Validation of selective ion flow tube mass spectrometry for fast quantification of volatile bases produced on Atlantic cod (Gadus morhua).

Identification of an albumin-like protein in plasma of Atlantic cod (Gadus morhua) and its biomarker potential for PAH contamination

Increased research efforts are currently focusing on Atlantic cod (Gadus morhua) and its significance for monitoring the contaminant situation in marine environments. Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are well known toxic and carcinogenic compounds, thus continuous monitoring is required to ensure ecosystem sustainability and human food safety. A sensitive biomarker of PAH exposure in hum...

Validation of Endogenous Reference Genes for qPCR Quantification of Muscle Transcripts in Atlantic Cod Subjected to Different Photoperiod Regimes

Electrophysiological properties of pituitary cells in primary culture from Atlantic cod (Gadus morhua).

The aim of the present study was to explore the electrophysiological properties of pituitary cells from Atlantic cod (Gadus morhua), as a basis for future studies of the signaling pathways involved in the control of pituitary secretion in this species. Primary cultures of pituitary cells from maturing Atlantic cod were prepared by trypsin treatment and mechanical dispersion. Electrophysiologica...

The blood volumes of the primary and secondary circulatory system in the Atlantic cod Gadus morhua L, using plasma bound Evans Blue and compartmental analysis.

The volume of the primary (PCS) and secondary (SCS) circulatory system in the Atlantic cod Gadus morhua was determined using a modified dye dilution technique. Cod (N=10) were chronically cannulated in the second afferent branchial artery with PE-50 tubing. Evans Blue dye was bound to harvested fish plasma at a concentration of 1 mg dye ml(-1) plasma, and injected at a concentration of 1 mg kg(...

Proteome analysis of abundant proteins in two age groups of early Atlantic cod (Gadus morhua) larvae.

The protein expression profiles of two different age groups of Atlantic cod larvae, at 6 days post hatch (dph) and 24 dph, were compared using 2-dimensional electrophoresis and MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry analysis. The life stage of the cod larvae under study covers the first feeding period, generally characterized by high mortality in cod hatcheries. Despite visible morphological and functiona...
