Coronavirus Crisis and Its Effects on the Fishery Value Chain
No full textthe fishery and aquaculture sector has been particularly hard hit by the market disruption generated by a significant drop in demand, ensuing from the COVID-19 outbreak. The closure of sales venues, markets, outlets, and distribution channels has seen prices and volumes drop substantially. The drop in demand and prices, combined with the supply chain’s vulnerability and complexity, has made fishing fleets and seafood production loss-making operations

Sub-lethal Doses of Polybrominated Diphenyl Ethers, in Vitro, Promote Oxidative Stress and Modulate Molecular Markers Related to Cell Cycle, Antioxidant Balance and Cellular Energy Management
Get PDFIn the present study, we evaluated the effects of different concentrations of the polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs) BDE-209, BDE-47 and BDE-99, on the vitality and oxidative stress of a HS-68 human cell culture exposed to the compounds for three days. The results showed that for this exposure time, only the highest concentrations produced a significant vitality reduction and oxidative stress induction (p < 0.05), measured as reactive oxygen species (ROS). Subsequently, in order to verify the effects of sub-lethal doses, cells were exposed for a longer time and data collected, after 12 and 20 days, to study ROS production and some molecular markers related to cell cycle and stress (p53, pRB, PARP, c-Jun and c-Fos), antioxidant status and proliferation (ERK, c-Jun and c-Fos), energy balance (NRF2, AMPK, HIF). Most of the biomarkers were influenced by the treatments, indicating that sub-lethal doses of PBDEs, for longer time, can enhance the production of ROS, altering the energetic metabolism, cell cycle and antioxidant balance, determining possible negative effects on the cell proliferation equilibrium
Lipid composition and metabolism of European sea bass (Dicentrarchus labrax L.) fed diets containing wheat gluten and legumes meals as substitutes for fish meal
No full textThe role of dietary protein source on growth performance and lipid metabolism in European sea bass (Dicentrarchus labrax) was investigated, by the evaluation of fat content in different tissues, plasma metabolites, liver lipogenic activity and fatty acid composition of dorsal muscle tissue.Five isonitrogenous (490gkg-1crude protein dry-matter basis) and isolipidic (170gkg-1lipid dry-matter basis) diets with graded levels of wheat gluten, soybean and pea meal in substitution of fish meal were evaluated in European sea bass (initial body weight 23.9±0.1) for 96days. There was a significant difference (p<0.05) in dorsal muscle and liver lipid contents. Plasma glucose and cholesterol levels decreased significantly (p<0.05) as diet included soybean and wheat gluten meal (p<0.05). The composition of fatty acids in muscle triacylglycerols and phospholipids was affected by vegetable sources as n-6 PUFA percentage was significantly increased and n-3 PUFA percentage was significantly decreased (p<0.05), without modifying EPA/DHA ratio, when wheat gluten and pea meal were included in the diet. The results confirm that the quality and quantity of vegetable protein source could affect lipid metabolism and lipid content in the dorsal muscle of the European sea bass and suggest the possibility of manipulation of the diet for commercial purpose
Biotechnological Applications for the Sustainable Use of Marine By-products: In Vitro Antioxidant and Pro-apoptotic Effects of Astaxanthin Extracted with Supercritical CO2 from Parapeneus longirostris
No full textIn this study, the carotenoid astaxanthin was obtained by supercritical fluid extraction (SFE) from shrimp by-products (SBP). Its bioactive properties were evaluated in vitro in human normal and cancerous cells lines. The antioxidant activity of the extracted astaxanthin of the SFE fraction (ASTA) was tested in fibroblast cells (HS-68), by inducing oxidative stress and by evaluating the protective effect of the pre-treatment with different levels of ASTA against toxicity. The anti-proliferative activity was evaluated in hepatoma cells (HEP-G2), treated with increased concentrations of ASTA and measuring the effects on vitality and on some biomolecular markers related to oxidative stress, cell cycle, and apoptosis. It was found that pre-treating normal fibroblast cells with ASTA resulted in a marked increase in cell viability in a dose-dependent manner (P < 0.05) attesting its antioxidant power; in cancer cell line, increased concentrations of ASTA caused a time-dose-dependent decrease in the vitality, attesting its anti-proliferative activity (P < 0.05). The increased levels of the protein p-53 and the reduced levels of the proteins c-Jun and c-Fos at higher concentrations of ASTA, as well as, suggest the pro-apoptotic and anti-cancerous effects that this extract has on hepatocellular carcinomas, confirmed also by caspase-3 activation. These findings suggest biotechnological utilisation of marine by-products for nutraceutical and pharmaceutical applications avoiding the employment of organic solvents for extraction
Sculture senesi del XIV e degli inizi del XV secolo in Sicilia: Goro di Gregorio e il monumento funebre del vescovo Guidotto d’Abbiate della Cattedrale di Messina
No full textIl saggio esamina il monumento funebre del prelato milanese Guidotto d’Abbiate che guidò l’arcidiocesi di Messina dal 1304 sino al 1333. L’Arcivescovo, che commissionò l’opera nel 1326 allo scultore senese Goro di Gregorio, si dedicò al progetto “di abbellimento” della Cattedrale della Città dello Stretto dove è custodito il monumento. A quest’ultimo manufatto potrebbe appartenere la Madonna con il Bambino, detta degli Storpi, ora custodita nel Museo Regionale Interdisciplinare di Messina. Il saggio, infine, contestualizza la committenza indagando anche le sculture del XIV e degli inizi del XV custodite in Sicilia e realizzate da artisti isolani e in modo particolare toscani.The essay examines the funerary monument of the Milanese prelate Guidotto d'Abbiate who led the archdiocese of Messina from 1304 until 1333. The Archbishop, who commissioned the work in 1326 from the Sienese sculptor Goro di Gregorio, dedicated himself to the project "of embellishment” of the Cathedral of the City of the Strait where the monument is kept. The Madonna and Child, called degli Storpi, now housed in the Regional Interdisciplinary Museum of Messina, could belong to the latter artifact. Finally, the essay contextualizes the client by also investigating the sculptures of the 14th and early 15th centuries kept in Sicily and made by island artists and especially Tuscan one
