Functional divergence of fabp genes in common carp and the effects of high-fat diets supplemented with linalool on growth, fatty acid composition and fabp gene expressions.

The fatty acid-binding protein (fabp) genes involved in β-oxidation were identified and characterized in the common carp (Cyprinus carpio) genome. Fish were then fed high-fat diets supplemented with various amounts of linalool, a natural peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor α ligand, for 9 weeks. We determined that C.

Fatty acid-binding protein genes in gilthead seabream: molecular cloning and nutritional regulation under low water temperatures.

The molecular characteristics and tissue disruption of 10 fatty acid-binding protein (fabp) genes in gilthead seabream (Sparus aurata) were investigated, and their expression levels were found in the fish fed diets with different vegetable oil (VO) sources, which may explore the potential function of fabp genes in S. aurata. For this purpose, the open reading frames of fabp genes involved in the transport and ß-oxidation of fatty acids (FA) were molecularly cloned and characterized.

High serum 8-hydroxy-2'-deoxyguanosine levels predict DNA damage and aging in professional divers.

Objective: Reactive oxygen species and oxygen free radicals cause oxidative damage to lipids, proteins, and cell DNA in the cell membrane. Although many DNA products are produced during oxidative DNA damage, 8-hydroxy-2'-deoxyguanosine (8-OHdG) is the most common one, since it can be produced in in vivo environment. In recent years, diving has been done quite frequently for business and sports purposes all over the world.

Potential interaction between plastic litter and green turtle Chelonia mydas during nesting in an extremely polluted beach.

This study examines the extent of macroplastic pollution on Samandağ beach and the potential effects on green sea turtles during nesting. For this purpose, a total of 39 different turtle tracks were studied. Mean plastic concentration was found to be 19.
