Summary: Mathematical models can be used to estimate the body composition of fish without sacrificing animals. In this study, Nile tilapia body composition data were collected from 138 scientific publications, and predictive models were developed using different combinations of models and calibration methods. The results showed that model predictions are influenced by the type of model, calibration method, and amount of calibration data available. The best predictive models for Nile tilapia body composition were the allometric model and a robust hybrid model, both calibrated assuming multiplicative error.

Summary: This study evaluated the anti-inflammatory effect of zafirlukast, an antagonist of cysteinyl leukotriene receptors, in Oreochromis niloticus during acute inflammatory reaction induced by Aeromonas hydrophila bacterins. The results showed that zafirlukast treatment dose-dependently reduced the accumulation of inflammatory cells, particularly granulocytes and macrophages. Zafirlukast-treated fish also exhibited decreased blood leukocyte counts and reactive oxygen species production.

Summary: Under suitable environmental conditions, fish with a functional immune system displayed high disease resistance, growth rate, and reproductive activity. This study investigated the effects of chronic alkalinity stress on the immune response in Nile tilapia and found that long-term feeding of tilapia in low concentration carbonate water promoted immune function and reduced mortality from bacterial infection.

Summary: This article discusses the complement system in teleost fish and its important role in the immune response. The complement system consists of circulating proteins that can be activated through multiple pathways, leading to enhanced, lytic, and modulatory functions in immune responses. The Nile tilapia, a economically valuable fish, is a good model for studying the complement system and its potential as a biomarker of water quality and fish health.

Summary: Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) affects about 24% of people worldwide and is characterized by increased liver fat, inflammation, and cell death in severe cases. This study aimed to investigate the effects of a high-cholesterol diet on lipolytic gene expression, liver function, lipid profile, and antioxidant enzymes in rabbits, and the potential modulatory effects of Lactobacillus acidophilus (L. acidophilus) probiotics. The findings showed that a high-cholesterol diet induced hepatic vacuolation and upregulated lipoprotein lipase (LPL), hepatic lipase (HL), and cholesteryl ester transfer protein (CETP) gene expression, while downregulating low-density lipoprotein receptor (LDLr) gene expression. Additionally, it resulted in increased liver enzymes, cholesterol, triglycerides, and decreased high-density lipoprotein, total protein, albumin, and liver antioxidants. Probiotic supplementation, particularly L. acidophilus, helped to restore all parameters to normal levels.
