Sex Determination: The Fishy Tale of Dmrt1
The idea that the Dmrt1 gene provides a unifying sex-determining mechanism in non-mammalian vertebrates is left high and dry by recent observations in fish.
متن کاملRibbon Synapses: Anchors away for a Fishy Tale
Genetic screens in flies and worms have long been a powerful way of identifying proteins that regulate synaptic transmission. A recent study of ribbon synapses in the retina of zebrafish is an excellent example of how this approach can now be applied to a vertebrate species.
متن کاملFishy Business: Effect of Omega-3 Fatty Acids on Zinc Transporters and Free Zinc Availability in Human Neuronal Cells
Omega-3 (ω-3) fatty acids are one of the two main families of long chain polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA). The main omega-3 fatty acids in the mammalian body are α-linolenic acid (ALA), docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) and eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA). Central nervous tissues of vertebrates are characterized by a high concentration of omega-3 fatty acids. Moreover, in the human brain, DHA is conside...
متن کاملChronic omega-3 supplementation in seizure-prone versus seizure-resistant rat strains: a cautionary tale.
Several studies have shown fatty acid supplementation to be efficacious in the treatment of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder/autism spectrum disorder (ADHD/ASD) and epilepsy. Interestingly, rats bred to be seizure-prone (Fast), unlike those bred for seizure-resistance (Slow), naturally exhibit behaviors and physiology reminiscent of ADHD/ASD in humans, suggesting a fundamental link betw...
متن کاملOmega-3 fatty acids and cardiovascular disease: The epidemiological evidence.
Epidemiological studies in the last 40 years suggest that omega-3 fatty acids derived from fish and fish oil decrease the risk of coronary heart disease, hypertension and stroke, and their complications. The beneficial effects of omega-3 fatty acids include effects on lipids, blood pressure, cardiac and vascular function, eicosanoids, coagulation, and immunological responses. However, not all p...
