Project description:Hepatic gene expression profiling in male Zebrafish in response to estradiol exposure and aquatic xenobiotics 17alpha-ethynylestradiol, Bis(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate and nonylphenol. Male zebrafish (Danio rerio) were purchased from commercial fish farm (Euroaquarium Spa Bologna, Italy). Approximately one hundred and twenty fish were received and divided evenly between three 80 l glass aquaria. Each aquarium was individually heated
Project description:The same sample of bovine liver extract analyzed using a mobile phase with solvents purchased from different vendors. LC-MS grade water was purchased from Sigma, methanol and isopropanol are purchased from Sigma, Honeywell and Fisher Scientific. Vendor names are randomized and only listed as vendors 1, 2 and 3 in the filenames for confidentiality. The raw data is used in the following preprint: "Vendor-dependent mobile phase contaminants affect neutral lipid analysis in lipidomics protocols" (DOI 10.26434/chemrxiv-2024-r67fv)
Project description:Earthworms show a wide spectrum of regenerative potential with certain species like Eisenia fetida, a terrestrial redworm, capable of regenerating more than two-thirds of their body while other closely related species, such as Paranais litoralis seem to have lost this ability. Earthworms belong to the phylum annelida, in which the genomes of the marine oligochaete Capitella telata, and the freshwater leech Helobdella robusta have been sequenced and studied. Herein, we report the de novo assembled transcriptome of Eisenia fetida (Indian isolate), along with an analysis of the transcriptomic changes during regeneration. We also used de novo assembled RNAseq data to identify genes that are differentially expressed during regeneration, both in the newly regenerating cells and in the adjacent tissue.
Project description:In the ex situ conservation of chondrycthyan species, successful reproduction in aquaria is essential. However, aquatic species often exhibit reduced reproductive success under human care. Different factors, including water temperature, nutrition, and intrinsic genetic and epigenetic elements, influence their fertility. Conventional sperm analyses do not provide insights into the functional competence of semen. Therefore, proteomics is gaining relevance, increasing a better understanding of male physiology. In this study, we investigated the proteomic profiles of seminal plasma and spermatozoa from small-spotted catsharks in two different environments: natural environment and aquarium environment.
