The tissue-specific nature of physiological zebrafish mitochondrial bioenergetics.

Zebrafish are a powerful tool to study a myriad of experimental conditions, including mitochondrial bioenergetics. Considering that mitochondria are different in many aspects depending on the tissue evaluated, in the zebrafish model there is still a lack of this investigation. Especially for juvenile zebrafish.

Acetylcholinesterase (AChE; EC 3.1.1.

Acetylcholinesterase of mangrove oyster Crassostrea rhizophorae: A highly thermostable enzyme with promising features for estuarine biomonitoring.

Enzyme biomarkers from several aquatic organisms have been used for assessing the exposure to contaminants at sublethal levels. Amongst them, the cholinesterases are commonly extracted from several organisms to evaluate/measure organophosphate and carbamate neurotoxic effects. Acetylcholinesterase (AChE; EC 3.
