Eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA, 20:5n-3) is being explored as a therapy in neurological diseases and disorders. Although it known that palmitate the most abundant fatty brain while EPA one of lowest, mechanism by which maintains this balance unclear. Therefore, to trace metabolism these acids brain, (14) C-palmitate or C-EPA was administered via intracerebroventricular infusion rats. From 4 128 days post-infusion, brains were collected after head-focused, high-energy microwave irradiation for...

Fatty liver and intestinal barrier damage were widespread in most farmed fish, which severely restrict the development of aquaculture. Therefore, there was an urgent need to develop green feed additives maintain host health. In this study, a probiotic pili-like protein, Amuc_1100 (AM protein), anchored surface Lactococcus lactis ZHY1, effects recombinant bacteria AM-ZHY1 on fat accumulation health evaluated. Zebrafish fed basal diet, high-fat diet with (108 cfu/g) or control ZHY1 for 4...

A 56-day feeding trial was conducted to evaluate the effect of different dietary protein sources on growth performance, muscle flavor substances, and quality structure Triploid Crucian Carp. Three isonitrogenous (32.00%), isolipidic (8.00%), isoenergetic (18.00 MJ kg−1) practical diets were formulated. These consisted fishmeal as animal-derived source (AP), a combination soybean meal rapeseed plant-derived (PP), mixture fishmeal, meal, mixed (MP). Each diet randomly assigned triplicate tanks...

Transient receptor potential ankyrin 1 (TRPA1) is a key player in pain and neurogenic inflammation, localized nociceptive primary sensory dorsal root ganglion (DRG) neurons. TRPA1 plays major role the transmission of signals. The generation inflammation appears to involve TRPA1-evoked release calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP). However, it remains unknown whether or CGRP expression affected by activation. Thus, this study, we examined DRG neurons vitro after treatment with activator...
