Background: Studies conducted on human cell culture models have demonstrated that collagen-derived peptides can exert a beneficial effect in medicine. However, all these studies were conducted using animal collagen samples, most often originating from bovine or porcine skin. Currently attempts are being made to replace animal collagen with fish collagen.
Objectives: The aim of the study was to compare the effect of silver carp skin-derived peptide extract on the transcriptional activities of human VEGF and hsp70.1 gene promoters inserted into the plasmids with secreted alkaline phosphatase as a reporter gene.
Material And Methods: Changes in the activity of the promoters were investigated using a HEK293FT cell line transfected with pVEGF-SEAP or pHsp70-SEAP. The cells were cultured in dishes containing peptides separated using reverse-phase high performance liquid chromatography.
Results: The study demonstrated that the silver carp skin-derived peptide extract exerts both an inhibitory effect on the VEGF gene promoter and activating effect on the hsp70.1 gene promoter. Higher biological activity was recorded in the case of a freshly prepared peptide extract compared to one stored at 4°C for three months.
Conclusions: The silver carp skin-derived collagen peptides influence VEGF and hsp70.1 gene promoters' transcriptional activity.

Potential effects of microplastics (MP, plastic particles <5 mm) on the levels of multiple stress biomarkers were investigated in wild fish populations of Cyprinus carpio, Mugil cephalus, Platichthys flesus captured in the Minho River estuary located in the Iberian Peninsula. Specimens were collected in March and September 2018, corresponding to the end of winter and summer, respectively. Based on the concentration of MP determined by FT-IR analysis and morphological inspection, fishes from each species were divided into two groups: ≤0.

Parasitic infestations are one of the most economically important disease conditions in the Indian major carps including mrigal, Cirrhinus mrigala. This study reported the biosafety and tissue withdrawal of in-feed administered antiparasitic drug, emamectin benzoate (EMB). To evaluate the biosafety of the drug, behaviour, growth and tissue changes in Cirrhinus mrigala was recorded the following in-feed administration of EMB up to 10 times (T1-50 μg kg fish day (1×), T2-125 μg kg fish day (2.

In the present study, the effects of psyllium gum/sodium-alginate (PG/SA) coatings incorporated with essential oil (HEO) and copper oxide nanoparticles (CuO NPs) on various properties of silver carp fillets were investigated and monitored over 15 days of chilled storage condition (4 °C ± 1). The control sample (uncoated), PG/SA with 3% CuO NPs, PG/SA with 1% HEO, and PG/SA with 3% CuO NPs and 1% HEO (PG/SA-HC) were examined through chemical, microbial, and sensory analysis. The results revealed that the PG/SA-HC sample after 15 days of refrigeration demonstrated a significantly lower value than the others for total viable counts (8.

Biogenic amines (BAs), produced in fish and seafood due to microbial contamination, pose significant health risks. This study introduces a novel ratiometric fluorescent probe, synthesized by integrating rhodamine 6G(R6G) and gold nanoparticles (AuNCs), for the sensitive and specific detection of BAs. The probe operates on the principle of BAs hydrolysis, catalyzed by diamine oxidase, to produce hydrogen peroxide (HO), which selectively quenches the fluorescence of AuNCs at 620 nm, while the fluorescence of R6Gat 533 nm remains unaffected.
