Tetrodotoxin Poisoning Due to Pufferfish Ingestion in the United Arab Emirates

Cureus, 2023
Tetrodotoxin is a potent neurotoxin that is found in the ovaries and liver of pufferfish. This lethal toxin is heat stable and does not destroy by cooking that is why precaution should be taken when eating pufferfish.

Pufferfish-inspired water purification [PDF]

Science, 2021
Hydrogels Water purification is an energy-intensive, multistep process used to remove contaminants such as salt, heavy metals, oils, or biological pathogens. Xu et al. designed a hydrogel that purifies water using nothing more than sunlight.

Identification of an osteocalcin isoform in fish with a large acidic prodomain [PDF]

, 2014
Osteocalcin is a small, secreted bone protein whose gene consists of four exons. In the course of analyzing the structure of fish osteocalcin genes, we recently found that the spotted green pufferfish has two possible exon 2 structures, one of 15 bp and ...

The quite low cross-reactivity of Kawatsu's anti-tetrodotoxin monoclonal antibody to 5,6,11-trideoxytetrodotoxin, 11-nortetrodotoxin-6(S)-ol, and 11-oxotetrodotoxin, the major tetrodotoxin analogues in pufferfish.

Toxicon, 2023
The monoclonal antibody against tetrodotoxin (TTX), prepared by Kawatsu et al. (1997), has been used in several TTX-related studies. Herein, we confirmed the quite low cross-reactivity of this antibody to three major TTX analogues in pufferfish using ...

Including planocerid flatworms in the diet effectively toxifies the pufferfish, Takifugu niphobles

Scientific Reports, 2018
Beginning with the larval stages, marine pufferfish such as Takifugu niphobles contain tetrodotoxin (TTX), an extremely potent neurotoxin. Although highly concentrated TTX has been detected in adults and juveniles of these fish, the source of the toxin ...

Genome size evolution in pufferfish: an insight from BAC clone-based Diodon holocanthus genome sequencing

BMC Genomics, 2010
Background Variations in genome size within and between species have been observed since the 1950 s in diverse taxonomic groups. Serving as model organisms, smooth pufferfish possess the smallest vertebrate genomes.

Quantifying Differential Privacy in Continuous Data Release under Temporal Correlations [PDF]

, 2019
Differential Privacy (DP) has received increasing attention as a rigorous privacy framework. Many existing studies employ traditional DP mechanisms (e.g., the Laplace mechanism) as primitives to continuously release private data for protecting privacy at
