Kumar N, Thorat ST, Pradhan A, Rane J, Reddy KS. Significance of dietary quinoa husk (Chenopodium quinoa) in gene regulation for stress mitigation in fish. Sci Rep 2024; 14:7647. [PMID: 38561426 PMCID: PMC10985092 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-024-58028-4] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/10/2023] [Accepted: 03/25/2024] [Indexed: 04/04/2024] Open
Abstract
The persistent challenges posed by pollution and climate change are significant factors disrupting ecosystems, particularly aquatic environments. Numerous contaminants found in aquatic systems, such as ammonia and metal toxicity, play a crucial role in adversely affecting aquaculture production. Against this backdrop, fish feed was developed using quinoa husk (the byproduct of quinoa) as a substitute for fish meal. Six isonitrogenous diets (30%) and isocaloric diets were formulated by replacing fish meal with quinoa husk at varying percentages: 0% quinoa (control), 15, 20, 25, 30 and 35%. An experiment was conducted to explore the potential of quinoa husk in replacing fish meal and assess its ability to mitigate ammonia and arsenic toxicity as well as high-temperature stress in Pangasianodon hypophthalmus. The formulated feed was also examined for gene regulation related to antioxidative status, immunity, stress proteins, growth regulation, and stress markers. The gene regulation of sod, cat, and gpx in the liver was notably upregulated under concurrent exposure to ammonia, arsenic, and high-temperature (NH3 + As + T) stress. However, quinoa husk at 25% downregulated sod, cat, and gpx expression compared to the control group. Furthermore, genes associated with stress proteins HSP70 and DNA damage-inducible protein (DDIP) were significantly upregulated in response to stressors (NH3 + As + T), but quinoa husk at 25% considerably downregulated HSP70 and DDIP to mitigate the impact of stressors. Growth-responsive genes such as myostatin (MYST) and somatostatin (SMT) were remarkably downregulated, whereas growth hormone receptor (GHR1 and GHRβ), insulin-like growth factors (IGF1X, IGF2X), and growth hormone gene were significantly upregulated with quinoa husk at 25%. The gene expression of apoptosis (Caspase 3a and Caspase 3b) and nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) were also noticeably downregulated with quinoa husk (25%) reared under stressful conditions. Immune-related gene expression, including immunoglobulin (Ig), toll-like receptor (TLR), tumor necrosis factor (TNFα), and interleukin (IL), strengthened fish immunity with quinoa husk feed. The results revealed that replacing 25% of fish meal with quinoa husk could improve the gene regulation of P. hypophthalmus involved in mitigating ammonia, arsenic, and high-temperature stress in fish.

Abstract
Carbonaceous materials are commonly used as adsorbents for heavy metals. The determination of the adsorption capacity needs time and energy, and the key factors affecting the adsorption capacity have not been determined. Therefore, a new and efficient method is needed to predict the adsorption capacity and explore the decisive factors in the adsorption process. In this study, three tree-based machine learning models (i.e., random forest, gradient boosting decision tree, and extreme gradient boosting) were developed to predict the adsorption capacity of eight heavy metals (i.e., As, Cd, Cr, Cu, Hg, Ni, Pb, and Zn) on activated carbons, biochars, and carbon nanotubes using 3674 data points extracted from 151 journal articles. After a comprehensive comparison, the gradient boosting decision tree had the best performance for a combined model based on all data (R2 = 0.9707, RMSE = 0.1420). Moreover, independent models were developed for three datasets classified by the adsorbent and eight datasets classified by the heavy metals. In addition, a graphical user interface was built to predict the adsorption capacity of heavy metals. This study provides a novel strategy and convenient tool for the removal of heavy metals and can help to improve the removal efficiency of heavy metals to build a healthier world.

Abstract
The rice fish system represents an innovative and sustainable approach to integrated farming, combining rice cultivation with fish rearing in the same ecosystem. However, one of the major challenges in this system is the pesticidal pollution resulting from various sources, which poses risks to fish health and overall ecosystem balance. In recent years, dietary polyphenols have emerged as promising bioactive compounds with potential chemo-preventive and therapeutic properties. These polyphenols, derived from various plant sources, have shown great potential in reducing the toxicity of pesticides and improving the health of fish within the rice fish system. This review aims to explore the novel aspects of using dietary polyphenols to mitigate pesticidal toxicity and enhance fish health in the rice fish system. It provides comprehensive insights into the mechanisms of action of dietary polyphenols and their beneficial effects on fish health, including antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and detoxification properties. Furthermore, the review discusses the potential application methods of dietary polyphenols, such as direct supplementation in fish diets or through incorporation into the rice fields. By understanding the interplay between dietary polyphenols and pesticides in the rice fish system, researchers can develop innovative and sustainable strategies to promote fish health, minimize pesticide impacts, and ensure the long-term viability of this integrated farming approach. The information presented in this review will be valuable for scientists, aqua-culturists, and policymakers aiming to implement eco-friendly and health-enhancing practices in the rice fish system.

Abstract
The current study focused on assessing the toxicological effects of copper (Cu) and copper nanoparticles (Cu-NPs) in acute condition on Pangasianodon hypophthalmus. The median lethal concentration (LC50 ) for Cu and Cu-NPs were determined as 8.04 and 3.85 mg L-1 , respectively. For the subsequent definitive test, varying concentrations were selected: 7.0, 7.5, 8.0, 8.5, and 9.0 mg L-1 for Cu, and 3.0, 3.3, 3.6, 3.9, and 4.2 mg L-1 for Cu-NPs. To encompass these concentration levels and assess their toxic effects, biomarkers associated with toxicological studies like oxidative stress, neurotransmission, and cellular metabolism were measured in the liver, kidney, and gill tissues. Notably, during the acute test, the activities of catalase, superoxide dismutase, glutathione-s-transferase, glutathione peroxidase, and lipid peroxide in the liver, gill, and kidney tissues were significantly increased due to exposure to Cu and Cu-NPs. Similarly, acetylcholinesterase activity in the brain was notably inhibited in the presence of Cu and Cu-NPs when compared to the control group. Cellular metabolic stress was greatly influenced by the exposure to Cu and Cu-NPs, evident from the considerable elevation of cortisol, HSP 70, and blood glucose levels in the treated groups. Furthermore, integrated biomarker response, genotoxicity, DNA damage in gill tissue, karyotyping in kidney tissue, and histopathology in gill and liver were investigated, revealing tissue damage attributed to exposure to Cu and Cu-NPs. In conclusion, this study determined that elevated concentrations of essential trace elements, namely Cu and Cu-NPs, induce toxicity and disrupt cellular metabolic activities in fish.

Abstract
The current investigation explores the mechanisms of ammonia and arsenic toxicity, along with high-temperature stress, which other researchers rarely addressed. Pangasianodon hypophthalmus was exposed to low doses of ammonia and arsenic (1/10th of LC50, 2.0 and 2.68 mg L-1, respectively) and high temperature (34 °C) for 105 days. The following treatments were applied: control (unexposed), arsenic (As), ammonia (NH3), ammonia + arsenic (NH3 + As), ammonia + temperature (NH3 + T), and NH3 + As + T. Cortisol levels significantly increased with exposure to ammonia (NH3), arsenic (As), and high temperature (34 °C) compared to the unexposed group. Heat shock protein (HSP 70), inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS), and metallothionein (MT) gene expressions were notably upregulated by 122-210%, 98-122%, and 64-238%, respectively, compared to the control. Neurotransmitter enzymes (acetylcholine esterase, AChE) were significantly inhibited by NH3 + As + T, followed by other stressor groups. The apoptotic (caspase, Cas 3a and 3b) and detoxifying (cytochrome P450, CYP P450) pathways were substantially affected by the NH3 + As + T group. Immune (total immunoglobulin, Ig; tumor necrosis factor TNFα; and interleukin IL) and growth-related genes (growth hormone, GH; growth hormone regulator, GHR1 and GHRβ; myostatin, MYST and somatostatin, SMT) were noticeably upregulated by NH3 + As + T, followed by other stress groups, compared to the control group. Weight gain %, protein efficiency ratio, feed efficiency ratio, specific growth rate, and other growth attributes were significantly affected by low doses of ammonia, arsenic, and high-temperature stress. Albumin, total protein, globulin, A:G ratio, and myeloperoxidase (MPO) were highly affected by the As + NH3 + T group. Blood profiling, including red blood cells (RBC), white blood count (WBC), and hemoglobin (Hb), were also impacted by stressor groups compared to the control group. Genotoxicity, as DNA damage, was significantly higher in groups exposed to NH3 + As + T (89%), NH3 + T (78%), NH3 (73), NH3 + As (71), and As (68%). The bioaccumulation of arsenic was substantially higher in liver and kidney tissues. The present study contributes to understanding the toxicity mechanisms of ammonia and arsenic, as well as high-temperature stress, through different gene expressions, biochemical attributes, genotoxicity, immunological status, and growth performance of P. hypophthalmus.

Abstract
It is an urgent needs to address climate change and pollution in aquatic systems using suitable mitigation measures to avoid the aquatic animals' extinction. The vulnerability and extinction of the aquatic animals in the current scenario must be addressed to enhance safe fish food production. Taking into consideration of such issues in fisheries and aquaculture, an experiment was designed to mitigate high temperature (T) and low pH stress, as well as arsenic (As) pollution in fish using copper (Cu) containing diets. In the present investigation, the Cu-containing diets graded with 0, 4, 8, and 12 mg kg-1 were prepared and fed to Pangasianodon hypophthalmus reared under As, low pH, and high-temperature stress. The gene expression was highly affected in terms of the primary, secondary, and tertiary stress response, whereas supplementation of Cu-containing diet mitigates the stress response. Oxidative stress genes such as catalase (CAT), superoxide dismutase (SOD), and glutathione peroxidase (GPx) were significantly upregulated by stressors (As, As + T, and As + pH + T). Whereas, heat shock protein (HSP 70), inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS), metallothionine (MT), caspase 3a (Cas 3a), and cytochrome P450 (CYP 450) were highly upregulated by stressors, while dietary Cu at 8 mg kg-1 diet significantly downregulated these gene expressions. Indeed, the immunity-related genes viz. TNFα, Ig, TLR, and immune-related attributes viz. albumin, globulin, total protein, A:G ratio, blood glucose, NBT, and myeloperoxidase (MPO) were also improved with Cu-containing diets. Cu containing diets substantially improved neurotransmitter enzyme (AChE) and vitamin C (Vit C). DNA damage was also reduced with supplementation of Cu at 8 mg kg-1 diet. The growth index viz. final body weight gain (%), specific growth rate, protein efficiency ratio, food conversion ratio, relative feed intake, and daily growth index were noticeably enhanced by Cu diets (4 and 8 mg kg-1 diet). The growth-related genes expressions viz. growth hormone (GH), growth hormone regulator 1 (Ghr1), growth hormone regulator β (Ghrβ,) myostatin (MYST), and somatostatin (SMT) supported the growth enhancement with Cu at 8 mg kg-1 diet. The bioaccumulation of As was reduced with Cu-containing diets. The fish were infected with Aeromonas hydrophila at the end of the 105 days experimental trial. Cu at 8 mg kg-1 diet improved immunity, reduced the cumulative mortality, and enhanced the relative percentage survival of the fish. The results revealed that the innovative Cu diets could reduce the extinction of the fish against climate change and pollution era and produce the safest production that is safe to humans for consumption.

Abstract
The ongoing challenges of climate change and pollution are major factors disturbing ecosystems, including aquatic systems. They also have an impact on gene regulation and biochemical changes in aquatic animals, including fish. Understanding the mechanisms of gene regulation and biochemical changes due to climate change and pollution in aquatic animals is a challenging task. However, with this backdrop, the present investigation was conducted to explore the effects of arsenic (As) and ammonia (NH3) toxicity and high-temperature (T) stress on gene regulation and biochemical profiles, mitigated by dietary manganese (Mn) in Pangasianodon hypophthalmus. The fish were exposed to different combinations of As, NH3, and T, and fed with dietary Mn at 4, 8, and 12 mg kg-1 to evaluate the gene expression of immunity, antioxidative status, cytokine, and NfKB signaling pathway genes. HSP 70, cytochrome P450 (CYP 450), metallothionein (MT), DNA damage-inducible protein (DDIP), caspase (CAS), tumor necrosis factor (TNFα), toll-like receptor (TLR), interleukin (IL), inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS), catalase (CAT), superoxide dismutase (SOD), and glutathione peroxidase (GPx) were noticeably highly upregulated by As + NH3 + T stress, whereas Mn diet at 8 mg kg-1 downregulated these genes. Further, total immunoglobulin (Ig), myostatin (MYST), somatostatin (SMT), growth hormone (GH), growth hormone regulator 1 and β, insulin-like growth factors (IGF1X1 and IGF1X2) were significantly upregulated by Mn diets. The biochemical profiles were highly affected by stressors (As + NH3 + T). The bioaccumulation of arsenic in different tissues was also notably reduced by Mn diets. Furthermore, the infectivity of the fish was reduced, and survival against pathogenic bacteria was enhanced by Mn diet at 8 mg kg-1. The results of the present investigation revealed that dietary Mn at 8 mg kg-1 controls gene regulation against multiple stressors (As, NH3, As + NH3, NH3 + T, As + NH3 + T) in fish.

Abstract
Aquatic animals are prone to extinction due to metal pollution and global climate change. Even though the fish and their products are also unsafe for human consumption, their exports have been rejected due to inorganic and organic contaminants. Nickel (Ni) is a metal that induces toxicity and accumulates in the aquatic ecosystem, posing health threats to humans, animals, and fish. In light of the above, our present investigation aimed to determine the median lethal concentration (96 h-LC50) of nickel alone and concurrent with high temperature (34 °C) (Ni + T) using static non-renewable bioassay toxicity test in Pangasianodon hypophthalmus. The groups treated under exposure to Ni reared under control condition (25-28.9 °C) and Ni + T exposure group reread under 34 °C. In this study, chose the definitive dose of Ni and Ni + T as 17, 18, 19, and 20 mg L-1 after the range finding test. The median lethal concentration of Ni and Ni + T was determined as 19.38 and 18.75 mg L-1, respectively at 96 h. Oxidative stress viz. catalase (CAT), superoxide dismutase (SOD), glutathione-s-transferase (GST), and glutathione peroxidase (GPx) in the liver, gill, and kidney were noticeably elevated with Ni and Ni + T during 96 h. Whereas, the CAT, GPx, and SOD gene expressions were significantly upregulated with Ni and Ni + T. Trilox equivalent anti-oxidant capacity (TEAC), cupric reducing anti-oxidant capacity (CUPRIC), ferric reducing ability of plasma (FRAP), ethoxy resorufin-O-deethylase (EROD), and acetylcholine esterase (AChE) were reduced due to exposure to Ni and Ni + T. Cellular metabolic stress and lipid peroxidation were highly affected due to Ni and Ni + T exposure. The immunological status, as indicated by total protein, albumin, globulin, A:G ratio, and nitro blue tetrazolium chloride (NBT), was severely affected by the toxicity of Ni and Ni + T. Moreover, the gene expression of interleukin (IL), tumor necrosis factor (TNFα), toll-like receptor (TLR), and total immunoglobulin (Ig) was remarkably downregulated following exposure to Ni and Ni + T. HSP 70, iNOS expression, ATPase, Na + /K + -ATPase, cortisol, and blood glucose was significantly elevated with Ni and Ni + T in P. hypophthalmus. The bioaccumulation of Ni in fish tissues and experimental water was determined. The kidney and liver tissues were highly accumulated with Ni, whereas DNA damage was reported in gill tissue. Interestingly, depuration study revealed that at the 28th day, the Ni bioaccumulation was below the maximum residue limit (MRL) level. Therefore, the present study revealed that Ni and Ni + T led to dysfunctional gene and metabolic regulation affecting physiology and genotoxicity. The bioaccumulation and depuration results also indicate higher residual occurrence of Ni in water and aquatic organisms for longer periods.

Abstract
Arsenic pollution, water temperature, and pH are the major concern for aquaculture. Moreover, the aim of the present investigation was to delineate the role of nano-copper (Cu-NPs) in the mitigation of arsenic toxicity, high temperature (34 °C) and low pH (6.5) stress on Pangasianodon hypophthalmus. Four isonitrogenous and isocaloric experimental diets of Cu-NPs at 0, 1.0, 1.5 and 2.0 mg kg-1 were formulated and prepared. Arsenic pollution, low pH and high temperature stress significantly reduced the anti-oxidative status (super oxide dismutase, catalase, glutathione peroxidase and glutathione-s-transferase), lipid peroxidation, total anti-oxidative capacity and lipid profiling (cholesterol, total lipid, phospholipid, very low-density lipoprotein and triglyceride). Further, the supplementation of Cu-NPs at 1.5 and 1.0 mg kg-1 diets noticeably improve the anti-oxidant status and capacity. The stressors groups (As + pH + T, As + T and As) significantly reduced fish immunity viz. albumin, globulin, total protein, albumin globulin ratio (A:G ratio), myeloperoxidase, respiratory burst activities, tumor necrosis factor, total immunoglobulin, and interleukin. Whereas supplementation of Cu-NPs at 1.5 and 1.0 mg kg-1 diets improved the immunity of the fish reared under multiple stresses (As + pH + T). Tail DNA %, DNA damage-inducible protein (DDIP) and inducible nitric oxide (iNOS) synthase gene expression were significantly enhanced with exposure to arsenic, low pH and high temperature but supplementation of Cu-NPs protects the tissues against DNA damage and improved the gene expression of iNOS and DDIP. Cu-NPs at 1.5 and 1.0 mg kg-1 diets significantly enhanced the body weight gain %, protein efficiency ratio, specific growth rate, daily growth index, relative feed intake and reduced the feed conversion ratio. Whereas, the growth-related gene expression such as myostatin (MYST), somatostatin (SMT) was downregulated by Cu supplementation and upregulated the gene expression of growth hormone regulator 1 and β (GHR1 and GHR β) and growth hormone (GH) gene in fish. Dietary Cu-NPs supplementation protects the fish against bacterial infection and enhances arsenic detoxification in different tissues. The present investigation revealed that supplementation of Cu-NPs at 1.5 and 1.0 mg kg-1 diet has the potential to mitigate multiple stress (As + pH + T) in fish.

Abstract
Ammonia and arsenic pollution, along with the impact of climate change, represent critical factors influencing both the quantity and quality of aquaculture production. Recent developments have underscored the significance of these issues, as they not only disrupt aquatic ecosystems but also have far reaching consequences for human health. To addressed above challenges, an experiment was conducted to delineate the potential of manganese nanoparticles (Mn-NPs) to mitigate arsenic and ammonia pollution as well as high temperature stress in Pangasianodon hypophthalmus. The fish were exposed to different combination of arsenic and ammonia pollution as well as high temperature stress, while simultaneously incorporating diets enriched with Mn-NPs. The inclusion of Mn-NPs at 3 mg kg-1 in the diet led to a noteworthy downregulation of cortisol and HSP 70 gene expression, indicating their potential in mitigating stress responses. Furthermore, immune related gene expressions were markedly altered in response to the stressors but demonstrated improvement with the Mn-NPs diet. Interestingly, the expression of inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS), caspase (CAS), metallothionine (MT) and cytochrome P450 (CYP450) genes expression were prominently upregulated, signifying a stress response. Whereas, Mn-NPs at 3 mg kg-1 diet was significantly downregulated theses gene expression and reduces the stress. In addition to stress-related genes, we evaluated the growth-related gene expressions such as growth hormone (GH), growth hormone regulator 1 (GHR1 and GHRβ), Insulin like growth factor (IGF1 and IGF2) were significantly upregulated whereas, myostatin and somatostatin were downregulated upon the supplementation of dietary Mn-NPs with or without stressors in fish. The gene expression of DNA damage inducible protein and DNA damage in response to head DNA % and tail DNA % was protected by Mn-NPs diets. Furthermore, Mn-NPs demonstrated a capacity to enhance the detoxification of arsenic in different fish tissues, resulting in reduced bioaccumulation of arsenic in muscle and other tissues. This finding highlights Mn-NPs as a potential solution for addressing bioaccumulation associated risks. Our study aimed to comprehensively examined the role of dietary Mn-NPs in mitigating the multiple stressors using gene regulation mechanisms, with enhancing the productive performance of P. hypophthalmus.

Abstract
Recent years, cardiac vascular disease has arisen owing to acute myocardial infarction (MI) and heart failure leading to death worldwide. Various treatments are available for MI in modern medicine such as implantation of devices, pharmaceutical therapy, and transplantation of organs, nonetheless, it has many complications in finding an organ donor, devices for stenosis, high intrusiveness and long-time hospitalization. To overcome these problems, we have designed and developed a novel hydrogel material with a combination of Se NPs loaded poly(ethylene glycol)/tannic acid (PEG/TA) hydrogel for the treatment of acute MI repair. Herein, Se NPs were characterized by effective analytical and spectroscopic techniques. In vitro cell compatibility and anti-oxidant analyses were examined on human cardiomyocytes in different concentrations of Se NPs and appropriate Se NPs loaded hydrogel samples to demonstrate its greater suitability for in vivo cardiac applications. In vivo investigations of MI mice models injected with Se hydrogels established that LV wall thickness was conserved significantly from the value of 235.6 µm to 390 µm. In addition, the relative scar thickness (33.6%) and infarct size (17.1%) of the MI model were enormously reduced after injection of Se hydrogel when compared to the Se NPs and control (MI) sample, respectively, which confirmed that Se introduced hydrogel have greatly influenced on the restoration of the infarcted heart. Based on the investigated results of the nanoformulation samples, it could be a promising material for future generations treatment of acute myocardial infarction and cardiac repair applications.

Abstract
The toxicity of ammonia surged with arsenic pollution and high temperature (34 °C). As climate change enhances the pollution in water bodies, however, the aquatic animals are drastically affected and extinct from nature. The present investigation aims to mitigate arsenic and ammonia toxicity and high-temperature stress (As + NH3 + T) using zinc nanoparticles (Zn-NPs) in Pangasianodon hypophthalmus. Zn-NPs were synthesized using fisheries waste to developing Zn-NPs diets. The four isonitrogenous and isocaloric diets were formulated and prepared. The diets containing Zn-NPs at 0 (control), 2, 4 and 6 mg kg-1 diets were included. Superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT), glutathione peroxidase (GPx) and glutathione-s-transferase (GST) were noticeably improved using Zn-NPs diets in fish reared under with or without stressors. Interestingly, lipid peroxidation was significantly reduced, whereas vitamin C and acetylcholine esterase were enhanced with supplementation of Zn-NPs diets. Immune-related attributes such as total protein, globulin, albumin, myeloperoxidase (MPO), A:G ratio, and NBT were also improved with Zn-NPs at 4 mg kg-1 diet. The immune-related genes such as immunoglobulin (Ig), tumor necrosis factor (TNFα), and interleukin (IL1b) were strengthening in the fish using Zn-NPs diets. Indeed, the gene regulations of growth hormone (GH), growth hormone regulator (GHR1), myostatin (MYST) and somatostatin (SMT) were significantly improved with Zn-NPs diets. Blood glucose, cortisol and HSP 70 gene expressions were significantly upregulated by stressors, whereas the dietary Zn-NPs downregulated the gene expression. Blood profiling (RBC, WBC and Hb) was reduced considerably with stressors (As + NH3 + T), whereas Zn-NPs enhanced the RBC, WBC, and Hb count in fish reread in control or stress conditions. DNA damage-inducible protein gene and DNA damage were significantly reduced using Zn-NPs at 4 mg kg-1 diet. Moreover, the Zn-NPs also enhanced the arsenic detoxification in different fish tissues. The present investigation revealed that Zn-NPs diets mitigate ammonia and arsenic toxicity, and high-temperature stress in P. hypophthalmus.

Abstract
Abstract
The use of pesticides to eliminate pests and weeds has raised concerns about water pollution and adverse effects on aquatic organisms, so many efforts have been made to increase the resistance of fish to these pesticides by using a proper nutrition strategy. Therefore, the aim of this study is to investigate the growth performance, antioxidant, and immune responses of fish exposed to Imidacloprid insecticide (C9H10ClN5O2) by different doses of Chlorella vulgaris dry powder to the diet of common carp (Cyprinus carpio). In this study, 600 common carp with a medium weight (18.10±0.2 g; Mean ± SE) were prepared and after adaptation and determination of lethal concentration of Imidacloprid, for 56 days in 6 treatments and each with 3 replications were classified and tested (Control (T1), 5% Chlorella vulgaris dry powder and no pollution (T2), 10% Chlorella vulgaris dry powder and no pollution (T3), No Chlorella vulgaris dry powder and 12.5% LC50 Imidacloprid (T4), 5% Chlorella vulgaris dry powder plus 12.5% LC50 imidacloprid (T5) and 10% Chlorella vulgaris dry powder plus 12.5% LC50 Imidacloprid (T6)). After 96 hours of exposure to distinct concentrations of the insecticide, the total mortality was measured and the Imidacloprid median lethal concentration (LC50) over 96 hours was calculated (266.2 mg/l) using Probit analysis. According to the result, common carp fed T2 had the highest final weight (FW), weight gain (WG), and specific growth rate (SGR), and the lowest feed conversion ratio (FCR) among the groups (P<0.05). Fish in the T2 group had the highest Total proteins, Albumin and Globulin (P<0.05). Fish in the group T4 had the highest Cortisol, Lactate Dehydrogenase (LDH), Alanine Aminotransferase (ALT), Aspartate Aminotransferase (AST), and Alkaline Phosphatase (ALP) levels in the blood, while fish fed T2 and T3 had low values (P<0.05). The Alternative Complement Pathway (ACH50) was significantly higher in T2 and T3 than other groups (P<0.05). Blood total Immunoglobulin (Ig) and Lysozyme activity were high in T2 and T3 groups, and had the lowest values in the T4 group (P<0.05). The Superoxide Dismutase (SOD), Catalase (CAT) and Glutathione Peroxidase (GPx) showed the highest activities in T2 (P<0.05). T4 group had the highest Malondialdehyde (MDA) level, while T2 and T3 groups had the lowest MDA level (P<0.05). The highest Amylase, Protease and Lipase were in the T2 group, while the lowest values were in the T4 group (P<0.05). In conclusion, dietary Chlorella vulgaris protects common carp from Imidacloprid insecticide, since it improved growth performance, antioxidant and immune responses of fish.

Abstract
The ability of the body to maintain homeostasis requires constant communication between the brain and peripheral tissues. Different organs produce signals, often in the form of hormones, which are detected by the hypothalamus. In response, the hypothalamus alters its regulation of bodily processes, which is achieved through its own pathways of hormonal communication. The generation and transmission of the molecules involved in these bi-directional axes can be affected by redox balance. The essential trace element selenium is known to influence numerous physiological processes, including energy homeostasis, through its various redox functions. Selenium must be obtained through the diet and is used to synthesize selenoproteins, a family of proteins with mainly antioxidant functions. Alterations in selenium status have been correlated with homeostatic disturbances in humans and studies with animal models of selenoprotein dysfunction indicate a strong influence on energy balance. The relationship between selenium and energy metabolism is complicated, however, as selenium has been shown to participate in multiple levels of homeostatic communication. This review discusses the role of selenium in the various pathways of communication between the body and the brain that are essential for maintaining homeostasis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The pollution and climate change in aquatic ecosystems are major problems threatening the aquatic organisms for existence in the recent timeline, which promotes the extinction of the fish species. However, the present study dealt with zinc nanoparticles (Zn-NPs) in mitigating arsenic, ammonia and high temperature stresses in Pangasianodon hypophthalmus. MATERIALS AND METHODS To studying different gene expressions, an experiment was conducted to mitigate the multiple stressors using dietary Zn-NPs at 0, 2, 4, and 6 mg kg-1 diets. In the present investigation, the gene expressions studies were performed for growth hormone regulator 1 (GHR1), growth hormone regulator β (GHRβ), growth hormone (GR) in liver and gill tissue as well as myostatin (MYST) and somatostatin (SMT) in the muscle tissue. The anti-oxidative genes CAT, SOD and GPx in liver and gill tissues were also analysed. Expression studies for stress responsive heat shock protein gene (HSP70), DNA damage inducible protein, inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS), immune related genes such as interleukin (IL), tumour necrosis factor (TNFα), toll like receptor (TLR) and immunoglobulin were performed. At the end of the experiment the fish were infected with Aeromonas hydrophila to evaluate the immunomodulatory role of Zn-NPs. RESULTS In the present investigation, the growth hormone regulator 1 (GHR1), growth hormone regulator β (GHRβ), growth hormone (GR) in liver and gill as well as myostatin (MYST) and somatostatin (SMT) in muscle were noticeably altered, whereas, Zn-NPs at 4 mg kg-1 diet improved gene expressions. The anti-oxidant gene viz. CAT, SOD and GPx in liver and gill tissues were upregulated by stressors such as As, NH3, NH3+T. As+T and As+NH3+T. Therefore, anti-oxidant genes were noticeably improved with dietary Zn-NPs diet. The stress protein gene (HSP70), DNA damage inducible protein, inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) was significantly upregulated, whereas, Zn-NPs diet was applied to the corrected gene regulation. Similarly, immune related genes such as interleukin (IL), tumour necrosis factor (TNFα), toll like receptor (TLR) and immunoglobulin were highly affected by stressors. Dietary Zn-NPs at 4 mg kg-1 diet was improved all the immune related gene expression and mitigate arsenic, ammonia and high temperature stress in fish. CONCLUSION The present investigation revealed that Zn-NPs at 4.0 mg kg-1 diet has enormous potential to modulates arsenic, ammonia and high temperature stress, and protect against pathogenic infections in fish.
