Background: Sturgeon is a popular aquaculture species in many countries. Its swim bladder is rich in collagen but has not yet been exploited scientifically.
Results: Collagen peptides (CPs) prepared from sturgeon swim bladder by trypsinolysis had an average molecular weight of 528.5 Da and consisted of 407 peptides, 16.1% of the content of which was GFPGADGSAGPK. The CPs at 25 mg mL extended the lifespan of Caenorhabditis elegans by 22.6%, which was significantly higher than the extension achieved by other hydrolysis methods and source materials. They also improved fitness-related traits (body size, motor capacity, oxidative stress, cell apoptosis, and epidermal barrier function), indicating prolonged healthspan. Transcriptome analysis showed that the effect was mediated by the mitogen-activated protein kinase pathway, which enhanced stress resistance, the insulin/IGF-1 pathway, which inhibited protein aggregation, and the NHR-80/FAT-6 pathway, which regulated lipid metabolism.
Conclusion: Collagen peptides from sturgeon swim bladder by trypsinolysis prolonged the lifespan and healthspan in C. elegans, and might be promising anti-aging agents. © 2024 Society of Chemical Industry.

Salmonids, classified as physostomous fish, maintain buoyancy by ingesting air to inflate their swim bladders. Long-term submergence has been shown to cause body imbalance and reduced growth performance in these fish. Previous studies have demonstrated that extended photoperiod can promote growth in salmonids.

Emamectin benzoate (EMB) is a widely used insecticide that can accumulate in aquatic environments under specific conditions of high application intensity or improper management, posing potential risks to aquatic organisms and human health. This study aimed to evaluate the reproductive toxicity of long-term EMB exposure in zebrafish (Danio rerio) and neurodevelopmental toxicity in their offspring. Zebrafish embryos were exposed to various concentrations of EMB (0, 0.

The round goby (Neogobius melanostomus) is a benthic fish species native to Central Eurasia but has colonized much of the waterways in the Laurentian Great Lakes in North America. While they are known to produce acoustic signals that aid in conspecific agonistic and reproductive interactions, the species does not possess a swim bladder and thus does not have any hearing specializations that would allow for sound pressure detection. Here, the auditory evoked potentials from saccular hair cells were characterized to determine the frequency response and auditory sensitivity of the saccule.

Despite the close and clinically confirmed association between depression and overactive bladder, it remains unclear whether this affective disorder is a factor causing overactive bladder or whether overactive bladder is a specific symptom of psychosomatic disorders. This study examined the effects of repeated corticosterone administration on the occurrence of symptoms associated with depression and overactive bladder. Additionally, we examined whether administering TC-G 1008, an antidepressant that selectively activates the GPR39 receptor, could alleviate corticosterone-induced depression-like behavior and detrusor overactivity-related changes in cystometric measurements.

Arsenic, a known environmental pollutant with a carcinogenic risk, is associated with chronic liver toxicity. Prebiotic regulation represents an emerging dietary strategy to alleviate arsenic-induced hepatotoxicity; however, research in this area remains limited. This study employed sulfated swim bladder glycosaminoglycan (SBSG), a potential prebiotic, to assess its efficacy in mitigating arsenic-induced liver injury.
