Authors: H.-T. Ma, C.-F. Jia, J.-M. Yang, F. Wang, R. Xue, C.-H. Han and H.-B. Jiang
The Korean rockfish Sebastes schlegeli is a valuable recreational and commercial fish in China, and is cultured in land-based tanks and net cages. Fifteen microsatellite markers were developed for this species, and their polymorphisms were examined in a population. The allele number of the 15 markers ranged from 2 to 13, with an average of 5.933 per locus.. Read More»

Long-term effects of evodiamine on expressions of lipogenesis and lipolysis genes in mouse adipose and liver tissues
Authors: D.F. Jiang, W.T. Li2, H.L. Yang, Z.Z. Zhang, D. Chen and C. Sun
Evodiamine, the major alkaloid component isolated from the fruit of dried, unripened Evodia rutaecarpa Bentham, affects the plasma levels of cholecystokinin and various biological events such as gastric emptying and gastrointestinal transit; these effects of evodiamine were previously investigated in male rats. In this study, .. Read More»

Comparative analysis of mucosal immunity to Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae in Jiangquhai porcine lean strain and DLY piglets
Authors: L.Z. Hua, Y.Z. Wu, F.F. Bai, K.K. William, Z.X. Feng, M.J. Liu, J.T. Yao, X. Zhang and G.Q. Shao
The Jiangquhai porcine lean strain (JQHPL) is a new pork meat-type strain that has been developed in recent years from the parent lines Duroc, Fengjing, and Jiangquhai pigs (DurocxFengjing pigxJiangquhai pig). Enzootic pneumonia (EP) in pigs induced by Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae (M. hyopneumoniae) is a chronic .. Read More»

Influence of environmental static electric field on antioxidant enzymes activities in hepatocytes of mice
Authors: S.X. Wu, Y.Q. Xu, G.Q. Di, J.H. Jiang, L. Xin and T.Y. Wu
With the increasing voltage of direct current transmission line, the intensity of the environmental static electric field has also increased. Thus, whether static electric fields cause biological injury is an important question. In this study, the effects of chronic exposure to environmental static electric fields on some antioxidant enzymes activities in.. Read More»

Molecular cloning, characterization, and expression analysis of a Broad-Complex homolog during development in the oriental river prawn Macrobrachium nipponense
Authors: S.F. Jiang, Y.P. Zhang, S.M. Sun, Y.S. Gong, Y.W. Xiong, H. Qiao, W.Y. Zhang, S.B. Jin and H.T. Fu
Broad-Complex (BR-C) is an early ecdysone-responsive gene encoding a family of zinc-finger transcription factors. In this study, we isolated the full-length cDNA of a BR-C homolog from the testes of the oriental river prawn (Macrobrachium nipponense), according to established expressed sequence tag information, using the rapid amplification of cDNA ends t..

Genetic structure and diversity in natural and stocked populations of the mandarin fish (Siniperca chuatsi) in China
Authors: M. Yang, C. Tian, X.-F. Liang, H. Zheng, C. Zhao and K. Zhu
The Chinese perch, or mandarin fish (Siniperca chuatsi), is a freshwater fish that is endemic to East Asia. In this study, we investigated the genetic diversity and structure of nine natural mandarin fish populations (from the Yangtze River and Amur River basins) and six hatchery stocks (from central and south China) using microsatellite markers. The resu.. Read More»

Genetic variation and population structure of two species of neo-tropical mud-mussels (Mytella spp)
Authors: Miguel E.G.C. de Oliveira, Claudia A.M. Russo, Cristiano Lazoski, Paulo Roberto F.G. Vianna and Antonio M. Sol�©-Cava
Mytella guyanensis Lamarck (1819) and Mytella charruana d’Orbigny (1846) are widespread euryhaline bivalves that have become commercially important in Brazil. Despite their importance, however, no genetic information that would be useful to orient governmental policies is available for these species. We analyzed, through.. Read More»

Effects and mechanism of cerebroprotein hydrolysate on learning and memory ability in mice
Authors: L. An, X. Han, H. Li, Y. Ma, L. Shi, G. Xu, G. Yuan, J. Sun, N. Zhao, Y. Sheng, M. Wang and P. Du
Cerebroprotein hydrolysate is an extract from porcine brain tissue that acts on the central nervous system in various ways to protect neurons and improve memory, attention, and vigilance. This study examined the effect and mechanism of cerebroprotein hydrolysate on learning and memory in mice with scopolamine-induced impairment. Mice were given an intrape.. Read More»

Pharmacology of a traditional Chinese herb, Shuangren-Anshen capsule, in a hemorrhage mouse model by using an orthogonal array design
Authors: X.X. Liu, A. Agudamu, X. Zhang, Y. Wei, X. Song and Y.L. Li
Shuangren-Anshen capsule (SAC) is a traditional Chinese herb that was improved in our laboratory. An orthogonal experiment [L9(3)4] was used to optimize the extraction conditions. In vivo, a hemorrhage mouse model was established and the hemoglobin contents of normal control, model control, and treated mice were measured. Additionally, the sedative and hy.. Read More»
