... Energy is essential for sustaining normal life activities, and in the case of crustaceans, regulating energy metabolism enables their adaptation to environmental changes [46]. In this context, the hepatopancreas is a crucial organ for energy storage and metabolism, providing the necessary energy for stress responses [47]. Glycolysis, a vital pathway for carbohydrate metabolism, is widespread among animals, with its key purpose being the production of ATP under hypoxic conditions to fulfill the energy demands of cells devoid of mitochondria or during environmental stress [48]. ...

... Flathead asp (Pseudaspius leptocephalus (Pallas, 1776)) a member of the Leuciscidae family of the Cypriniformes, is endemic to the Heilongjiang River Basin (=Amur River Basin) of China, Russia, and Mongolia 1-3 . It is mainly found in the Heilongjiang, Wusuli, and Songhua Rivers, as well as their tributaries in Northeast China [4][5][6] . It is commonly referred to as "Yaluo" fish, and it is considered one of the premium indigenous fish species in the Heilongjiang River Basin due to its delicate and tender flavour and the notable absence of a fishy taste of its flesh 5,7,8 . ...

... After exposure to salinity stress, AST, ALT, ALP, and LDH enzyme activity increased, which indicates a need to deal with stress and cell damage. 59 Furthermore, in another study performed on pufferfish (Takifugu obscurus) under stress, AST, ALT, LDH, glucose, and triglyceride levels increased significantly while ALP levels decreased. Additionally, it reduced the number of blood cells, inhibited cell viability, and caused DNA damage and apoptosis. ...

... The brown frog (Rana dybowskii) plays a significant role within the forest and water ecosystem of Heilongjiang Province, located in Northeast China, holding a long-standing cultural history and serving as a valuable economic resource due to the high economic value of the fallopian tube, known as Oviductus Ranae (OR), of its female species (Wei et al., 2023). Studies have demonstrated that the OR is rich in proteins, unsaturated fatty acids, amino acids, phospholipids, steroids, nucleosides, vitamins, hormones, trace elements, and sugars, exhibiting a broad spectrum of physiological activities , (Zhang et al., 2024). ...

... In recent years, high-throughput sequencing has been widely used in molecular biological research to identify key differentially expressed genes (DEGs) related to plant response to abiotic stress [21] . The stressors include salt [22] , drought [23] , low temperatures [24] , high temperatures [25] , and heavy metals [26] . ...

... Previous studies have shown that glycinin increases the abundance of pathogenic bacteria in the gut of aquatic animals and increases the chance of infection by pathogenic bacteria (He, et al. 2022;Han et al. 2019). In addition, several studies have established that enteritis is associated with a reduction in the diversity of the gut microbiota (Shi et al. 2023;Zhou et al. 2023). This is also supported by our findings that dietary glycinin significantly altered the composition of the gut microbiota of L. crocea, such as reducing the abundance of Actinobacteria and Bifidobacterium and increasing the abundance of Bacteroides and Streptococcus. ...

... MDA is an indicator used to assess oxidative stress generated from the polyunsaturated fatty acids peroxidation process [34]. SOD is considered an important endogenous antioxidant enzyme, which alleviates cellular oxidative damage by scavenging ROS [35]. We tested the activity of MDA and SOD to evaluate the changes of oxidative stress in zebrafish embryos exposed to FLC. ...

... Moreover, enrichment of probiotic cultures may be considered an effective strategy to improve efficacy against Cd-induced toxicity. Specifically, administration of Se-enriched L. plantarum to Luciobarbus capito ameliorated memory loss by reducing brain Cd accumulation and modulating Cd-induced signaling pathways (Shang et al., 2022). Thus, it is reasonable to propose that administration of probiotics may be considered a protective strategy against Cd neurotoxicity, although further elucidation of the efficacy and the underlying mechanisms are required. ...

... High Ca 2 ⁺ content has harmful effects to bodies (Marcusson et al., 1997) (Severi et al., 2014), and the binding of ACh and Glu-to their corresponding receptors also requires the participation of Ca 2+ (Wu et al., 2010) (Qiu et al., 2020). Recent research shows that Ca 2 ⁺ signaling pathway are enriched in brain injury induced by mercury in Common Carp (Zhang et al., 2023).The excess of Ca 2 ⁺ after IHg stress in our study indicated that IHg may cause Ca 2 ⁺ overload which could induce damage to the nervous system in M. chinensis philippi. ...
