Article Synopsis
- The study focused on how two isoforms of ribosomal protein S6 kinase 1 (S6K1α and S6K1β) affect the expression of genes related to glycolysis and gluconeogenesis in juvenile blunt snout bream.
- Researchers cloned and characterized these isoforms, revealing their sequences and significant expression in heart and gonads.
- The use of siRNAs demonstrated that S6K1α primarily regulates gluconeogenesis, while both S6K1α and S6K1β work together to co-regulate glycolysis, highlighting their distinct roles in metabolic processes.
Article Synopsis
- An eight-week study explored how dietary ferroporphyrin (FPR) impacts gibel carp in terms of growth, immunity, and health.
- Findings showed that 0.01% FPR improved overall fish nourishment by increasing proteins and cholesterol, while higher levels (0.03% and 0.04%) raised certain enzymes but decreased glucose and triglycerides.
- Immunity improved with 0.01% and 0.02% FPR, but higher levels negatively affected antioxidant and oxygen-carrying abilities, indicating a careful balance is needed in dietary supplementation.
Article Synopsis
- This study evaluated how different replacements of fish meal (FM) with soy protein concentrate (SPC) impact juvenile largemouth bass in terms of growth, metabolism, and health over a 56-day period.
- The groups with 0%, 25%, and 50% SPC showed better growth rates and feed conversion ratios compared to the 75% and 100% SPC groups, indicating that high levels of SPC may negatively affect growth performance.
- Additionally, changes in antioxidant enzyme activities and inflammatory response were noted, with lower activities seen in groups with more SPC, suggesting that replacing FM with SPC can affect the fish’s health and metabolic responses.
The experiment was designed to investigate the effects of different starch types on the growth performance and liver health status of largemouth bass in a high-temperature environment (33-35 °C). In this study, we designed five diets using corn starch (CS), tapioca starch (TS), sweet potato starch (SPS), potato starch (PS), and wheat starch (WS) as the starch sources (10%). We selected 225 healthy and uniformly sized largemouth bass (199.

However, information on the detailed effect of peripheral 5-HT on the energy metabolism in fishes, especially the lipid metabolism, and the underlying mechanism remains elusive. In this study, a diet-induced obesity model was developed in the zebrafish (Danio rerio), a prototypical animal model for metabolic disorders.

Seven diets containing increasing levels of TM (FM substitution) were designed (approximately 0% (0%), 4% (11.1%), 8.

Fatty acid binding proteins (FABPs) are intracellular lipid chaperones with low molecular weight, which are widely distributed in a variety of tissues, participating in fatty acid transport, cell proliferation, and angiogenesis. In this study, full-length sequences of two fabp genes (fabp1 and fabp2) from javelin goby (Synechogobius hasta) were cloned via RACE PCR, followed by bioinformatic analyses and gene expression evaluation. The fabp1 and fabp2 cDNA sequences were 493 and 626 bp in length, encoding 126 and 132 amino acids, respectively.
