The relatively high activity of arylsulphatase C (ASC) in the placenta is a potential risk for the misdiagnosis of arylsulphatase A (ASA) or arylsulphatase B (ASB) deficiency in chorionic villus sampling when assayed by synthetic substrates. A clear distinction between these enzymes can be achieved in either the direct villi or the cultured villi cells. Interestingly, the activity of ASC differed significantly in cultured villi cells when prepared by two different methods, namely, minced villi versus treatment with trypsin and collagenase, while ASA and ASB were not affected by these treatments. Whether ASC was directly affected by one of these treatments or whether a selection of cells with different ASC levels was achieved is not yet clear, but this phenomenon clearly indicates the importance of precise definition of CVS preparations to correlate with the enzyme activity data.

WNT2B is Wnt ligand which is able to support intestinal stem cells (ISC) in culture and support the intestinal epithelium in vivo. We have previously shown that WNT2B is critical for resistance to colitis, but not small intestinal injury, in the adult mouse. WNT2B is thought to coordinate with WNT3 in supporting ISC, and we have also shown that WNT3 expression is low in the early postnatal ileum in mice.

The study aimed to investigate the influence of different microalgae used in green water culture on the intestinal morphology of the seahorse Hippocampus reidi during the first 15 days of life. Four treatments were tested in triplicate, consisting of two microalgae (Tisochrysis lutea-ISO and Chaetoceros muelleri-CHO), used either individually (TISO and TCHO) or combined (TIC 1:1) in larval rearing water, and a treatment without microalgae (TWM). Larvae (6.

Article Synopsis
- Microplastics (MPs), specifically 5 μm polystyrene particles, can accumulate in human organs like the placenta and may pose risks to living organisms, which this study aims to assess through placental tissue analysis.
- The research involved exposing placental explants to varying concentrations of PS-MPs, measuring cytotoxicity, oxidative stress, and metabolic changes over 24 to 72 hours, utilizing methods like MTT assays and biochemical evaluations.
- Results showed that exposure to PS-MPs increased cytotoxicity and oxidative stress markers significantly, along with altered metabolomic profiles, indicating potential adverse effects on placental function.
Effects of Different Levels of Carbohydrates on Growth Performance, Hepatic and Intestinal Health, and Intestinal Microflora of Juvenile Pikeperch ().

Pikeperch () is a species with great potential for aquaculture in Eurasian countries, while feed costs limit the scale of pikeperch farming. Adding carbohydrates to the feed as an energy source is a viable approach to reduce costs and to improve the culture status of pikeperch. In this study, in order to determine the optimal carbohydrate requirement of pikeperch, three tapioca starch (8%, 10%, and 12%) added feeds were produced with isonitrogenous (51%) and isolipidic (11%).

Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to assess how replacing fish meal or chicken meal with yeast culture affects bullfrog growth, serum biochemistry, and intestinal health.
- The results showed that the FM50 group had poorer growth performance and altered serum biochemistry compared to the control group, while the other experimental groups did not differ significantly from the control.
- Some groups exhibited enhanced digestive enzyme activities and liver antioxidant capacity, but the FM50 group had reduced intestinal villi height, suggesting that complete replacement of fish or chicken meal might negatively impact some health indicators.
