Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Change of autophagic activity was observed in liver of medaka fish (Oryzias latipes) prepared after different fasting time period. Effect of amino acids was tested using a newly developed artificial food, to show only single amino acid (L-Ala、L-Arg、or L-Pro) was enough to alter autophagic activity. These result provide a new measurement for nutritional status in medaka fish, and help to investigate biological mechanism for nutrient requiring.
