Article Synopsis
- The study examines how norfluoxetine (NFLU) affects the gonads of the mussel species Mytilus trossulus, focusing on gender differences in hormonal changes, gene expression, and overall transcriptomic profiling.
- Key findings reveal that in females, NFLU increases serotonin levels, possibly enhancing oocyte maturation, while in males, it lowers serotonin levels, hindering sperm development and delaying spawning.
- The research also highlights significant changes in gene expression related to reproduction and detoxification processes, indicating that NFLU can disrupt reproductive success in this mussel species.
Fatty acids (FAs) are known to play an important role in human metabolism; however, still little is known about the functions of certain FA classes present in blood at relatively low concentrations. Examples of such compounds include branched-chain fatty acids (BCFAs). Recently, lowered BCFAs blood concentration was noticed in obese patients.

However, BCFA are not well explored in terms of their effects on human health. Recently, they have been gaining interest, especially in relation to various human diseases.
