Prevalences of pathogenic and non-pathogenic Vibrio parahaemolyticus in mollusks from the Spanish Mediterranean Coast
(Frontiers Media, 2015-07-21)
Vibrio parahaemolyticus is a well-recognized pathogen of humans. To better understand the ecology of the human-pathogenic variants of this bacterium in the environment, a study on the prevalence in ...
Insect glycerol transporters evolved by functional co-option and gene replacement
(Nature Research, 2015-07-17)
Transmembrane glycerol transport is typically facilitated by aquaglyceroporins in Prokaryota and Eukaryota. In holometabolan insects however, aquaglyceroporins are absent, yet several species possess ...
The pH sensitivity of Aqp0 channels in tetraploid and diploid teleosts
(Wiley Open Access, 2015-02-09)
Water homeostasis and the structural integrity of the vertebrate lens is partially mediated by AQP0
channels. Emerging evidence indicates that external pH may be involved in channel gating. Here we ...
Mating behaviour and gamete release in gilthead seabream (Sparus aurata, Linnaeus 1758) held in captivity
(Instituto Nacional de Investigación y Tecnología Agraria y Alimentaria, 2015-02-11)
The present study aimed to describe the reproductive behaviour of gilthead seabream (Sparus aurata) in captivity. Twenty-four mature gilthead seabream, divided in two tanks, were utilized for the present ...
Mitochondrial aquaporin-8-mediated hydrogen peroxide transport is essential for teleost spermatozoon motility
(Nature Research, 2015-01-14)
Reactive oxygen species (ROS), particularly hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), cause oxidative cell damage and inhibit sperm function. In most oviparous fishes that spawn in seawater (SW), spermatozoa may be ...
Arachidonic Acid and Eicosapentaenoic Acid Metabolism in Juvenile Atlantic Salmon as Affected by Water Temperature
(Public Library of Science, 2015-11-24)
Salmons raised in aquaculture farms around the world are increasingly subjected to suboptimal environmental conditions, such as high water temperatures during summer seasons. Aerobic scope increases and ...
Phylogenomic and functional analyses of salmon lice aquaporins uncover the molecular diversity of the superfamily in Arthropoda
(BMC, 2015-08-19)
Background: An emerging field in biomedical research is focusing on the roles of aquaporin water channels in parasites that cause debilitating or lethal diseases to their vertebrate hosts. The primary ...
Gonadotropin-Activated AndrogenDependent and Independent Pathways Regulate Aquaporin Expression during Teleost (Sparus aurata) Spermatogenesis
(Public Library of Science, 2015-11-17)
The mediation of fluid homeostasis by multiple classes of aquaporins has been suggested to be essential during spermatogenesis and spermiation. In the marine teleost gilthead seabream (Sparus aurata), ...
Spray-dried plasma promotes growth, modulates the activity of antioxidant defenses, and enhances the immune status of gilthead sea bream (Sparus aurata) fingerlings
(Oxford University Press, 2015-01-01)
Terrestrial animal byproduct meals, including nonruminant blood meal and blood products, represent the largest and largely untapped safe source of animal protein available within the international market ...
