Effects of short term fasting on mRNA expression of ghrelin and the peptide transporters PepT1 and 2 in Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar)
Del Vecchio, Gianmarco; Lai, Floriana; Gomes, Ana S.; Verri, Tiziano; Kalananthan, Tharmini; Barca, Amilcare; Handeland, Sigurd Olav; Rønnestad, Ivar (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)Food intake is a vital process that supplies necessary energy and essential nutrients to the body. Information regarding luminal composition in the gastrointestinal tract (GIT) collected through mechanical and nutrient ... -
Functional characterization of Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar L.) PepT2 transporters
Vacca, Francesca; Gomes, Ana S.; Murashita, Koji; Cinquetti, Raffella; Roseti, Cristina; Barca, Amilcare; Rønnestad, Ivar; Verri, Tiziano; Bossi, Elena (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)The high-affinity/low-capacity system Slc15a2 (PepT2) is responsible for the reuptake of di/tripeptides from the renal proximal tubule, but it also operates in many other tissues and organs. Information regarding PepT2 in ... -
Identification and characterization of the Atlantic salmon peptide transporter 1a
Gomes, Ana S.; Vacca, Francesca; Cinquetti, Raffaella; Murashita, Koji; Barca, Amilcare; Bossi, Elena; Rønnestad, Ivar; Verri, Tiziano (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)Peptide transporter 1 (PepT1) mediates the uptake of dietary di-/tripeptides in vertebrates. However, in teleost fish gut, more than one PepT1-type transporter might operate, because of teleost-specific whole gen(om)e ... -
The peptide transporter 1a of the zebrafish Danio rerio, an emerging model in nutrigenomics and nutrition research: Molecular characterization, functional properties, and expression analysis
Vacca, Francesca; Barca, Amilcare; Gomes, Ana S.; Mazzei, Aurora; Piccinni, Barbara; Cinquetti, Raffaella; Del Vecchio, Gianmarco; Romano, Alessandro; Rønnestad, Ivar; Bossi, Elena; Verri, Tiziano (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019-12-19)Background: Peptide transporter 1 (PepT1, alias Slc15a1) mediates the uptake of dietary di/tripeptides in all vertebrates. However, in teleost fish, more than one PepT1-type transporter might function, due to specific whole ... -
Rearing conditions and automated feed distribution systems for zebrafish (Danio rerio)
del Veccio, Gianmarco; Mazzei, Aurora; Schiavone, Roberta; Gomes, Ana S.; Frangelli, Giovanni; Sala, Tomasso; Fantino, Stefania; Brocca, Marco G.A.; Barca, Amilcare; Rønnestad, Ivar; Verri, Tiziano (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)Zebrafish (Danio rerio) is a well-established animal model, used in a number of research areas. In the last decade, it has also emerged as a tool to evaluate the effects of diets and dietary components and to test novel ...
