The effect of age on body energy content of the annual cyprinodont fish, Nothobranchius guentheri.
نویسنده
چکیده
Bomb calorimetry measurements were made on dried whole body samples of N. guentheri in an attempt to detect the effect of age induced protein crosslinking. The results show a clear decrease in body energy with increasing age. However, this decrease was larger than expected and was probably due to a slight decrease in body fat component with increasing age rather than crosslinking alone.

Aging changes in lymphopoietic and myelopoietic organs of the annual cyprinodont fish, Nothobranchius guentheri.
The thymus of aging annual, cyprinodont fish, Nothobranchius guentheri and Cynolebias adloffi begins to undergo senescent changes at approximately four months. At this time, the histopathology reveals increased amounts of connective tissue, epithelial cysts and myoid cells, but decreased numbers of thymocytes. At 12 months, of the 50 fish observed at 10 stages from day 15 and 1, 2, 4, 6, 8, 9, ...

-Body weight and length were followed on individual fish throughout major portions of the lifespan in laboratory populations of the male annual fish, Nothobranchius guentheri. In addition, these same populations, hatched at different times, were killed on the same calendar day, and one half the fish of each population were analyzed for total body fat, water and protein. Since the proportion of ...
متن کاملTime-dependent effects of late-onset dietary intake of salidroside on lifespan and age-related biomarkers of the annual fish Nothobranchius guentheri
One of the most studied and widely accepted conjectures of aging process is the oxidative stress theory. Previous studies have shown that salidroside can protect D-galactose-induced mouse model against aging and a formulation of Rhodiola rosea extracts (SHR-5) containing salidroside increases lifespan of fruit fly. However, direct evidence linking salidroside itself with the observed anti-aging...
متن کاملResveratrol inhibits age-dependent spontaneous tumorigenesis by SIRT1-mediated post-translational modulations in the annual fish Nothobranchius guentheri
Resveratrol, SIRT1 activator, inhibits carcinogenesis predominantly performed in transgenic animal models, orthotopic cancers of nude mice or different cancer cell lines, but its effects during process of spontaneous tumors using vertebrate models remain untested. Spontaneous liver neoplasm is an age-related disease and is inhibited by resveratrol in the annual fish Nothobranchius guentheri, wh...
متن کاملAge structure of annual Nothobranchius fishes in Mozambique: is there a hatching synchrony?
The age structures of populations of African annual Nothobranchius spp. were examined for the first time. Daily increments in sagittal otoliths of Nothobranchius furzeri, Nothobranchius kadleci, Nothobranchius orthonotus and Nothobranchius rachovii from southern and central Mozambique were used for age determination. Four hypotheses were tested: (1) timing of hatching is consistent with the cal...
