Journal ArticleDOI
The gut microbiome and degradation enzyme activity of wild freshwater fishes influenced by their trophic levels.
TL;DR: PICRUSt predictions of metagenome function revealed that fishes in different trophic levels affected the metabolic capacity of their gut microbiota, metabolic capacity and gut content enzyme activity.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: It is shown that intermuscular bone is formed in the more basal teleosts by intramembranous ossification and may be involved in muscle contractibility and coordinating cellular events in M. amblycephala.
Journal ArticleDOI
A rapid in vivo zebrafish model to elucidate oxidative stress-mediated PCB126-induced apoptosis and developmental toxicity
TL;DR: Data suggest that PCB126-induced developmental toxicity and apoptosis in the nrf2a-eGFP-injected zebrafish model are due to oxidative stress mediated by disruption to glutathione metabolism and changes in Nrf2-regulated gene expression.
Journal ArticleDOI
Molecular cloning and expression of toll-like receptor 4 (tlr4) in the blunt snout bream (Megalobrama amblycephala).
TL;DR: Results indicate that matlr4 is involved in the immune response in M. amblycephala, and that it is indeed a functional homologue of tlr4s described in other animal species.
Journal ArticleDOI
Expression and functional characterization of interferon regulatory factors (irf2, irf7 and irf9) in the blunt snout bream (Megalobrama amblycephala).
TL;DR: The results show that these three irf family members are likely to be important factors in the blunt snout bream immune system and provide a foundation for studying the origin and evolution of the innate immune system inthe blunt snouts of M. amblycephala.
