Tetrodotoxin/Saxitoxin Accumulation Profile in the Euryhaline Marine Pufferfish Chelonodontops patoca [PDF]
Marine Takifugu pufferfish, which naturally possess tetrodotoxins (TTXs), selectively take up and accumulate TTXs, whereas freshwater Pao pufferfish, which naturally possess saxitoxins (STXs), selectively take up and accumulate STXs.

Lycium barbarum Polysaccharides Alleviate High-Fat Diet–Induced Lipid Metabolism Disorder in Takifugu obscurus [PDF]
Excessive dietary fat intake disrupts lipid metabolism and induces oxidative stress and inflammation in aquatic species, impairing growth and health. In Takifugu obscurus, a widely cultivated fish species in China, fat predominantly accumulates in the ...

Approximation of Pufferfish Privacy for Gaussian Priors
This paper studies how to approximate pufferfish privacy when the adversary's prior belief of the published data is Gaussian distributed. Using Monge's optimal transport plan, we show that $(ε, δ)$-pufferfish privacy is attained if the additive Laplace noise is calibrated to the differences in mean and variance of the Gaussian distributions conditioned

An Update of Tetrodotoxins Toxicity and Risk Assessment Associated to Contaminated Seafood Consumption in Europe: A Systematic Review [PDF]
Following the occurrence of Tetrodotoxins (TTXs) in Europe—a group of neurotoxins identified in Asia, where fatalities occurred after the ingestion of contaminated pufferfish—the EFSA proposed a limit of 44 µg of TTX/kg of shellfish meat in mollusks in ...

Pufferfish is nutritious and delicious, but the tetrodotoxin (TTX) that may exist in its body poses a serious safety hazard. It is important to use scientific and effective methods to detect the TTX in pufferfish, but most of the existing methods require

Poison arrows and pufferfish [PDF]
### Learning Point for Clinicians This report describes attempted suicide through subcutaneous injection of tetrodotoxin, ouabain and ryanodine, and while the method is highly unusual, it highlights common themes in the management of poisoning, in particular the recognition of ‘toxidromes’ and use of all available sources of information. An ambulance

The earliest true vertebrates are represented by fish. The largest fish class, the teleosts or bony fish, contain nearly 20,000 known species. Although this class comprises only about half of all the known vertebrate species, they are probably the least well studied at the molecular level among vertebrate phyla.

EVOLUTION OF PUFFERFISH INFLATION BEHAVIOR [PDF]
The evolution of the extraordinary inflation mechanism of pufferfishes was studied in the light of an independently derived phylogenetic hypothesis of tetraodontiform fishes. Inflation behavior is found in all members of the puffer sister taxa Tetraodontidae and Diodontidae.
