When the binding of [3H]gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) to its receptor in catfish synaptic membranes was studied, a high affinity (Kd = 8.4 nM) and a low affinity (Kd = 65 nM) binding component was observed. Muscimol, thiomuscimol, tetrahydroisoxazole-5,4-c-pyridin-3-ol, imidazole acetic acid and bicuculline each competitively inhibited both high affinity and low affinity [3H]GABA binding. The potency of these inhibitors was similar to that reported for the GABA receptor from mammalian brain. It is concluded that the GABA receptor from catfish brain has very similar properties to the receptor from mammalian central nervous system and consequently has not undergone any obvious evolutionary changes.

Hypoxia disrupts multiple physiological processes, including metabolism, immunity, and reproduction in teleosts. The brain plays a critical role in adapting to environmental changes, regulating the endocrine system, and controlling reproduction. The present study investigated the sex-specific cerebral responses to chronic hypoxia through an integrated analysis of the transcriptome, proteome, and metabolome of yellow catfish.

Article Synopsis
- SHVV infection causes significant economic losses in snakehead aquaculture, and the role of microRNAs, especially miR-130c-5p, in the viral infection process is being studied.
- Research shows that SHVV infection increases miR-130c-5p levels in channel catfish ovary cells, and manipulating its expression can either inhibit or promote SHVV replication.
- miR-130c-5p not only targets and degrades viral mRNA but also enhances the expression of important immune-related genes, contributing to the host's defense against the virus.

Background: Mitochondria and endoplasmic reticulum (ER) contact sites (MERCS) constitute a functional communication platform for ER and mitochondria, and they play a crucial role in the lipid homeostasis of the liver. However, it remains unclear about the exact effects of MERCs on the neutral lipid synthesis of the liver.
Methods: In this study, the role and mechanism of MERCS in palmitic acid (PA)-induced neutral lipid imbalance in the liver was explored by constructing a lipid metabolism animal model based on yellow catfish.
