Dose-dependent effects of hydroquinone on liver injury and lipid dysregulation based on SCD1/AMPK signaling pathway in C57BL/6 mice by Lijun Zou, Fen Lin, Jinying Wen, Jinyu Huang, Yue Tan, Hui Huang, Gonghua Hu

“…Our findings indicated that lower doses of HQ (12.5 and 25.0 mg/kg) led to lipid accumulation in the liver, accompanied by increased liver TG and serum TC. In contrast, the highest dose (50.0 mg/kg) resulted in elevated liver enzyme levels, indicative of liver damage, while lipid levels decreased. …”

Qualitative and quantitative characteristics of black patch trait in Oujiang color common carp by Ke Jing, Huifan Chen, Nusrat Hasan Kanika, Penghui Zhang, Roland Nathan Mandal, Chunxiao Zeng, Zhiyi Zhang, Jun Wang, Chenghui Wang

“…Gene editing on Ednrb by using the CRISPR/Cas9 system showed that the mutants displayed a significantly reduced number of black patches in comparison to the wild-type RB, accompanied by noticeably smaller melanocytes. Generally, our study uncovers the dual nature of the black patches: the presence of black patches is categorized as a qualitative trait, whereas the number of black patches is classified as a quantitative trait.…”
