The B-cell lymphoma 2 (BCL-2)-related ovarian killer (BOK) shares sequence homology with the proapoptotic BCL-2 family members BAX and BAK. However, Bok cells are not protected from classic apoptotic triggers and evidence for a proapoptotic role of BOK is derivedmostly from overexpression studies (1). BOK localizes preferentially to the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) membrane, where it interacts wi...

A 96-h LC(50) values of 2,4-D [(2,4-dichlorophenoxy)acetic acid], a common contaminating agricultural herbicide, were determined on the adult common carp (Cyprinus carpio L., 1758; Pisces, Cyprinidae). The study was conducted in two stages using 130 carp. The data obtained were statistically evaluated by the use of the EPA computer program based on Finney's Probit Analysis Method and a 96-h LC(...

Predator cues and diet, when studied separately, have been shown to affect body shape of organisms. Previous studies show that the morphological responses to predator absence/presence and diet may be similar, and hence could confound the interpretation of the causes of morphological differences found between groups of individuals. In this study, we simultaneously examined the effect of these tw...

Cyprinus carpio termasuk ikan yang bernilai ekonomis tinggi serta cukup diminati karena rasa enak dan daging lunak. Namun dalam usaha pembesarannya, ini membutuhkan ketersediaan pakan secara kontinyu, sehingga agar memperoleh keuntungan, pembudidaya harus berinovasi untuk mencari alternatif pakan. Tujuan penelitian adalah menguji efektivitas penggunaan tepung udang rebon (Acetes indicus) pertum...

An investigation on antioxidative properties of different molecular weight fractions protein hydrolysate produced from Common carp (Cyprinus carpio) head

the populations of wild carp (cyprinus carpio carpio), as a commercially valuable species in the southeast iranian waters of the caspian sea, have been severely declined during last three decades, but there is no comprehensive research available on the biology of this species in this area. the age, growth and reproductive aspects of samples collected during 2009-2010 fishing season were measure...

Here, we report a transcriptome sequence of Trypanoplasma borreli isolated from its natural host, the common carp, Cyprinus carpio The transcriptome allows an analysis of abundant cell surface proteins and acts as a comparator for understanding the evolution and pathogenicity of other Kinetoplastida, including several that infect humans.

One of the most important scientific disciplines is determining toxicity heavy metals in freshwater, and there a rising concern about development methodologies for identifying toxic effects aquatic creatures. To test efficacy this approach, an experimental study was conducted on fish Cyprinus carpio from pond Bengaluru, Karnataka. Surface bioaccumulation mercury lead studies using Scanning Elec...

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are a class of small non-coding RNAs involved in post-transcriptional gene regulation. Some viruses encode their own miRNAs and these are increasingly being recognized as important modulators of viral and host gene expression. Cyprinid herpesvirus 3 (CyHV-3) is a highly pathogenic agent that causes acute mass mortalities in carp (Cyprinus carpio carpio) and koi (Cyprinus carp...
