Cardiometabolic response of juvenile rainbow trout exposed to dietary selenomethionine
Publication date: Available online 8 March 2018 Source:Aquatic Toxicology Author(s): Connor M. Pettem, Jennifer M. Briens, David M. Janz, Lynn P. Weber Selenium (Se) is considered as an essential trace element, involved in important physiological and metabolic functions for all vertebrate species. Fish require dietary concentrations of 0.1 to 0.5 μg Se/g dry mass (d.m.) to maintain normal physiological and selenoprotein function, however concentrations exceeding 3 μg/g d.m. have been shown to cause toxicity.

Cardiometabolic response of juvenile rainbow trout exposed to dietary selenomethionine.
Abstract Selenium (Se) is considered an essential trace element, involved in important physiological and metabolic functions for all vertebrate species. Fish require dietary concentrations of 0.1-0.5 μg Se/g dry mass (d.m.) to maintain normal physiological and selenoprotein function, however concentrations exceeding 3 μg/g d.m. have been shown to cause toxicity. As Se is reported to have a narrow margin between essentiality and toxicity, there is growing concern surrounding the adverse effects of elevated Se exposure caused by anthropogenic activities. Previous studies have reported that elevated dietary exp...

Taxon-selective venom variation in adult and neonate Daboia russelii (Russell's Viper), and antivenom efficacy
Toxicon. 2021 Nov 6:S0041-0101(21)00305-6. doi: 10.1016/j.toxicon.2021.11.004. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTMajor variations in venom composition can occur between juvenile and adult venomous snakes. However, due to logistical constraints, antivenoms are produced using adult venoms in immunising mixtures, possibly resulting in limited neutralisation of juvenile snake venoms. Daboia russelii is one of the leading causes of snakebite death across South Asia. Its venom is potently procoagulant, causing stroke in prey animals but causing in humans consumptive coagulopathy-a net anticoagulant state-and sometimes death resultin...
