BACKGROUND The common carp is an important aquaculture species that is widely distributed across the world. During the long history of carp domestication, numerous carp strains with diverse skin colors have been established. Skin color is used as a visual criterion to determine the market value of carp. However, the genetic basis of common carp skin color has not been extensively studied. MET...

BACKGROUND Antibodies against carbamylated proteins (anti-CarP) have been recently identified in the sera of patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA). The objective of the study was to evaluate the prevalence, sensitivity and specificity of anti-CarP compared to anti-citrullinated peptide antibodies (ACPA) and rheumatoid factor (RF), replicating the existing data in a large cohort of Italian pat...

Abstract Molluscicide of fentin acetate (C 20 H 18 O 2 Sn) is commonly used at the present due to effective in terms control molluscs rice field. The aims this experiment determine toxicity effect on growth, productivity, and blood glucose common carp, Cyprinus carpio cultured field water. A 12 plots with size 25m each were used. stocking density carp was 25 fish/m for plot. culture period 21 d...

OBJECTIVE Cardiac ankyrin repeat protein (CARP) is a transcription factor-related protein that has been studied most extensively in the heart. In the present study, we investigated the expression and the potential function of CARP in human and murine atherosclerosis. METHODS AND RESULTS CARP expression was observed by in situ hybridization in endothelial cells lining human atherosclerotic pla...

There is a large body of evidence that n-3 fatty acids, especially EPA and DHA are beneficial for human health. Content of these fatty acids in fish fillet can be influenced by several factors. This thesis examined differences in lipid content, lipid class and fatty acid composition among three parts of common carp fillets. The effect of genetic background on lipid content and fatty acid compos...

Transforming growth factor (TGF)-beta plays a major role in the development of vascular diseases. Despite the pleiotropic effects of TGF-ss on vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs), only a few genes have been characterized as direct targets of TGF-beta in VSMCs. Cardiac ankyrin repeat protein (CARP) has been thought to be expressed exclusively in the heart. In the present study, we showed that C...

This paper presents the effect on circular polarization of multilayer circular annular ring patch (CARP). A CARP have been fabricated on FR4 substrate of dielectric constant 4.2 and thickness 1.52mm. Experimental resonant frequency impedance bandwidth and Axial ratio of simple CARP, covered CARP, spaced dielectric CARP and CARP with two superstrates have been measured and simulated using full w...

We isolated a high-purity carp glycophorin from carp erythrocyte membranes following extraction using the lithium diiodosalicylate (LIS)-phenol method and streptomycin treatment. The main carp glycophorin was observed to locate at the position of the carp and human band-3 proteins on an SDS-polyacrylamide gel. Only the N-glycolylneuraminic acid (NeuGc) form of sialic acid was detected in the ca...

Deregulated signaling by the epidermal growth factor receptor family of proteins is encountered in human malignancies including breast cancer. Cell cycle and apoptosis-regulatory protein-1 (CARP-1), a novel, perinuclear phosphoprotein, is a regulator of apoptosis signaling by epidermal growth factor receptors. CARP-1 expression is diminished in human breast cancers, and correlates inversely wit...

background: biofloc technology is considered  a method that degrades organic waste by microorganisms and produces bacterial flocculation. objectives: this study was performed to evaluate of the application of biofloc technology in therearing of common carp (cyprinus carpio) fingerlings in intensive culture. methods: the experiment was designed in four treatments (commercial diet as a control, 7...
