Effects of hypoxia, anoxia, and endogenous ethanol on thermoregulation in goldfish, Carassius auratus.

Effects of Lactobacillus casei probiotics on growth performance, blood parameters and intestinal microbial flora in juvenile goldfish (Carassius auratus)

Lactobacillus casei probiotic is one of the probiotics used in aquaculture industry. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of Lactobacillus casei probiotic on the growth performance, blood parameters, and intestinal microbial flora in goldfish (Carassius auratus) for 60 days. In this study, 180 fish with an average weight of 10.11± 0.16 g were randomly distributed into two treatments...

Effects of cortisol on tesicular apoptosis in goldfish (Carassius auratus)

Apoptosis is a programmed cell death that has been attributed to the action of stress hormones, such as cortisol. We investigated the in vitro effect of cortisol in goldfish (Carassius auratus) mature (GSI: 2.75-4.65) or immature (GSI: 1.94-2.4) testes. Testes were taken out and transferred into culture medium (M 199), cut into 20 mm thick slices and supplemented with fetal bovine serum (FBS), ...

AMP-activated protein kinase activity during metabolic rate depression in the hypoxic goldfish, Carassius auratus.

Cell survival during hypoxia exposure requires a metabolic reorganization to decrease ATP demands to match the reduced capacity for ATP production. We investigated whether AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) activity responds to 12 h exposure to severe hypoxia ( approximately 0.3 mg O2 l(-1)) in the anoxia-tolerant goldfish (Carassius auratus). Hypoxia exposure in goldfish was characterized by ...

Effects of different protein sources on growth performance and food consumption of goldfish, Carassius auratus

Effects of troxerutin on mRNA expression of the genes encoding lysozyme and tumor necrosis factor-α and histology in goldfish (Carassius auratus) skin

Troxerutin, a derivative of the natural bioflavonoid rutin, has important biological effects, including immunostimulatory activity. This study aimed to evaluate the effects of dietary troxerutin supplement on histology and mRNA expression of the genes encoding lysozyme and tumor necrosis factor-α in goldfish, Carassius auratus skin. Fish fingerlings with mean initial weights of 2.74 ± 0.08 g we...
