Feeding-Regime-Dependent Intestinal Response of Rainbow Trout after Administration of a Novel Probiotic Feed.

Intensive fish farming is associated with a high level of stress, causing immunosuppression. Immunomodulators of natural origin, such as probiotics or phytoadditives, represent a promising alternative for increasing the immune function of fish. In this study, we tested the autochthonous trout probiotic strain R2 in a newly developed, low-cost application form ensuring the rapid revitalization of bacteria.

Silybin Showed Higher Cytotoxic, Antiproliferative, and Anti-Inflammatory Activities in the CaCo Cancer Cell Line while Retaining Viability and Proliferation in Normal Intestinal IPEC-1 Cells.

The anticancer potential of silymarin is well known, including its anti-inflammatory as well as antiproliferative effect mediated by influencing the cell cycle, suppression of apoptosis, and inhibition of cell-survival kinases. However, less is known about silybin, the main component of the silymarin complex, where studies indicate its dual effect on the proliferation and immune response of various cell types in a dose-dependent manner. Moreover, there is a lack of studies comparing the effect of silybin on the same type of healthy and tumor cells, especially intestinal ones.

The adverse effects of synthetic acaricide tau-fluvalinate (tech.) on winter adult honey bees.

Currently several pyrethroids (e.g., flumethrin and tau-fluvalinate) are used in apiculture worldwide as acaricides/miticides.

Effect of autochthonous lactobacilli on immunologically important molecules of rainbow trout after bacterial infection studied on intestinal primoculture.

Nowadays, the aquaculture industry is one of the fastest growing industries. Intensive aquaculture has a negative impact on fish health. Probiotic bacteria are often used due to beneficial effect to health of host, e.
