Food Safety and Health, EarlyView.This study shows the protective effects of potential probiotic strain of Pediococci strains against diarrheal Escherichia coli strains in Caenorhabditis elegans model system. The E. coli strains resulted in severe morphological and physiological damage to the worm whereas the probiotic interventions were able to reduce these damages.

Molecular Characterization, Developmental Expression and Immunolocalization of Clathrin Heavy Chain in the Ovary of the American Cockroach, Periplaneta Americana During Oogenesis [PDF]
, 2012 Clathrin is the principal protein involved in receptor mediate endocytosis and the main component of the coated vesicles. It is composed of three identical clathrin heavy chains (CHC), each with an attached light chain. We characterized the deduced amino

A novel tilapia prolactin receptor is functionally distinct from its paralog [PDF]
, 2009 A novel tilapia prolactin (PRL) receptor (OmPRLR2) was identified based on its induction during hyperosmotic stress. OmPRLR2 protein shows 28% identity to tilapia OmPRLR1 and 26% identity to human PRLR.

Duplication, concerted evolution and purifying selection drive the evolution of mosquito vitellogenin genes [PDF]
, 2010 Background Mosquito vitellogenin (Vtg) genes belong to a small multiple gene family that encodes the major yolk protein precursors required for egg production. Multiple Vtg genes have been cloned and characterized from several mosquito species, but their

Egg yolk hydrolysate shows moderate impact on osteoporosis in ovariectomized rats
Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.Abstract BACKGROUND This study investigated the protective effect of egg yolk hydrolysate (FC) on osteoporosis in ovariectomized (OVX) rats, a well‐established model of postmenopausal bone loss. OVX rats were fed diets supplemented with 0.2% or 1% FC for 13 weeks.

Biosynthesis of mosquito vitellogenin.
Journal of Biological Chemistry, 1990 Vitellogenin (Vg), the hemolymph precursor to the major yolk protein in mosquitoes, is synthesized in the fat body of blood-fed females. Mosquito Vg consists of two subunits with Mr = 200,000 and 66,000. Here, we demonstrate that both the Vg subunits are first synthesized as a single precursor.
