| the cardiovascular and neurotoxic effects of the venoms of six bony and cartilaginous fish species. | fish venoms are often poorly studied, in part due to the difficulty in obtaining, extracting, and storing them. in this study, we characterize the cardiovascular and neurotoxic effects of the venoms from the following six species of fish: the cartilaginous stingrays neotrygon kuhlii and himantura toshi, and the bony fish platycephalus fucus, girella tricuspidata, mugil cephalus, and dentex tumifrons. all venoms (10-100 μg/kg, i.v.), except g. tricuspidata and p. fuscus, induced a biphasic respon ... | 2017 | 28212333 |
| isolation and characterization of acid-soluble collagen from the scales of marine fishes from japan and vietnam. | acid-soluble collagen (asc) was successfully extracted from the scales of lizard fish (saurida spp.) and horse mackerel (trachurus japonicus) from japan and vietnam and grey mullet (mugil cephalis), flying fish (cypselurus melanurus) and yellowback seabream (dentex tumifrons) from japan. asc yields were about 0.43-1.5% (on a dry weight basis), depending on the species. the sds-page profile showed that the ascs were type i collagens, and consisted of two different α chains, α1 and α2, as well as ... | 2014 | 24295705 |
