Exposure of quahogs to P. minimum resulted in: a lower percentage of phagocytic hemocytes, higher production of reactive oxygen species (ROS), larger hemocyte size, more-numerous hemocytic aggregates, and increased numbers of hemocytes in gills accompanied by vacuolation and hyperplasia of the water-tubular epithelial cells of the gills. (rwu.edu)
and immune parameters, including total hemocyte counts (THC), reactive oxygen species (ROS), cell necrosis, apoptosis, and DNA damage within hemocytes were investigated using a portable flow cytometer. (accesson.kr)
Clams3
Further, cellular defense status of clams was evaluated by analyzing hemocyte parameters (morphological and functional) using flow-cytometry. (rwu.edu)
The analyzed immune parameters were also compared with those measured in the clams kept at 4 °C for 12 h. (accesson.kr)
The immune parameters of the field-collected clams were 737,568/ml of THC, 0.553% of DNA damage, 41.962 A.U. of ROS, 0.121% of necrosis rate, and 0.055% of apoptosis rate, respectively. (accesson.kr)
Biomass2
The study analyzed the prevalence relative to O. edulis density, biomass and a range of environmental parameters. (wikipedia.org)
Mullet (3.45 g) were supplemented (either biomass of 500 or 700 g m(-3)) into six aquaria where shrimp (0.48 g) was stocked at a density of 80 g m(-3). (ugent.be)

Hemolymph1
An option for hemolymph collection, in the area termed, the Ventral Coelomic Hemolymph Collection Zone (VCHCZ) is presented as a technique to assess hemocytes. (researchsquare.com)
Environmental parameters1
Possible correlations between benthic diversity, community composition and environmental parameters will be determined with multivariate statistics. (leibniz-zmt.de)
Invertebrates1
The major goal is to determine the diversity, distribution and community composition of macrobenthic invertebrates in relation to water and sediment parameters, including the concentrations of nutrients and contaminants in the vicinity of aquaculture facilities and at reference sites. (leibniz-zmt.de)
Blood2
Objective: This study was designed to investigate the effect of endocrine metabolic factors on hemocyte parameters, tumor markers, and blood electrolytes in patients with hyperglycemia. (bvsalud.org)
Conclusion: Endocrine metabolic factors are closely related to hemocyte parameters, tumor markers, and blood electrolytes in patients with hyperglycemia. (bvsalud.org)
Effect2
Thus, the effect of QPX alone on the hemocyte parameters of quahogs could not be assessed in this experiment, but it was possible to assess different responses of infected versus non-infected quahogs to P. minimum . (rwu.edu)
QPX-infected quahogs exposed to P. minimum had repressed percentage of phagocytic hemocytes, consistent with immuno-modulating effect of P. minimum upon several molluscan species, as well as smaller hemocytes and increased hemocyte infiltration throughout the soft tissues. (rwu.edu)
Factors1
Furthermore, as Procambarus virginalis (clonal crayfish) becomes increasingly more available as a biological model, it is important to categorize husbandry parameters for this genus to increase validity and decrease confounding factors for investigators. (researchsquare.com)
Cell1
Quahogs from Massachusetts with variable intensity of QPX infection were exposed, under controlled laboratory conditions, to cultured P. minimum added to the natural plankton at a cell density equivalent to a natural bloom. (rwu.edu)
Natural1
We evaluated the elasticity modulus and viscoelastic parameters of the natural tissues ( E ∼ 10 kPa) and measured the mechanical properties of some artificial materials that have previously been used in soft robotics. (tonmo.com)
Hypoxia3
Moreover, hematological parameters were modulated only in response to hypoxia. (scielo.br)
