Fishes living in icy seawater are usually protected from freezing by endogenous antifreeze proteins (AFPs) that bind to ice crystals and stop them from growing. The scattered distribution of five highly diverse AFP types across phylogenetically dispa

The conversion of α-synuclein from its natively unfolded and α-helical tetrameric forms to an amyloid conformation is central to the emergence of Parkinson’s disease. Therefore, prevention of this conversion may offer an effective way of avoiding

Rainbow smelt ( Osmerus mordax ) accumulate high levels of glycerol and moderate levels of trimethylamine oxide (TMAO) that lower the colligative freezing point of the serum and thereby contribute to seasonal freeze resistance. In the current study,

The rainbow smelt (Osmerus mordax) is freeze-resistant and maintains swimming and feeding activity during winter. In order to identify genes differentially expressed in smelt liver response to winter water temperatures, a large-scale analysis of gene

Rainbow smelt (Osmerus mordax) accumulate high levels of glycerol in winter that serve as an antifreeze. Liver glycogen is a source of glycerol during the early stages of glycerol accumulation, whereas dietary glucose and amino acids are essential to

Rainbow smelt (Osmerus mordax) inhabit inshore waters along the North American Atlantic coast. During the winter, these waters are frequently ice covered and can reach temperatures as low as -1.9 degrees C. To prevent freezing, smelt accumulate high

SUMMARYSmelt (Osmerus mordax) were maintained at either ambient water temperature or approximately 5°C and various aspects of their freeze-avoidance response were examined from early winter until early spring. Plasma levels of glycerol, trimethylami

Antifreeze proteins (AFPs) are produced by several cold-water fish species. They depress physiological freezing temperatures by inhibiting growth of ice crystals and, in so doing, permit the survival of these fish in seawater cooler than their normal

Haddock (Melanogrammus aeglefinus) is a promising new species for aquaculture in Eastern Canada. Because haddock aquaculture could involve overwintering of fish in sea cages in icy near-shore areas, haddock freeze resistance was studied. Measurements
