Oral administration of Gum Arabic: effects on haematological parameters and oxidative stress markers in Mugil cephalus
Authors
Abstract:
The aim of this research was to investigate the effects of the oral administration of Gum Arabic on haematological and some oxidative stress markers in Mugil cephalus. For this purpose 60 mullet caught in Faro Lake (Italy), were acclimatized and fed with commercial diet for 20 days prior to the start of experiment, which lasted 15 days. After acclimatization, fish were randomly divided into two equal groups: control group was fed with commercial pellets. Haematological profile on whole blood and sera was assessed, reactive oxygen metabolites (d-ROMs), antioxidant barrier (OXY-ads) and thiol-antioxidant barrier (SHp) were immediately assessed by means of a UV spectrophotometer. Two-way repeated data analysis (ANOVA) showed significant changes only on Thrombocyte Count (TC). In the experimental group an increase in OXY-ads and SHp levels and a significant decrease of d-ROMs were observed after administration of GA.

full textEffect of Three Different Anticoagulants and Storage Time on Haematological Parameters of Mugil cephalus (Linneaus, 1758)
Anticoagulants and storage time’s effect on hemogram and differential leukocyte count in 26 Mugil cephalus was investigated. After blood collection, samples were put, in three microtubes containing respectively: ethylenediamine tetraacetic acid (EDTA), heparin, sodium citrate. Analysis were assessed immediately (T0) and 24 h (refrigerated at +4°C) after collection (T24). Statistical analysis sh...

The striped mullet is in the order Mugiliformes, family Mugilidae. There are nine species of mullet found in the western central Atlantic, the most common being the striped mullet, Mugil cephalus Linnaeus, 1758. There are two species of mullet found in South Carolina territorial waters, the striped (M. cephalus) and white mullet (M. curema). The remaining species within this family are found mo...

The objective of this study was to determine the liver oxidative stress status of grey mullets living in heavy-metal-rich polluted Ennore estuary compared with unpolluted Kovalam estuary. Fish were collected from both estuaries during the monsoon and summer seasons from October 2004 to September 2006. Fish liver homogenate (N = 20 per group) was prepared for evaluating oxidative stress paramete...

This study was designed to evaluate the effects of nanocurcumin (NC) on oxidative stress and histology of embryonic chicken heart. NC was injected into the yolk of 4-day-old embryonic eggs at one of three doses: 10 ppm (NC10 group), 100 ppm (NC100 group), and 1000 ppm (NC1000 group). The control group received normal saline. Oxidative stress in heart tissue was evaluated by measuring malondiald...
full textDevelopment and characterization of polymorphic microsatellite markers in the gray mullet (Mugil cephalus).
Using an (AG)13 enriched genomic library of Mugil cephalus, 12 polymorphic microsatellite loci were isolated and characterized in a test population; the number of alleles ranged from 2 to 11. The observed and expected heterozygosities ranged from 0.2593 to 0.8966 and from 0.3047 to 0.8454, respectively. Two loci deviated from Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium; linkage disequilibrium among the 12 loci ...
