The Carcite type of Corbicula japonica shell powder developed at high temperature 500℃ had improved mal-function liver in the LEC rat disorder model, and restored its function. Additional a new bio-function fired was lately found to lower blood sugar level Type 2 diabetes model mouse (KK/TaJcl). These mice were raised with 2.5% for month showed significant 81±23mg that control without 208±86mg ...

Benthic–pelagic couplingmediated by bivalves has been shown to increase the flow of energy towards the benthos. To assess the capability of clams to process and therewith modify the quality of pelagic food sources for subsequent use by benthic invertebrates, we conducted a growth experiment in which juvenile Gammarus roeseliiwere raised either directly on sedimented pelagic autotrophs (algae, c...

Crayfish (Orconectes spp.), Asian clam (Corbicula fluminea), northern hog sucker (hog sucker; Hypentelium nigricans), and smallmouth bass (smallmouth; Micropterus dolomieu) from streams in southeastern Missouri (USA) were analyzed for total mercury (HgT) and for stable isotopes of carbon (δ¹³C), nitrogen (δ¹⁵N), and sulfur (δ³⁴S) to discern Hg transfer pathways. HgT concentrations were generall...
