    This study investigates the synergistic effects of swimming activity and dietary restriction on the metabolic and nutritional characteristics of muscle tissue in juvenile rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss, Walbaum, 1792). During a 6-week study, four groups of juvenile rainbow trout, each starting with an average weight of 26.54 +/- 0.36 g, were analyzed: the first group was allowed to feed freely in static water (SW group), the second experienced a dietary limitation (25% feed restriction) (LF group), the third was required to swim at a speed of one body length per second (SE group), and the fourth group faced a combination of dietary restriction (25% feed restriction) and enforced swimming activity (SELF group). Swimming activity was implemented using a water flow rate of one body length per second (1 BL s-1), ensuring a standardized exercise intensity. Comprehensive analysis revealed significant alterations in biochemical parameters, amino acid composition, and fatty acid profiles in rainbow trout muscle tissue. The results indicate a decrease in histidine levels (p < 0.05) with the combined effect of both swimming and feeding restrictions. Additionally, cysteine and semi-essential amino acids (EAAs) showed a decrease (p < 0.05) solely due to the influence of swimming. As for fatty acid outcomes, linolenic acid exhibited a reduction with the combined impact of both swimming and feeding restrictions (p < 0.05), while margaric acid significantly decreased (p < 0.05) only with the influence of swimming. Crucial shifts in antioxidant defense mechanisms, including glutathione (GSH) and lipid peroxidation (LPO) levels, were identified, highlighting the roles of catalase (CAT), superoxide dismutase (SOD), and glutathione peroxidase (GPx) as biochemical parameters. Detailed examination further clarified modifications in glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) activities, reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels, and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) activity, serving as pivotal indicators of oxidative stress and tissue damage. These findings contribute to a holistic understanding of nutritional dynamics within rainbow trout muscle tissue, offering insights crucial for optimizing fish health and productivity in aquaculture.

    Synthesis novel N,S-substituted nitrobutadiene derivatives: some metabolic enzyme inhibition properties and antioxidant activities and in silico ADMET and molecular docking studies
    (Springer, 2024) Bayrak, Bertan Boran; Ertik, Onur; Onul, Nihal; Mermer, Nese Senturk; Yanardag, Refiye
    Enzyme inhibition is one of the leading drug development methods for the treatment of many diseases. Due to the possible side effects and low bioavailability of existing drugs, studies are continuing for the discovery of new drugs. In this study, in vitro elastase, acetylcholinesterase inhibition activities of newly synthesized N,S-substituted polyhalogenated nitrobuta-1,3-dienes derivatives (compounds 3, 4a, 4b, 4c, 4d, 4e, and 4f), as well as their antioxidant properties, were investigated. Results was showed that compounds 4a (IC50 = 22.10 +/- 0.49 mu M), 4b (IC50 = 53.98 +/- 1.77 mu M), and 4f (IC50 = 32.01 +/- 1.33 mu M) showed higher elastase inhibition effect than positive control, ursolic acid (IC50 = 479.11 +/- 15.53 mu M) and in silico adsorption, distribution, metabolism, excretion, and toxicity (ADMET) and molecular docking studies were carried out in line with the results. As a result of molecular docking studies with iGemdock, DockThor, and Autodock Vina, it was determined that there was a higher binding relevance for compounds 4a (- 84.41/- 8.439 kcal/mol), 4b (- 86.32/- 7.878 kcal/mol), and 4f (- 86.32/- 8.530 kcal/mol) than ursolic acid (- 77.67/- 7.024 kcal/mol) for iGemdock and DockThor. It has been shown by DPPH, ABTS, and reducing power experiments that all compounds also show antioxidant properties. In conclusion, both in vitro and in silico molecular docking studies of compounds 4a, 4b, and 4f show that these three compounds are potent inhibitors of elastase.
