Consumers' Acceptance, Emotions, and Responsiveness to Informational Cues for Air-Fried Catfish ( Skin Chips.

Catfish () skins, as filleting byproduct, were developed into a crispy snack food via air-frying. Consumers rated catfish skin chips (CSC) across sensory modalities (9-point hedonic scales, a just-about-right scale, and "yes/no" for purchase intent, PI) for Plain-, Lemon & Pepper-, and Barbecue-flavored samples during two consumer studies ( = 115 each). Paprika- flavored CSC were excluded from Study 2 due to inferior acceptance and emotional ratings.

Factors Influencing Consumers' Willingness-to-Try Seafood Byproducts.

With increasing global demand for seafood, seafood byproducts (SB) utilization can contribute to a more sustainable food supply chain through waste-to-value food product development. However, consumer perceptions of SB (e.g.

Effects of Catfish () Bone Powder on Consumers' Liking, Emotions, and Purchase Intent of Fried Catfish Strips.

Catfish are the predominant U.S. aquacultural product.

Effect of Federal Inspection on Louisiana Wild-Caught Catfish Industry, Prevalence of Salmonella, and Microbial Characteristics of Raw Wild-Caught Catfish Fillets.

Abstract: The United States is one of the largest catfish producers in the world. Louisiana is the leading producer of wild-caught catfish. Historically, the U.

Dihydrofolate Reductase Genetic Polymorphisms Affect Methotrexate Dose Requirements in Pediatric Patients With Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia on Maintenance Therapy.

We have aimed to determine the effect of polymorphisms in regulatory regions of the DHFR gene in relation to methotrexate (MTX) dose adjustments and drug-induced toxicity in children on maintenance therapy for acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). In total, 41 children diagnosed with ALL were screened for 3 tag-single nucleotide polymorphisms in the DHFR promoter (C-1610G, C-680G/T, A-317G) and an intronic 19-bp insertion/deletion. Genotypes were analyzed in relation to dose requirements and toxicity.

Effect of polymorphisms in transporter genes on dosing, efficacy and toxicity of maintenance therapy in children with acute lymphoblastic leukemia.

The aim of the present work was to assess whether polymorphisms in genes coding for drug transport proteins may influence dosing, efficacy and toxicity of maintenance therapy with methotrexate (MTX) and 6-mercaptopurine (6MP) in childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). A total of 41 children with ALL were screened for 10 SNPs in the SLC19A1, ABCB1, ABCC2, ABCC4 and ABCG2 transporter genes by means of direct sequencing. Carriers of the ABCC4 934CC and ABCB1 1236TT genotypes received a lower percentage of the protocol-recommended starting dose of MTX (62.

Methotrexate-induced subacute neurotoxicity in a child with acute lymphoblastic leukemia carrying genetic polymorphisms related to folate homeostasis.

Subacute methotrexate neurotoxicity (MTX-NT) may occur days to weeks after systemic or intrathecal (IT) MTX administration and is often manifest by stroke-like symptoms. The pathogenesis of MTX-NT has mainly been associated with cerebral folate homeostasis, but the specific mechanism leading to the development of this complication is mostly unknown and is likely to be multifactorial. Most of studies aimed to determine putative genetic determinants of this syndrome have been focused on the methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) C677T single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP).

CYP2W1 variant alleles in Caucasians and association of the CYP2W1 G541A (Ala181Thr) polymorphism with increased colorectal cancer risk.

Aims: To detect differences in the frequency of the known nonsynonymous CYP2W1 polymorphisms between colorectal cancer patients and healthy subjects.

Materials & Methods: The study group consisted of 150 colorectal patients and 263 controls. The presence of five nonsynonymous CYP2W1 polymorphisms was analyzed by novel amplification-restriction methods.
