We investigated the in vitro metabolism of [26,27-3H]-25-(OH)D3 in different eel tissues. After incubation with [3H]-25-(OH)D3, tissues were extracted with methanol-chloroform and chromatographed on Sephadex LH 20 columns. Two derivatives less polar than 25-(OH)D3 were detected, the first one being sensitive to KOH treatment. Three peaks more polar than 25-(OH)D3 were also found: peak I migrated close to the 24,25-(OH)2D3 area and was quantitatively the most important, but the presence of 24,25-(OH)2D3 could not be demonstrated; peak II migrated in the 1,25-(OH)2D3 region; and peak III had an elution position twice that of peak II. After 6-h incubation of tissues isolated from control eels, peak I was found in all tissues including intestine and gills. It was highest in pituitary gland and brain and lowest in ovaries and muscle. It was not significantly modified 20 days after ablation of the corpuscules of Stannius. In contrast, in vivo daily calcium chloride injection was followed 24 hr later by a significant increase in the [3H]-25-(OH)D3 conversion into peak I in gills, intestine, and the spinal cord and by an inhibition of this conversion in pituitary gland, skin, and muscle. The inhibition was found in all tissues after five daily calcium injections. Calcium injection had no effect on the in vitro metabolite synthesis by the corpuscules of Stannius. These results suggest that vitamin D is not metabolized in the same way in eel as in mammals and that this metabolism could in part be calcium dependent.

Bidirectional promoters (BDPs) regulate the transcription of two adjacent, oppositely oriented genes, offering a compact structure with significant potential for multigene expression systems. Although BDPs are evolutionarily conserved, their regulatory roles and sequence characteristics vary across species, with limited studies in fish. Here, we systematically analyzed the distribution, sequence features, and expression patterns of BDPs in the medaka () genome.

Exploring the emulsification of myofibrillar protein (MP) from large yellow croaker (Larimichthys crocea) could meet the demand for high-value development and utilization of fish proteins. Therefore, MPs as the emulsifier to form stable high internal-phase Pickering emulsions (HIPPEs) with the addition of glycerol and the effects of different glycerol addition ratios of HIPPEs were investigated. HIPPEs could be constructed by MPs with the glycerol addition at a ratio of 15 %-30 % (v/v) compared to those without the addition of glycerol.

Rationale: Carbon (δC) and nitrogen (δN) stable isotope analysis is a powerful tool to investigate diverse questions in fish ecology, such as their trophic position or migration strategies. These questions appear particularly important to protect endangered European eel. However, elevated lipid content in eel muscle can bias δC values, as lipids are C-depleted compared to proteins and carbohydrates.

Article Synopsis
- This study aimed to compare the effectiveness of two techniques, endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) and endoscopic band electrocision ligation (EEL), for removing small gastric submucosal tumors (SMTs).
- It analyzed data from 130 patients, revealing that EEL resulted in significantly shorter surgery times, lower costs, and less blood loss compared to ESD, with no major differences in hospital stays or complications afterward.
- Ultimately, the study concluded that EEL is a more efficient and cost-effective method for treating SMTs under 10 mm than ESD, making it a valuable option in clinical settings.
