Effects of salinity on food intake, growth, and survival of pufferfish (Fugu obscurus)
, 2004 The food intake, growth, food conversion ratio and survival of yearling pufferfish, Fugu obscurus Abe, were investigated under different water salinity conditions over a 54-day period. Within the salinity regimes of 0 (freshwater), 8, 18, and 35parts per

Description of embryonic development of spotted green pufferfish (Tetraodon nigroviridis)
, 2014 Pufferfish species of the Tetraodontidae family carry the smallest genomes among vertebrates. Their compressed genomes are thought to be enriched for functional DNA compared to larger vertebrate genomes, and they are important models for comparative ...

Adaptive evolution of the vertebrate skeletal muscle sodium channel
Genetics and Molecular Biology, 2011 Tetrodotoxin (TTX) is a highly potent neurotoxin that blocks the action potential by selectively binding to voltage-gated sodium channels (Na v). The skeletal muscle Na v (Na v1.4) channels in most pufferfish species and certain North American garter ...

The molecular mechanism and evolutionary divergence of caspase 3/7-regulated gasdermin E activation
eLifeCaspase (CASP) is a family of proteases involved in cleavage and activation of gasdermin, the executor of pyroptosis. In humans, CASP3 and CASP7 recognize the same consensus motif DxxD, which is present in gasdermin E (GSDME).
