SEASONAL VARIATION IN PROXIMATE COMPOSITION OF GREEN MUSSEL (Perna viridis, LINN. 1758) FROM MOHESHKHALI CHANNEL, THE BAY OF BENGAL, BANGLADESH

Seasonal variation of oxidative biomarkers in gills and digestive gland of green-lipped mussel Perna viridis from Arabian Sea

Subcellular controls of silver biokinetics in the green mussel Perna viridis from two hydrographic zones

The roles of subcellular distribution on silver (Ag) accumulation and elimination in the green mussel Perna viridis collected from 2 hydrographical zones (harbour vs. estuarine) in Hong Kong during 3 different seasons were investigated. Ag concentration and biokinetics varied widely between the 2 zones, but were less variable among the different seasons (pre-wet, wet and dry). The harbour popul...

Proximate Composition of Different Portion of Hilsa, Tenualosa Ilisha from Two Regions of the Bay of Bengal in Bangladesh

Tenualosa ilisha from Chittagong and Khulna regions of the Bay of Bengal was analyzed which showed that proximate compositions varied among the different portions of fish body. The highest value of moisture found in dorsal portion of the fish (Khulna region) whereas the lowest value of moisture found in caudal portion of the fish (Chittagong region) were 56.59 and 54.69%, ...

Glycosylated hydroxytryptophan in a mussel adhesive protein from Perna viridis.

The 3,4-dihydroxyphenyl-l-alanine (Dopa)-containing proteins of mussel byssus play a critical role in wet adhesion and have inspired versatile new synthetic strategies for adhesives and coatings. Apparently, however, not all mussel adhesive proteins are beholden to Dopa chemistry. The cDNA-deduced sequence of Pvfp-1, a highly aromatic and redox active byssal coating protein in the green mussel ...

Toxicity Profile of a Nutraceutical Formulation Derived from Green Mussel Perna viridis

The short-term (acute) and long-term (subchronic) toxicity profile, mean lethal dose 50 (LD50), and no-observed-adverse-effect level (NOAEL) of a nutraceutical formulation developed from green mussel Perna viridis, which showed in vitro and in vivo anti-inflammatory properties, were evaluated in the present study. The formulation was administered to the male and female Wistar rats at graded dos...
