| comparison of methods to improve induction of spermiation in wild-caught carp (cyprinus carpio carpio), a threatened species from the caspian sea basin. | wild carp (cyprinus carpio carpio) forms the basis of an important fishery in the southern caspian sea basin which is increasingly underpinned by the release of cultured juveniles. a significant bottleneck to hatchery-rearing of juveniles is the spermiation of male broodstock. therefore, four approaches to improving spermiation were investigated. the effectiveness of two delivery methods for the sustained release of salmon gonadotropin releasing hormone analogue (sgnrha; i.e., via intramuscular ... | 2016 | 27133180 |
| multifunctional protein: cardiac ankyrin repeat protein. | cardiac ankyrin repeat protein (carp) not only serves as an important component of muscle sarcomere in the cytoplasm, but also acts as a transcription co-factor in the nucleus. previous studies have demonstrated that carp is up-regulated in some cardiovascular disorders and muscle diseases; however, its role in these diseases remains controversial now. in this review, we will discuss the continued progress in the research related to carp, including its discovery, structure, and the role it plays ... | 2016 | 27143260 |
| antibodies to carbamylated α-enolase epitopes in rheumatoid arthritis also bind citrullinated epitopes and are largely indistinct from anti-citrullinated protein antibodies. | in addition to anti-citrullinated protein antibodies (acpas), antibodies targeting carbamylated (i.e., homocitrullinated) proteins (anti-carp antibodies) have been described in rheumatoid arthritis (ra). however, the extent to which anti-carp antibodies are truly distinct from acpa remains unclear, and few studies have focused on specific autoantigens. here, we examine cross-reactivity between acpa and anti-carp antibodies, in the context of the candidate autoantigen α-enolase. | 2016 | 27145822 |
