Dietary Astragalus Polysaccharides Can Improve the Immune Capacity and Reproductive Performance of the Lined Seahorse (Hippocampus erectus)

Biology
Seahorse (Hippocampus spp.) is popular in the markets of traditional Chinese medicine, aquarium, and curio. In order to protect wild stocks and still meet the market demand, China attempted the large-scale cultivation of seahorses in the early 21st ...

Microbial communities and arsenic biogeochemistry at the outflow of an alkaline sulfide-rich hot spring. [PDF]

, 2016
Alkaline sulfide-rich hot springs provide a unique environment for microbial community and arsenic (As) biogeochemistry. In this study, a representative alkaline sulfide-rich hot spring, Zimeiquan in the Tengchong geothermal area, was chosen to study ...

Diabetes‐induced vascular calcification is associated with low pyrophosphate and its oral supplementation prevents calcification in diabetic mice

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Induction of diabetes in three different mouse strains uniformly resulted in an increase in TNAP activity and a reduction in pyrophosphate (PPi) in the circulation. Inhibition of TNAP restored plasma PPi. Diabetes‐induced calcification in the media layer of the aorta was detected only in the Abcc6−/− strain, which is predisposed to ectopic ...

Calcium‐sensing receptor induces the apoptosis of chondrocytes in cooperation with phosphate transporter

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Excess Ca2+ ions activate the Calcium‐Sensing Receptor (CaSR), which subsequently drives the uptake of excess inorganic phosphate (Pi) via the Pi transporter (Pit−1) in chondrocytes. This mechanism causes a toxic increase in intracellular Pi concentration, ultimately leading to chondrocyte apoptosis and pathological mineralization. Excess extracellular

Alkalinity

, 2011
The term “Alkalinity ,” commonly denoted by TA (also AT, ALK, and others) and then called titration alkalinity or total alkalinity, refers to a very important chemical concept in aquatic chemistry. Total alkalinity is one of the few measurable quantities in natural waters that allows, together with other properties, to calculate concentrations of ...

Females increase reproductive investment when mated to less sexually attractive males in a serially monogamous fish

Scientific Reports
Reproductive investment decision is an integral part of life-history theory. Differential allocation hypothesis predicts that females should increase investment when mated to high-quality males, conversely, reproductive compensation hypothesis predicts ...

Multi-omics analysis identifies Rch-miR156 as a regulator of salt tolerance in heterografted Rosa plants

Plant Stress
Rosa chinensis is commonly grafted onto salt-tolerant rootstocks to mitigate salinity stress, yet the molecular mechanisms underlying heterografting-induced adaptations in both the scion and rootstock remain unclear.
