The ribosomal protein S27a (RPS27a) is cleaved from the fusion protein ubiquitin–RPS27a
(Ub–RPS27a). Generally, Ub and RPS27a are coexpressed as a fusion protein but function …

Mining activities have significantly affected the Neotropical freshwater ichthyofauna, the
most diverse in the world. However, no study has systematized knowledge on the subject. In …

The present paper reports the advantages, drawbacks and applications of the main
techniques of sample preparation employed during the determinations of total mercury and …

Fish consumption is one of the major ways through which humans receive exposure to

Graphite furnace atomic absorption spectrometry (GFAAS) is an elemental analysis
technique that has been employed for virtually all types of samples. Traditionally, hollow …

This study describes the association between meat tenderness and abundance of soluble
muscle proteins in Nellore bulls (Bos indicus) using a proteomic approach. We evaluated …

Diets for feedlot cattle must be a higher energy density, entailing high fermentable
carbohydrate content. Feed additives are needed to reduce possible metabolic disorders …

Exposure to mercury can interfere with the expression of proteins and enzymes, compromise
important pathways, such as apoptosis and glucose metabolism, and even induce the …

Snakebite envenoming is one of the most significantly neglected tropical diseases in the
world. The lack of diagnosis/prognosis methods for snakebite is one of our motivations to …

Fish is an important source of protein, vitamins, and minerals. However, this food is also a
major source of human exposure to toxic contaminants such as mercury. Thus, this paper …
