Consumption of the edible sea urchin Mesocentrotus nudus attenuates body weight gain and hepatic lipid accumulation in mice

Journal of Functional Foods, 2018
The beneficial health effects of edible sea urchin consumption in mice fed a normal (ND) or high-fat diet (HFD) were investigated in this study. Notably, sea urchin-administered (250, 500, 1000 mg/kg) mice exhibited lower body, liver, and visceral fat ...

Species and Abundance of Sea Urchins (Diadematidae) on Different Environmental Pressure Conditions

Journal of Tropical Life Science, 2017
Genetic diversity of sea urchin are very high; there are no two organisms of the same species that are exactly alike. Dense aggregation of sea urchin is responsible for the destruction of marine algae communities on coral reef ecosystem.

Use of a free ocean CO₂ enrichment (FOCE) system to evaluate the effects of ocean acidification on the foraging behavior of a deep-sea urchin.

Environmental Science and Technology, 2014
The influence of ocean acidification in deep-sea ecosystems is poorly understood but is expected to be large because of the presumed low tolerance of deep-sea taxa to environmental change.

Amorphous Fe(OH)x‐NiCoP Heterostructures for Efficient Oxygen Evolution

Carbon and Hydrogen, EarlyView.
We synthesized an Fe(OH)x‐NiCoP OER catalyst by electrodepositing amorphous Fe(OH)x onto low‐crystallinity phosphides, forming crystalline‐amorphous interface nanoneedle arrays. ABSTRACT Achieving carbon peak and carbon neutrality goals has driven the development of the hydrogen energy industry, with water electrolysis being a key source of clean ...

The Composition, Diversity and Predictive Metabolic Profiles of Bacteria Associated With the Gut Digesta of Five Sea Urchins in Luhuitou Fringing Reef (Northern South China Sea)

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2019
Sea urchins strongly affect reef ecology, and the bacteria associated with their gut digesta have not been well studied in coral reefs. In the current study, we analyze the bacterial composition of five sea urchin species collected from Luhuitou fringing

Sea urchin barrens as alternative stable states of collapsed kelp ecosystems

, 2014
Sea urchin barrens are benthic communities on rocky subtidal reefs that are dominated by urchins and coralline algae; in the absence of intense herbivory by urchins, these barrens support luxuriant seaweed communities such as kelp beds (or forests ...

Production, Characterization and Biocompatibility of Marine Collagen Matrices from an Alternative and Sustainable Source: The Sea Urchin Paracentrotus lividus

Marine Drugs, 2014
Collagen has become a key-molecule in cell culture studies and in the tissue engineering field. Industrially, the principal sources of collagen are calf skin and bones which, however, could be associated to risks of serious disease transmission. In fact,
