These results demonstrate the possibility of reducing protein content in commercial feeds and thus lowing feed costs needed for Pacific threadfin culture.
Varroa mite (and associated viral) parasitization depresses worker expression of genes related to metabolism, especially protein metabolism [ 76] and reduces protein content in adult hemolymph, including Vg [ 77].
SNARK silencing reduced protein content by 56% (p < 0.05), and completely prevented the effect of either TNF-α or palmitate to increase SNARK protein.
R&D with popular staples such as rice, wheat, maize, etc. shows diminished levels of essential nutrients such as iron, zinc and others, and reduced protein content – the quality of foods suffer.
The protein content of AC fluid is largely unknown, but it has been shown to have reduced protein content relative to that of CSF from the same patient, as evaluated by clinical chemistry [ 9].
Protein separation on 2D gels revealed that RNA interference with either cram-1 or pqn-53 had its greatest effect on the detergent-insoluble fraction where they reside (Fig. 1F and H), reducing protein content roughly 20-fold and 11-fold, respectively, relative to controls (Fig. 1D).
In the same study, Järvinen et al (2000) observed an increased sensitivity to doxorubicin in a breast cancer cell line (UACC-812) with TOP2α gene amplification and consequent protein overexpression and conversely, a decreased sensitivity to doxorubicin in a breast cancer cell line with TOP2α deletion and concomitantly reduced protein content (MDA-361).
It is noteworthy that CAR can be covalently incorporated into glycated proteins, and consequently reduce protein carbonyl content [ 42].
Studies with mutations allelic to A6 (Walter Fehr, personal communication 2012) but which only accumulate 10-15% stearic acid, failed to reveal a correlation with reduced protein content or reduced seed yield [ 15].
Falone et al. [73] found that recreational runners exhibited greater serum antioxidant capacity and reduced protein carbonyl content before and after exhaustive exercise than untrained subjects.
