Open AccessStarvation alters the liver transcriptome of the innate immune response in Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar)
The immune response is an energy demanding process, which has effects in many physiological pathways in the body including protein and lipid metabolism. During an inflammatory response the liver is required to...

Open AccessDirectional responses following recombinant cytokine stimulation of rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) RTS-11 macrophage cells as revealed by transcriptome profiling
The early stages of the immune response are regulated by key cytokines including both interleukin 1β (IL-1β) and interferon-γ (IFN-γ) which stimulate panels of responsive genes via conserved signal transductio...

Minimising aerobic respiratory demands could form the basis to sub-lethal copper tolerance by rainbow trout gill epithelial cells in vitro
Mechanisms of Cu tolerance were investigated in respiratory epithelial cell cultures, from rainbow trout gills, by studying O2 consumption and protein synthesis rates, intracellular Na concentration and TER. The ...

Protein synthesis in trout liver is stimulated by both feeding and fasting
The response of protein synthesis in the liver of the rainbow trout to feeding and fasting was investigated in 3 experiments. In the first experiment, the fractional rate of protein synthesis (k ...
