Jaws: The Inside Story. The Metabolism of Elasmobranch Fishes

Molecular markers of cancer in cartilaginous fish: immunocytochemical study of PCNA, p‐53, myc and ras expression in neoplastic and hyperplastic tissues from free ranging blue sharks, Prionace glauca (L.)

“…First, there are very small numbers of sharks held in captivity or used in research, and no sharks are used in aquaculture, all of which were historically a source of data on neoplasia in teleost fish. In addition, contrary to Ballantyne’s (1997) statement that thousands of sharks have been examined, our own research indicates that the actual number of sharks studied by pathologists is very small. Adding to this problem is the fact that many tumours in sharks, for example hepatic tumours, can be detected only by histological examination (J.…”

Serum Protein Analysis of Nurse Sharks

“…The minor fraction 1 band (rather than albumin) may contain high-density lipoproteins as described in other elasmobranchs, as the location and concentration of fraction 1 in this study is consistent with the location of fraction 1 in those studies (Metcalf and Gemmell 2005;Cray et al 2015). The low levels of albumin fractions compared with mammals are in accordance with previous reports in the literature for elasmobranchs, as elasmobranchs do not possess albumin (Ballantyne 1997;Metcalf and Gemmell 2005;TABLE 1. Reference intervals for morphometric data and body conditions of Nurse Sharks caught in South Florida.…”

Protein and cholesterol electrophoresis of plasma samples from captive cownose ray ( Rhinoptera bonasus )

“…2,3,25 One study estimated it as <10% of the total lipoprotein, which is consistent with that observed in the present * Analyses conducted on 35 samples using the robust method. Data for total solids, percent fraction 1, percent fraction 2, and fraction 4 was not normally distributed.…”
