Summary: This study examines whether mature Atlantic cod caught at spawning grounds in Smola, Norway, have eaten salmon waste feed. The results show that 13% and 20% of sampled cod in 2018 and 2019 respectively had high concentrations of terrestrial fatty acids, indicating waste feed feeding. Cod feeding on waste feed had large, fatty livers and the terrestrial fatty acids were also transferred to the muscle and gonad lipids.

Summary: The study investigates the role of voltage-sensing domains (VSDs) in excitation-contraction coupling (ECC) by encoding cysteine substitutions on each S4 voltage-sensing segment of Ca(V)1.1 and using in cellulo AP fluorometry to track the movement of each VSD in skeletal muscle fibers. The results suggest that VSDs play a crucial role in charge movement and Ca2+ release during skeletal muscle fiber activation.

Summary: Omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (n-3 PUFA) are important in preventing and managing cardiometabolic diseases associated with chronic inflammation. The effects of n-3 PUFA supplements in reducing cardiovascular risks are uncertain, and their use can result in polypharmacy. Sardines are a cost-effective source of n-3 PUFA and other cardioprotective nutrients, but more research is needed to translate this recommendation into clinical practice. Sardines contain minerals and nutrients that modulate inflammation and oxidative stress observed in cardiovascular disease, with calcium, potassium, and magnesium being the most clinically beneficial. Randomized clinical trials are needed to further investigate the benefits of sardine consumption.

Summary: This study demonstrates the nearly complete escape of XBB.1.5, CH.1.1, and CA.3.1 variants from neutralizing antibodies stimulated by mRNA vaccine or BA.4/5 wave infection, but neutralization can be rescued by a bivalent booster containing BA.5. CH.1.1 and CA.3.1 also show strong immune escape from monoclonal antibody S309. Furthermore, the spike proteins of XBB.1.5, CH.1.1, and CA.3.1 exhibit enhanced fusogenicity and processing compared to BA.2.

Summary: Different vegetable oils can be used as substitutes of fish oil in aquaculture feed, but they may cause deficiency in long chain polyunsaturated fatty acids in fish products. The welfare and health consequences of these alterations on fish are not well known.

Summary: This study compared the characteristics of soybean oil bodies (SOBs) extracted from high-protein and high-oil genotypes of soybeans. The results showed that SOBs from high-protein soybeans were more easily oxidized and prone to coalescence during storage, while SOBs from high-oil soybeans exhibited superior physicochemical stability, making them more suitable for OB-based product manufacturing.

Summary: Nanoemulsion-based technology is rapidly developing in the food industry, particularly in the design of bioactive compound delivery systems. This review provides a comprehensive understanding of the composition, function, antibacterial mechanism, and successful application of nanoemulsions as preservative agents against fish spoilage. The inclusion of bioactive substances in food-grade nanoemulsion encapsulation systems improves stability, controls release, and inhibits microbial growth via multiple targets. These nanoemulsions inhibit fish spoilage by reducing microbial load and retarding protein and lipid oxidation, thereby preserving fish quality. Additionally, nanoemulsions can be combined with vacuum packaging for enhanced microbial control, nutritional retention, and extended shelf-life of fish. Therefore, nanoemulsions are a promising strategy for inhibiting fish spoilage.

Summary: Intake of saturated lipids alters the levels of specific fatty acids in the liver and visceral fats, impacting the expression of lipid metabolism-related genes and leading to changes in lipid metabolism.

Summary: This study investigated the lipid composition of cell membranes in two species of the Amphiprion genus and one species of damselfish to test the Longevity-Homeoviscous Adaptation (LHA) theory of ageing, revealing a negative correlation between membrane peroxidation index and maximum lifespan in the Amphiprion species. However, when compared to the shorter-lived damselfish, contradictory data were obtained, indicating that the differences in membrane lipid composition alone cannot explain the diversity in longevity found among fishes.

Summary: K+ channels play crucial roles in lung physiology. The Ca2+-activated K+ channels (K-Ca) have recently gained more attention and efforts are being made to develop selective medications targeting these channels. Among the K-Ca channel family, the K(Ca)2 channel subtypes and the K(Ca)3.1 channel are voltage-independent K+ channels that mediate membrane hyperpolarization induced by Ca2+. This article discusses the different subtypes of K(Ca)2 and K(Ca)3.1 channels and their functions in respiratory diseases, as well as the pharmacology of these channels and their link to respiratory ciliary regulations.

Summary: Fibrates and statins are widely prescribed lipid-lowering drugs, and their effects on fish, liver metabolism, and blood parameters are similar to those observed in humans. Establishing standardized fish models for studying hypolipidemic drugs has important current and future benefits.

Summary: This study investigated the effects of a novel structured lipid prepared from soybean oil and coconut oil on fatty acid metabolism in mice. The results showed that structured lipids can help increase the conversion of essential fatty acids and fatty acid oxidation, while reducing the expression of lipogenesis genes. Prepared structured lipids may serve as a functional oil to resist obesity.

Summary: The reduced cost of pesticide use in agricultural production leads to increased usage, resulting in serious threats to the aquatic environment. Fishes, as bioindicators of toxicants in the water, provide valuable information about the aquatic biota. The study of pesticide toxicity in fish is important for understanding and assessing the impact of pollution in the ecosystem.

Summary: This study aimed to explore the relationship between habitual fish oil use and the risk of chronic kidney diseases (CKD). A total of 408,023 participants without prior CKD were enrolled from the UK Biobank. Fish oil use and dietary intakes were assessed through questionnaires. The study found that habitual fish oil use was associated with a lower hazard of CKD, and there were consistent inverse relationships between fish consumption and circulating omega-3 PUFA concentration with incident CKD.
