Sturgeon has a long lifespan and slow evolutionary rate due to their powerful endogenous antioxidant system. This work aimed to assess the in vitro and in vivo antioxidant activity of sturgeon extracts from both muscle and roe. The extraction process without enzyme hydrolysis is not only simple, but also can produce extracts with better free radicals scavenging abilities than enzymatic hydrolysates in both cellular and in vivo experiments. Moreover, in mouse models with liver injury and immunosuppression treatment, the sturgeon extracts demonstrated strong hepatoprotective and immune-enhancing functions, comparable to vitamin C and ginseng extract supplements, which were attributed to abundant antioxidant peptides of the extracts. The 15 isolated peptides exhibited diverse free radical scavenging ability. Therefore, the sturgeon extracts showed high potential to be applied in food and biomedical industries.

Anesthesia is applied to protect fish welfare for reducing employee workload in aquaculture. The efficacy of the anesthetic agent varies depending on the fish species. In this study, the effect of a commercial anesthetic (VetiVital AquaSED) manufactured mainly with herbal extracts (includes eugenol, linalool, linalyl acetat etc.

Androgenetic alopecia is a common disease that occurs in both men and women. Several approved medications have been used to treat this condition, but they are associated with certain side effects. Therefore, use of extracts derived from natural products, such as Siberian sturgeon (), and the regulation of the gut microbiota have become important topics of research.

Sturgeons are facing critical endangerment due to overfishing, habitat destruction, pollution and climate change. Their roe, highly prized as caviar, has driven the overexploitation, severely depleting wild populations. In recent years sturgeon aquaculture has experienced significant growth, primarily aimed at providing high-quality caviar and secondarily meat.

Providing antioxidants and targeting acetylcholinesterase (AChE) are key strategies in treating neurocognitive dysfunction. In this study, bioactive sturgeon (Acipenser schrenckii) spinal cord peptides (SSCPs) with antioxidant and AChE inhibitory potency were extracted and separated from sturgeon spinal cord by enzymatic hydrolysis and ultrafiltration, and targeted peptide PGGW was screened via computer simulated molecular docking. Further, the molecular dynamic interactions of the PGGW with superoxide dismutase (SOD) and AChE were analyzed, and the protective effect of PGGW on glutamate-induced PC12 cells in vitro was evaluated.
