Biomedical potential of the sea.

چکیده
Marine life forms studied in recent years have yielded a variety of organic compounds possessing known or novel pharmacologic and toxicologic activities in mammalian species. Evidence available to date suggests that the sea offers a rich reserve of novel organic molecules which, as such or in structurally modified form, may be useful to mankind either as new drugs to combat disease or as biochemical, physiologic and pharmacologic tools in biomedical research.

Using satellite altimetry derived mean sea level (MSL), geopotential coefficients in terms of ellipsoidal harmonics from recent satellite gravimetry missions, gravity potential values over a grid consisting of 33,486 points at global sea areas are computed and the mean value of the gravity potential at MSL is calculated as a new geoid’s potential value. In this way we have exactly followed the ...
متن کاملToxinology of Marine Venomous Snails
A surprisingly large number of sea snail species are venomous. Cone snail venoms are produced in a lengthy tubular duct from a complex venom gland and form a cocktail of many toxins, particularly conotoxins which have high potency and specificity for their target specific receptors. They inhibit various channels, neuromuscular receptors or hormones of the victim, and interfere in the transmitte...
متن کاملProducing Gravity Acceleration at Sea Surface in Persian Gulf Using Ellipsoidal Splines
In this paper, a method is proposed for producing gravity acceleration at sea surface in the Persian Gulf. This method is based on the Geoid height from satellite altimetry, high resolution Geopotential models, and ellipsoidal splines. First, the definition of the ellipsoidal spline functions is presented in a Hilbert space, which is consisted of infinitely often differentiable functions. In or...

Concentrations of heavy metals were determined in muscles of Kutum (Rutilus frisii kutum) collected from the central part of the southern end of the Caspian Sea during February 2011. Except for silver (Ag) and nickel (Ni) which were below the limits of detection, the average levels of arsenic (As), cadmium (Cd), copper (Co), chromium (Cr), copper (Cu), iron (Fe), manganese (Mn), lead (Pb), sele...
متن کاملAnalysis of fishing trend and prediction of fisheries potential based on catch data analyses (case study: the Caspian Sea)
The simple linear model and catch data from Caspian Sea during a decade were used to assess the state of the fishery in this region. Also fishery trends were analysed to determine the catch fluctuation during the period. Fishing potential of the species for the following year was predicted. Catch trend analyses of bony fishes showed incremental or decreasing patterns for different species. Howe...
متن کاملBiological activities and biomedical potential of sea cucumber (Stichopus japonicus): a review
Members of the phylum Echinodermata, commonly known as echinoderms, are exclusively marine invertebrates. Among the Echinodermata, sea cucumber belongs to the family Holothuroidea. The sea cucumber Stichopus (Apostichous) japonicus (Selenka) is an invertebrate animal inhabiting the coastal sea around Korean, Japan, China, and Russia. Sea cucumber has a significant commercial value, because it c...
