An Isotonic Drink Containing Pacific Cod () Processing Waste Collagen Hydrolysate for Bone and Cartilage Health.

Malnutrition is one of the major factors of bone and cartilage disorders. Pacific cod () processing waste is a cheap and highly promising source of bioactive substances, including collagen-derived peptides and amino acids, for bone and cartilage structure stabilization. The addition of these substances to a functional drink is one of the ways to achieve their fast intestinal absorption.

Chemical Characterization of Atlantic Cod () Collagen Hydrolyzed Using Enzyme Preparation Derived from Red King Crab () and Its Potential as a Core Component of Bacterial Culture Medium.

The Atlantic cod () and red king crab () processing wastes are massive and unutilized in the Murmansk region of Russia. The samples of skin-containing waste of Atlantic cod fillets production were hydrolyzed using enzyme preparations derived from red king crab hepatopancreases, porcine pancreases, and bacteria. The activity of enzymes from crab hepatopancreases was significantly higher than the activity of enzymes derived from other sources.

Application of the Fish Processing Waste for Food Grade Gelatin Production.

Waste from fish cutting (heads, swim bladders, fins, skin, and bones) is a high-value technological raw material for obtaining substances and products with a wide range of properties. The possibility of using waste from cutting fish of the family: the Alaska pollock () and the Pacific cod (), processed in the coastal zone, is scientifically substantiated. In this work, a technology has been developed for processing accumulated waste from fish cutting in order to obtain fish gelatin, which is characterized by high protein content (more than 80.

Tissue-Specific Expression of Genes Involved in Cellular Transportation in Common Carp (Cyprinus carpio) Exposed to Cadmium.

Juvenile common carp were treated with Cd at a sublethal concentration for Cyprinidae (6.4 mg/L). The expression of N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor subunit genes (NR2A, NR2B) and ATP-binding cassette subfamily C member 1 gene (ABCC1) was compared between treated and untreated fish.

One-dimensional proteomic profiling of Danio rerio embryo vitellogenin to estimate quantum dot toxicity.

Background: Vitellogenin (Vtg) is the major egg yolk protein (YP) in most oviparous species and may be useful as an indicator in ecotoxicological testing at the biochemical level. In this study, we obtained detailed information about the Vtgs of Danio rerio embryos by cutting SDS-PAGE gel lanes into thin slices, and analyzing them slice-by-slice with (MALDI-TOF) mass spectrometry.

Results: We conducted three proteomic analyses, comparing embryonic Danio rerio Vtg cleavage products after exposure for 48 h to CdSecore/ZnSshell quantum dots (QDs), after exposure to a mixture of the components used for quantum dot synthesis (MCS-QDs), and in untreated embryos.

X-ray diffractometer designed for industrial applications at SPring-8 BL24XU.

An X-ray diffractometer for industrial applications has been designed, installed at SPring-8 BL24XU and tested by measuring a standard Al(2)O(3) powder sample. The measurement results prove the high precision of the diffractometer. The diffractometer was also tested by conducting grazing-incidence X-ray diffraction measurements of ion-implanted chromium-coated steel.
