In this study, chitosan polymer was modified in two different ways and used for the immobilization of bovine liver catalase (CAT). First, it activated with glutaraldehyde (GAL), then covalently immobilized onto support via lysine amino acid residue CAT. second modification, GAL-activated interacted polylysine (pLYS), reactivated GAL CAT immobilization. Samples bare (Chi), (ChiGAL), polylysine-m...

Synthetic herbicides have been intensively used in weed control, although often involved environmental contamination, critically affecting non-target species. However, never was investigated the effect of commercial formulation using atrazine on developing juvenile fish exposed for 35 days. Juveniles (Astyanax altiparanae) (n = 600) were assigned to following ATZ-exposed groups: 0 (CTR-control)...

This study evaluated the effects of nano-curcumin on growth performance, mucosal immunity, antioxidant response, glucose metabolism, and endoplasmic reticulum stress in largemouth bass. Three groups (three replicates/group) 270 fish with mean body weight 7.00 ± 0.02 g were fed diets containing 0% (control), 0.1%, 0.2% for 60 days. The results showed that dietary supplementation had no significa...
