Objective: The waterless transport of live fish has changed the present situation of live-fish transport. However, the waterless transport environment may cause stress in fish. This research evaluated the effect of tea polyphenol-trehalose (TPT) coating solutions on Turbot Scophthalmus maximus during waterless transport.

This research aimed to evaluate the impact of acute ammonia exposure on the large yellow croaker's meat quality, gill morphology, liver oxidative stress, and hematological parameters. The fish were exposed to total ammonia nitrogen concentrations of 0, 2.

The findings suggest that NH-N stress transport alters the transcription of , , , and genes, demonstrating that NH-N stress can trigger the apoptotic pathway of -- and Caspase and induce apoptosis. NH-N stress transport also evoked transcriptional upregulation of inflammatory cytokines (, , , ) and increased complement C3, C4, lysozyme (LZM) and immunoglobulin (IgM) levels, activating the innate immunological system during keep-live transport.

In terms of physiological stress, the levels of glucose (GLU), lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), and catalase (CAT) in CO asphyxia samples were significantly lower than those in other samples (p < 0.

Refrigerator precooling (RPC), cold-water precooling (CWPC), strong-wind precooling (SWPC), fluidized-ice precooling (FIPC), and vacuum precooling (VPC) were used to precool the fresh yellow peaches. The yellow peaches after different precooling treatments were stored at 4 °C for 15 days.

Therefore, the present research aimed to evaluate the effect of acute nitrite exposure on the hematological parameters, antioxidant enzymes, immune response, and gill morphology of large yellow croaker (Larimichthys crocea). The fish were randomly separated and exposed to four (i.

Methods And Results: The anti-obesity effect and mechanism of Ligilactobacillus salivarius LCK11 (LCK11) is studied using a C57BL/6J male mouse model in which obesity is induced by a high-fat diet (HFD). Results show that LCK11 can prevent HFD-induced obesity, reflected as inhibited body weight gain, abdominal and liver fat accumulation and dyslipidemia.
Background: In central precocious puberty (CPP), the pulse secretion and release of gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) are increased due to early activation of the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal axis, resulting in developmental abnormalities with gonadal development and appearance of secondary sexual characteristics. The CPP without organic disease is known as idiopathic CPP (ICPP). The objective of the study was to evaluate the clinical efficacy and safety of domestic leuprorelin (GnRH analog) in girls with ICPP.
