Dynamic transcriptomic profiles of zebrafish gills in response to zinc depletion.

Zheng, D; Kille, P; Feeney, GP; Cunningham, P; Handy, RD; Hogstrand, C (England, 2010-10-08)

BACKGROUND: Zinc deficiency is detrimental to organisms, highlighting its role as an essential micronutrient contributing to numerous biological processes. To investigate the underlying molecular events invoked by zinc ...
Dynamic transcriptomic profiles of zebrafish gills in response to zinc supplementation.

Zheng, D; Kille, P; Feeney, GP; Cunningham, P; Handy, RD; Hogstrand, C (England, 2010-10-11)

BACKGROUND: Dietary zinc supplementation may help to promote growth, boost the immune system, protect against diabetes, and aid recovery from diarrhoea. We exploited the zebrafish (Danio rerio) gill as a unique vertebrate ...
Uptake epithelia behave in a cell-centric and not systems homeostatic manner in response to zinc depletion and supplementation.

Zheng, D; Feeney, GP; Handy, RD; Hogstrand, C; Kille, P (England, 2014-01)

Much remains to be understood about systemic regulation of zinc uptake in vertebrates, and adequate zinc status is far from always achieved in animals or human. In addition to absorbing zinc from the diet, fish are able ...
