| growth hormone and insulin-like growth factor of naked carp (gymnocypris przewalskii) in lake qinghai: expression in different water environments. | here, we report the cloning and characterization of growth hormone (gh), insulin-like growth factor-i (igf-i) and igf-ii from naked carp (gymnocypris przewalskii), a native teleost fish of lake qinghai in the qinghai-tibet plateau of china. the gh of naked carp encodes for a predicted amino acid sequence showing identities of 63%, 63%, 91% and 94% with cherry salmon, rainbow trout, zebrafish and grass carp, respectively. compared to common carp and goldfish, evolutionary analysis showed that gen ... | 2009 | 19233187 |
| heavy metals levels in fish from aquaculture farms and risk assessment in lhasa, tibetan autonomous region of china. | fish is consumed as a common food by humans due to its nutritional and therapeutic benefits. however, they can accumulate toxic chemicals (such as heavy metals, persistent organic pollutants) from water and food chain. very few studies have been investigated on heavy metal contents in fish from tibetan autonomous region of china. in order to study heavy metals levels in fish from aquaculture farms and evaluate the risk that human consume fish in this area, we collected four types of aquaculture ... | 2014 | 24671559 |
