Purification and characterization of recombinant pufferfish (Takifugu rubripes) leptin

General and Comparative Endocrinology, 2008
Synthetic cDNA encoding pufferfish (Takifugu rubripes) leptin (pfLEP) was prepared according to the published sequence. The pfLEP, transformed into Escherichia coli and expressed upon induction with nalidixic acid, was found almost entirely in the insoluble inclusion bodies (IBs).

Production of Tiger Puffer Takifugu rubripes Offspring from Triploid Grass Puffer Takifugu niphobles Parents

Marine Biotechnology, 2017
The tiger puffer Takifugu rubripes is one of the most popular aquacultural fish; however, there are two major obstacles to selective breeding. First, they have a long generation time of 2 or 3 years until maturation. Second, the parental tiger puffer has a body size (2-5 kg) much larger than average market size (0.6-1.0 kg).

Low-salinity tolerance of juvenile fugu Takifugu rubripes

Fisheries Science, 2005
To study the adaptability of juvenile fugu Takifugu rubripes to low-salinity environments, fish were transferred from full-strength seawater (100% SW) to freshwater (FW) and 25, 50, 75 and 100% SW, and checked for mortality over 3 days. No mortality was observed in 25–100% SW, whereas all fish died in FW.

Genetic parameter estimates for three antioxidant factors in cultured Takifugu rubripes

Fish & Shellfish Immunology, 2021
Genetic parameters of three antioxidant factors, including superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT) and glutathione peroxidase (GPX), were evaluated in liver samples from 840 Takifugu rubripes individuals from 28 full-sib families. Heritability values of SOD, CAT, and GPX were 0.17, 0.18, and 0.14, respectively, and the full-sib family effect values ...

Tetrodotoxin distribution in natural hybrids between the pufferfish species Takifugu rubripes and Takifugu porphyreus

Fisheries Science, 2018
Natural hybrids among pufferfishes belonging to the genus Takifugu have been reported occasionally, yet very little is known about their toxicity. To study the tetrodotoxin (TTX) distribution in the bodies of natural hybrids, 10 putative hybrids between Takifugu rubripes and Takifugu porphyreus, which differ in the toxicity of the skin (the former is ...

Genetic Basis Underlying Behavioral Correlation Between Fugu Takifugu rubripes and a Closely Related Species, Takifugu niphobles

Behavior Genetics, 2015
Correlated suits of behaviors (behavioral syndrome) are commonly observed in both inter- and intraspecific studies. In order to understand the genetic basis of such a correlation between species, we compared ten behaviors classified into five categories (acclimation, feeding, normal swimming, reaction to a novel object and activity in a novel ...

Novel mannose-specific lectins found in torafugu, Takifugu rubripes: A review

Comparative Biochemistry and Physiology Part D: Genomics and Proteomics, 2006
In earlier work, we identified a novel mannose-specific lectin, termed pufflectin-s, from the skin mucus of torafugu, Takifugu rubripes. We here make a brief review on the lectin. The amino acid sequence of pufflectin-s shares sequence homology with mannose-binding lectins of monocotyledonous plants, and has conserved two of three carbohydrate ...

Temperature-control-induced masculinization in tiger puffer Takifugu rubripes

Journal of Oceanology and Limnology, 2019
This study used tiger puffer Takifugu rubripes to explore new, simple methods for low-temperature-induced masculinization in a cultured fish without the use of ultraviolet irradiation or sex hormones. An orthogonal test L9(34) design was used to consider three factors at three levels: treatment starting times (days post-hatch, dph: factor A) of 20, 50 ...

5, 6, 11-trideoxy tetrodotoxin attracts tiger puffer Takifugu rubripes

Toxicon
Tetrodotoxin (TTX) is a potent neurotoxin that binds to voltage-gated sodium channels and blocks the passage of sodium ions. TTX is widely distributed in both terrestrial and marine organisms, and the toxic puffers are believed to accumulate TTX through the food chain.

Seven novel umami peptides from Takifugu rubripes and their taste characteristics

Food Chemistry, 2020
Pufferfish is worldwide known for its umami taste. Previous studies showed that umami peptide played a key role in taste perception of pufferfish. In order to more explain the umami taste of pufferfish in details, this study was aimed to identify more umami peptides from pufferfish. The extraction of Takifugu rubripes (T. rubripes) muscle after heating
