and lymphocyte trafficking for the maintenance of homeostasis, chemokines also function in induce immune cell migration under pathological conditions. In the present study, a novel CC chemokine gene (CaCC1) from humpback grouper (Cromileptes altivelis) was cloned and characterized.
