The 838 nucleotides of LvDBP23 cDNA contain a protein-coding sequence of 639 nucleotides and 183 nucleotides of 39 non-coding region with the stop codon and polyadenylation signal. This LvDBP23 mRNA was highly expressed in abdominal muscle of the juvenile shrimp, along with other tissues such as swimming legs, intestine, lymphoid and gill. The mRNA sequence of LvDBP23 was successfully used for recombinant Concanamycin A protein production in insect cell culture. LvDBP23 mRNA has a high level of expression during the intermot stage. Nuclei acidbinding assay showed LvDBP23 has both ssDNA and dsDNA binding properties, which support the predicted function of the DNA binding Gly-rich domain. Therefore, we concluded that LvDBP23 is a novel putative DNA-bind protein, which may involve in regulation of muscle protein gene expression during the intermolt stage. Obesity is a critical health issue worldwide affecting both industrialized and developing nations. Several factors have been associated with the increasing prevalence of obesity, including diminished AS-136A physical exercise and an increased consumption of saturated fats and refined carbohydrates. Obesity is associated with multiple clinical complications and diseases including insulin resistance, hypertension, inflammation, oxidative stress, and dyslipidemia. Polyphenols are a diverse group of compounds that are ubiquitous in the plant kingdom. Over the last few years, the beneficial effects associated with the consumption of polyphenols have been widely studied. Several in vitro and in vivo studies have demonstrated the anti-oxidant and anti-inflammatory activities of polyphenolics, some of which have also been shown to possess anti-lipidemic and anti-obesity effects, including suppression of adipogenesis and adipocyte proliferation, inhibition of fat absorption, as well as modulation of energy metabolism and inflammation. Interestingly, a growing number of investigations suggest that dietary polyphenols can modulate the composition and metabolic activity of intestinal microorganisms, which may be, at least in part, involved in the underlying mechanisms for the associated health benefits. This hypothesis is supported by the close association between energy harvest, obesity, and the complex assembly of microorganisms residing in the intestinal tract.
