Effect of low density lipoprotein on the quality of cryopreserved dog semen
(2008)Egg yolk is included in extenders for semen cryopreservation due to its protective effect against cold shock,which is attributed to the presence of low density lipoprotein (LDL). This study evaluates how semen quality ... -
Effect of low salinity on the yellow clam Mesodesma mactroides
(2015)The aim of this study was to determine the lethal salinity (LC50) for the yellow clam Mesodesma mactroides (Bivalvia: Mesodesmatidae) and identify histopathological alterations that could be used to diagnose structural ... -
Effect of melatonin in the antioxidant defense system in the locomotor muscles of the estuarine crab Neohelice granulata (Decapoda, Brachyura)
(2010)In vertebrates, many studies verified different effects of melatonin in the antioxidant defense system (ADS). In crustaceans, few studies have been conducted to verify this possibility. We verified the melatonin effects ... -
Effect of Microalga Spirulina platensis (Arthrospira platensis) on Hippocampus Lipoperoxidation and Lipid Profile in Rats with Induced Hypercholesterolemia
(2009)Studies have been conducted on microalga Spirulina platensis (Arthrospira platensis) due to its therapeutic potential in several areas, including the capacity for preventing and decreasing the damages caused by hyperlipidemia ... -
Effect of microcystin on ion regulation and antioxidant system in gills of the estuarine crab Chasmagnathus granulatus (Decapoda, Grapsidae)
(2003)The objective of this work was to evaluate mechanisms of microcystin toxicity on crustacean species. Adult male crabs of Chasmagnathus granulatus (13.97"0.35 g) acclimated to low salinity (2‰) were injected with saline ... -
Effect of natural production in a zero exchange suspended microbial floc based super-intensive culture system for white shrimp Litopenaeus vannamei
(2006)Zero water exchange, super-intensive culture of shrimp in enclosed raceway type systems can be considered environmentally friendly in that containment of water within the system prevents potential spread of disease between ... -
Effect of particle size and ammonium sulfate concentration on rice bran fermentation with the fungus Rhizopus oryzae
(Elsevier, 2012)The effects of rice bran particle size (0.18–0.39 mm) and ammonium sulfate concentration in the nutrient solution (2–8 g/L) on biomass production, protein and phenolic content generated by solid state fermentation with the ... -
Effect of practical diets with different protein levels on the performance of juveniles nursed in a zero exchange suspended microbial flocs intensive system
(2010)Farfantepenaeus paulensis juveniles (72 ± 24 mg), were reared in a suspended microbial flocs system and fed practical diets containing increasing amounts of crude protein (250, 300, 350, 400 and 450 g kg)1 CP). Development ... -
Effect of replacing dietary fish oil with soybean oil on production performance and fillet lipid and fatty acid composition of juvenile cobia rachycentron canadum
(2011)As a marine carnivore exhibiting exceptionally high growth rates, cobia are considered a species for which fish oil (FO) replacement may be difficult. However, partial, if not complete, FO replacement is necessary to ... -
Effect of salinity on survival, growth and biochemical parameters in juvenile Lebranch mullet Mugil liza (Perciformes: Mugilidae)
