EFFECT OF 17α- METHYLTESTOSTERONE HORMONE ON CERTAIN GROWTH PARAMETERS OF FISH, Tilapia mossambica
Full text linkTestosterone is perhaps the foremost wide studied natural androgenic-hormone for growth improvement in fish. The present investigation aims to determine the impact of 17α-Methyltestosterone(17α-MT) on Weight gain (WG), Specific growth rate (SGR), Hepatosomatic index (HSI), Gonadosomatic Index (GSI), and Food conversion efficiency (FCE) levels in fish, Tilapia mossambica. Three different dosages of 17α-MT hormone such as 2 μg, 5 μg, and 10 μg/10 g body weight (b.w) of fish, were dissolved in 0.1 ml alcohol and administrated via, injection mode for 24 hours, 48 hours, 7 and 14 days. The one more group of fish have received the hormone-free injection and served as an impact group. From the results obtained it was clear that the hormone 17α-MT has promoted the growth of fish over the control. Growth performance was monitored by recording the body Weight gain (g), Hepatosomatic Index (HSI), Gonadosomatic Index (GSI), Specific growth rate (SGR), and Food conversion efficiency (FCE). The present investigation, revealed that the 17α-Methyltestosterone (17α-MT) induced growth enhancement of Tilapia mossambica
INFLUENCE OF COPPER SULPHATE ON GLYCOGEN AND TOTAL LIPID LEVELS IN GILL AND KIDNEYS OF FISH, Oreochromis mossambicus (PETERS)
Full text linkFreshwater organisms face the challenge of being exposed to an assemblage of chemicals emitted by human activates. Thus, several biochemical parameters in fish organs could be used as indicators of heavy metal toxicity. In this study, Oreochromis mossambicus fish were exposed to sublethal concentrations (1/16, 1/12, 1/8 and 1/4th of 96 hours LC50 value), i.e. 3 mg/L, 4 mg/L, 6 mg/L and 12 mg/L of Copper Sulphate for different exposure periods of 10, 20, 30 and 40 days. The Glycogen level and Lipid level in the gills and kidneys were determined. The decreased Glycogen level and Lipid level in the two different organs of fish exposed to Copper Sulphate were observed when compared to control. Glycogen level and Lipid levels gradually decreased with increased exposure period, and the decrease was found to be directly proportional to increased sublethal concentrations. Thus it is concluded that the usage of Copper Sulphate must be reduced and to create an awareness among the people about the toxicity of CuSO4 on animals & humans
IMPACT OF 17α- METHYLTESTOSTERONE HORMONE ON CERTAIN BIOCHEMICAL PARAMETERS OF FISH, Tilapia mossambica
Full text linkOne of the major sources of animal protein for human consumption is a fisheries resource. The demand for fish has increased in recent years due to population growth and the constant search for a healthy diet. Therefore, considerable attention has been given to the production and growth of freshwater fish in aquaculture. The present investigation aims to determine the impact of 17α-Methyltestosterone(17α-MT) on protein content, Aspartate aminotransferase(AST) and Alanine aminotransferase(ALT) level in certain tissues i.e. skeletal muscle, liver and gonad(ovary) of fish, Tilapia mossambica. Three different dosages of 17α-MT hormone such as 2 μg, 5 μg and 10 μg/10 gr body weight (b.w) of fish, were dissolved in 0.1 ml alcohol and administrated via, injection mode for 24 hours, 48 hours, 7 and 14 days. The fourth group of fish have received the hormone-free injection and served as a control group. The highest increment in tissue Protein content was observed under 10 μg MT/10 gr b.w. followed by 5 μg/10 gr b.w. and 2 μg/10 gr b.w. in skeletal muscle, liver and gonad (ovary) of fish. The more increase in Protein was observed after 14 days of the 17α-MT injection route of administration. Hence, it is clear that the anabolic hormones such as 17α-MT hormone play an important role in enhancing the tissue protein content for nutritional purposes. There was not much change in aspartate aminotransferase (AST) and alanine aminotransferase (ALT) levels
SNEDDS AS LIPID-BASED NANOCARRIER SYSTEMS: CONCEPTS AND FORMULATION INSIGHTS
Full text linkApproximately 40 % of newly discovered chemical entities have low solubility and possess low bioavailability after oral administration. Lipid-based drug delivery systems (LBDDS) have recently become very popular because of their remarkable ability to deliver drugs with poor absorption using lipids as carriers. Self-emulsifying drug delivery (SEDDS) systems are one type of LBDDS employed for the incorporation of hydrophobic drugs. SEDDS are classified into self-micro emulsifying drug delivery systems (SMEDDS) and self-nano emulsifying drug delivery systems (SNEDDS) based on the droplet size of the dispersed phase. The present review focus on the mechanism of drug absorption from lipid-based nanocarriers systems, in vitro assessment of self-emulsification, insights of SNEDDS, factors affecting the formulation of SNEDDS, and its applications
Text Normalization for Telugu Text-to-Speech Synthesis
No full textMost areas related to language and speech technology, directly or indirectly, require handling of unrestricted text, and Text-to-speech systems directly need to work on real text. To build a natural sounding speech synthesis system, it is essential that the text processing component produce an appropriate sequence of phonemic units corresponding to an arbitrary input text. A novel approach is used, where the input text is tokenized, and classification is done based on token type. The token sense disambiguation is achieved by the semantic nature of the language and then the expansion rules are applied to get the normalized text. However, for Telugu language not much work is done on text normalization. In this paper we discuss our efforts for designing a rule based system to achieve text normalization in the context of building Telugu text-to-speech system.</jats:p
IMPACT OF SUBLETHAL CONCENTRATIONS OF COPPER (Cu) ON PROTEIN METABOLISM OF MOZAMBIQUE TILAPIA (Oreochromis mossambicus, PETERS, 1852)
Full text linkBackground: Industries are the major sources of heavy metal pollution and it is released into water and soil. Heavy metals cause several negative effects to aquatic organisms and environment.
Aims: The present investigation aims to determine the effect of copper sulphate on protein content, free amino acids, AST and ALT levels in certain tissues, i.e. muscle and zliver of Mozambique tilapia, Oreochromis mossambicus.
Study Design: Oreochromis mossambicus weighing about 12- 14g used in the present study were procured from State fisheries culture tanks. They were transported to the laboratory in oxygenated containers and treated with KMnO4 to avoid dermal infection and acclimatized to laboratory conditions for 10 days.
Results and Discussion: In the present study, Oreochromis mossambicus was exposed to sublethal concentrations (1/16, 1/12, 1/8 and 1/4th of 96 h LC50 value) i.e. 3 mg/L, 4 mg/L, 6 mg/L and 12 mg/L of copper sulphate for four different exposure periods of 10, 20, 30 and 40 days. The proteins, free amino acids, Aspartate amino transferase (ASAT) and Alanine amine transferase (ALAT) levels in muscle and liver were studied. Decreased tendency was observed in protein levels and an increased tendency was observed in free amino acids, AST and ALT levels in all the vital tissues of fish exposed to copper sulphate over control.
Conclusion: Proteins gradually decreased with increased exposure period of sublethal concentrations. Amino acids, AST and ALT levels gradually increased with increased exposure period and the increase was observed to be directly proportional to the increased toxicant concentrations
