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

Aeromonas hydrophila induces apoptosis in pufferfish, Takifugu obscurus [PDF]
Aeromonas hydrophila is a Gram-negative opportunistic pathogen causing motile aeromonad septicemia, which results in great economic losses in freshwater fish farming. In this study, we investigated the effect of A. hydrophila on apoptosis of pufferfish blood cells. Total blood cell count, reactive oxygen species (ROS) production, cytoplasmic free-Ca2+ (

First LDLRAP1 and Recurrent LDLR Mutations in Tunisian Families With Familial Hypercholesterolemia
ABSTRACT Familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) is a genetic disorder characterised by elevated plasma LDL‐cholesterol, predisposing to premature atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease. Most cases follow an autosomal dominant pattern (ADH) caused by pathogenic variants in LDLR, APOB or PCSK9.
