Effects of cold stress on the blood-brain barrier in Plectropomus leopardus.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The leopard coral grouper (Plectropomus leopardus) is a commercially valuable tropical marine fish species known to be sensitive to low temperatures. A comprehensive understanding of the molecular mechanisms governing its response to acute cold stress is of great importance. However, there is a relative scarcity of fundamental research on low-temperature tolerance in the leopard coral grouper.

Methods

In this study, a cooling and rewarming experiment was conducted on 6-month-old leopard coral groupers. Within 24 h, we decreased the ambient temperature from 25 °C to 13 °C and subsequently allowed it to naturally return to 25 °C. During this process, a comprehensive investigation of serum hormone levels, enzyme activity, and brain transcriptome analysis was performe
