Abstract
The activity of oxidoreductases, malate dehydrogenase and lactate dehydrogenase (MDH, 1.1.1.37; LDH, 1.1.1.27), as well as parameters of adenylate system-[ATP], [ADP], [AMP], total adenylate pool (AP), and adenylate energy charge (AEC) in medulla oblongata (MB) and forebrain, midbrain, and diencephalon (FDMB)-were studied in the scorpionfish under acute hypoxia (0.9-1.2 mg O2·L-1, 90 min). A higher MDH activity level was observed in MB and FDMB, as compared to LDH (p < 0.05). At the same time, MB showed a higher adenylate content and increased AP (p < 0.05). AEC did not exceed ~ 0.7 (vs. the maximum of this index ~ 0.9-1.0) in the brain of the scorpionfish indicating adaptation of the tissue energy status to hypoxia. A rapid decrease in MDH activity (p < 0.05) was observed in MB under acute hypoxia. These changes were accompanied by insignificant LDH activation. A pronounced LDH activation (p < 0.05), a decrease in MDH activity, and the highest AP raise (p < 0.05) were observed in FDMB, suggesting activation of glycolysis and simultaneous decrease in the rate of ATP consumption. MB and FDMB demonstrated the ability to a relative retention of AEC during hypoxia. The unidirectional metabolic adaptation was based on the intensification of glycolysis, a decrease of ATP consumption, and a subsequent increase in adenylate concentration that allowed the scorpionfish brain structures to maintain the energy status under acute hypoxia.

Abstract
Understanding the correlation between shrimp growth and their intestinal bacteria would be necessary to optimize animal's growth performance. Here, we compared the bacterial profiles along with the shrimp's gene expression responses and metabolites in the intestines between the Top and the Bottom weight groups. Black tiger shrimp (Penaeus monodon) were collected from the same population and rearing environments. The two weight groups, the Top-weight group with an average weight of 36.82 ± 0.41 g and the Bottom-weight group with an average weight of 17.80 ± 11.81 g, were selected. Intestines were aseptically collected and subjected to microbiota, transcriptomic and metabolomic profile analyses. The weighted-principal coordinates analysis (PCoA) based on UniFrac distances showed similar bacterial profiles between the two groups, suggesting similar relative composition of the overall bacterial community structures. This observed similarity was likely due to the fact that shrimp were from the same genetic background and reared under the same habitat and diets. On the other hand, the unweighted-distance matrix revealed that the bacterial profiles associated in intestines of the Top-weight group were clustered distinctly from those of the Bottom-weight shrimp, suggesting that some unique non-dominant bacterial genera were found associated with either group. The key bacterial members associated to the Top-weight shrimp were mostly from Firmicutes (Brevibacillus and Fusibacter) and Bacteroidetes (Spongiimonas), both of which were found in significantly higher abundance than those of the Bottom-weight shrimp. Transcriptomic profile of shrimp intestines found significant upregulation of genes mostly involved in nutrient metabolisms and energy storage in the Top-weight shrimp. In addition to significantly expressed metabolic-related genes, the Bottom-weight shrimp also showed significant upregulation of stress and immune-related genes, suggesting that these pathways might contribute to different degrees of shrimp growth performance. A non-targeted metabolome analysis from shrimp intestines revealed different metabolic responsive patterns, in which the Top-weight shrimp contained significantly higher levels of short chain fatty acids, lipids and organic compounds than the Bottom-weight shrimp. The identified metabolites included those that were known to be produced by intestinal bacteria such as butyric acid, 4-indolecarbaldehyde and L-3-phenyllactic acid as well as those produced by shrimp such as acyl-carnitines and lysophosphatidylcholine. The functions of these metabolites were related to nutrient absorption and metabolisms. Our findings provide the first report utilizing multi-omics integration approach to investigate microbiota, metabolic and transcriptomics profiles of the host shrimp and their potential roles and relationship to shrimp growth performance.

Abstract
Herring (Clupea harengus) shows the unique behavior of reproductive biology in which spermatozoa remains in the surrounding media for extended periods. It is an excellent model for studying the malic enzyme (ME) and creatine kinase (CK) biochemical properties because of their high activity and variability of molecular isoforms. The specific activity of NAD-preferring ME in herring spermatozoa is the highest among other fish spermatozoa and is localized in its large mitochondrion. Two different CK isoforms, dimer and octamer, were detected in herring spermatozoa. It has already been shown that CK isoforms play an important role in energy homeostasis by catalyzing a reversible transfer of the phosphate of ATP to creatine to yield ADP and creatine phosphate (CP) (creatine/CP circuit). Two lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) isoenzymes were also shown in herring spermatozoa, LDH-B4 and LDH-A2B2. In this mini-review, the role of ME and energy transport system with easily diffusible creatine and CP in herring spermatozoa is discussed.

Abstract
NADPH plays a central role in reductive biosynthesis of membrane lipids, maintenance of cell integrity, protein synthesis and redox balance maintenance. Hence, NADPH is involved in the growth and proliferation processes. In addition, it has been shown that changes in nutritional conditions produced changes in NADPH levels and growth rate. Maslinic acid (MA), a pentacyclic triterpene of natural origin, is able to stimulate NADPH production, through regulation of the two oxidative phase dehydrogenases of the pentose phosphate pathway. Our main objective was to study the effects of MA on the kinetic behaviour and on the molecular expression of two NADPH-generating systems, NADP-dependent isocitrate dehydrogenase (NADP-IDH) and malic enzyme (ME), in the liver and white muscle of gilthead sea bream (Sparus aurata). Four groups of 12g of a mean body mass were fed for 210days in a fish farm, with diets containing 0 (control), and 0.1g of MA per kg of diet. Two groups were fed ad libitum (C-AL and MA-AL) and another's two, with restricted diet of 1% of fish weight (C-R and MA-R). Results showed that MA significantly increased the main kinetic parameter of the NADPH-forming enzymes (NADP-IDH and ME). In this sense, specific activity, maximum velocity, catalytic efficiency and activity ratio values were higher in MA conditions than control groups. Moreover, these changes were observed in both feeding regimen, AL and R. Meanwhile, the Michaelis constant changed mainly in groups fed with the MA and restricted diet, these changes are related to the best substrate affinity by enzyme. Moreover, in the Western-blot result, we found that MA increased both protein levels studied, this behaviour being consistent with the regulation of the number of enzyme molecules. All results, indicate that MA, independently of the fed regimen, could potentially be a nutritional additive for fish as it improved the metabolic state of fish, as consequence of increased activity and expression of NADP-IDH and ME enzymes.

Abstract
Crucian carp are unusual among vertebrates in surviving extended periods in the complete absence of molecular oxygen. During this time cardiac output is maintained though these mechanisms are not well understood. Using a high-density cDNA microarray, we have defined the genome-wide gene expression responses of cardiac tissue after exposing the fish at two temperatures (8 and 13°C) to one and seven days of anoxia, followed by seven days after restoration to normoxia. At 8°C, using a false discovery rate of 5%, neither anoxia nor re-oxygenation elicited appreciable changes in gene expression. By contrast, at 13°C, 777 unique genes responded strongly. Up-regulated genes included those involved in protein turnover, the pentose phosphate pathway and cell morphogenesis while down-regulated gene categories included RNA splicing and transcription. Most genes were affected between one and seven days of anoxia, indicating gene regulation over the medium term but with few early response genes. Re-oxygenation for 7 days was sufficient to completely reverse these responses. Glycolysis displayed more complex responses with anoxia up-regulated transcripts for the key regulatory enzymes, hexokinase and phosphofructokinase, but with down-regulation of most of the non-regulatory genes. This complex pattern of responses in genomic transcription patterns indicates divergent cardiac responses to anoxia, with the transcriptionally driven reprogramming of cardiac function seen at 13°C being largely completed at 8°C.

Abstract
Herring spermatozoa exhibit higher activity of malic enzyme (ME) than Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar), brown trout (Salmo trutta), carp (Cyprinus carpio) and African catfish (Clarias gariepinus) spermatozoa. Two molecular forms of ME are present in herring spermatozoa: an NAD-preferring malic enzyme with very high activity and an NADP-specific malic enzyme with much lower activity (ratio about 33:1). NAD-preferring ME was purified by chromatography on DEAE-Sepharose, Red Agarose and Sephadex G-200 to a specific activity of 36 μmol/min/mg protein and NADP-specific ME on DEAE-Sepharose and 2'5'-ADP Sepharose. The molecular mass for NAD-preferring and NADP-specific ME determined by SDS-PAGE was equal to 61 and 64 kDa, respectively. High activity of ME suggests adaptation of herring spermatozoa to metabolism at high oxygen tension for herring spawn.

Abstract
Background Anopheles stephensi mitochondrial malic enzyme (ME) emerged as having a relevant role in the provision of pyruvate for the Krebs' cycle because inhibition of this enzyme results in the complete abrogation of oxygen uptake by mitochondria. Therefore, the identification of ME in mitochondria from immortalized A. stephensi (ASE) cells and the investigation of the stereoselectivity of malate analogues are relevant in understanding the physiological role of ME in cells of this important malaria parasite vector and its potential as a possible novel target for insecticide development. Methods To characterize the mitochondrial ME from immortalized ASE cells (Mos. 43; ASE), mass spectrometry analyses of trypsin fragments of ME, genomic sequence analysis and biochemical assays were performed to identify the enzyme and evaluate its activity in terms of cofactor dependency and inhibitor preference. Results The encoding gene sequence and primary sequences of several peptides from mitochondrial ME were found to be highly homologous to the mitochondrial ME from Anopheles gambiae (98%) and 59% homologous to the mitochondrial NADP+-dependent ME isoform from Homo sapiens. Measurements of ME activity in mosquito mitochondria isolated from ASE cells showed that (i) Vmax with NAD+ was 3-fold higher than that with NADP+, (ii) addition of Mg2+ or Mn2+ increased the Vmax by 9- to 21-fold, with Mn2+ 2.3-fold more effective than Mg2+, (iii) succinate and fumarate increased the activity by 2- and 5-fold, respectively, at sub-saturating concentrations of malate, (iv) among the analogs of L-malate tested as inhibitors of the NAD+-dependent ME catalyzed reaction, small (2- to 3-carbons) organic diacids carrying a 2-hydroxyl/keto group behaved as the most potent inhibitors of ME activity (e.g., oxaloacetate, tartronic acid and oxalate). Conclusions The biochemical characterization of Anopheles stephensi ME is of critical relevance given its important role in bioenergetics, suggesting that it is a suitable target for insecticide development.

Abstract
The August Krogh principle, stating that for any particular question in biology, nature holds an ideal study system, was applied by choosing the anorexic, long-distance migration of salmon as a model to analyze protein degradation and amino acid metabolism. Reexamining an original study done over 20 years ago on migrating sockeye salmon (Oncorhynchus nerka), data on fish migration and starvation are reviewed and a general model is developed on how fish deal with muscle proteolysis. It is shown that lysosomal activation and degradation of muscle protein by lysosomal cathepsins, especially cathepsin D and sometimes cathepsin L, are responsible for the degradation of muscle protein during fish migration, maturation and starvation. This strategy is quite the opposite to mammalian muscle wasting, including starvation, uremia, cancer and others, where the ATP-ubiquitin proteasome in conjunction with ancillary systems, constitutes the overwhelming pathway for protein degradation in muscle. In mammals, the lysosome plays a bit part, if any. In contrast, the proteasome plays at best a subordinate role in muscle degradation in piscine systems. This diverging strategy is put into the context of fish metabolism in general, with its high amino acid turnover, reliance on amino acids as oxidative substrates and flux of amino acids from muscle via the liver into gonads during maturation. Brief focus is placed on structure, function and evolution of the key player in fishes: cathepsin D. The gene structure of piscine cathepsin D is outlined, focusing on the existence of duplicate, paralogous, cathepsin D genes in some species and analyzing the relationship between a female and liver-specific aspartyl protease and fish cathepsin Ds. Evolutionary relationships are developed between different groups of piscine cathepsins, aspartyl proteases and other cathepsins. Finally, based on specific changes in muscle enzymes in fish, including migrating salmon, common strategies of amino acid and carbon flux in fish muscle are pointed out, predicting some metabolic concepts that would make ideal application grounds for the August Krogh principle.
