This study investigated the variations and alterations in the concentrations of plasmin system components in raw and UHT (ultra-high-temperature) milk under cold stress (WCT ≤ −25 °C), heat stress (THI ≥ 80), and normal (THI < 70 and WCT ≥ −10 °C) circumstances. The findings indicated elevated amounts of plasmin system components in cold-stressed raw milk. While storing UHT milk at 25 °C, the concentrations and activity of plasmin in the milk exhibited an initial increase followed by a decrease, peaking around the 30th day. The maximum plasmin level and activity in cold-stressed milk were 607.86 μg/L and 15.99 U/L, respectively, with the beginning of gelation occurring around day 60. The higher activity of plasmin in cold-stressed milk led to the poorer stability and sensory assessment of the milk. However, heat-stressed milk is not such a problem for UHT milk as cold-stressed milk. The findings indicate shortcomings in the quality of cold-stressed milk and its adverse effects on the stability of UHT milk, underscoring the necessity of preventing cold stress in the herd and refraining from utilizing cold-stressed milk as a raw material for UHT production.

Cold stress is a major threat to fish in both nature and aquaculture, and can induce oxidative stress in various fish. While the exact role of oxidative stress in cold-caused mortality is still unknown. The purpose of the present study was to evaluate the effects of oxidative stress on cold tolerance in fish and verify whether changing oxidative status could affect cold tolerance. We firstly demonstrated that acute cold exposure induced high oxidative stress in zebrafish liver, which may lead to mortality. Then we performed in vivo and in vitro experiments to determine the effects of the altered oxidative status on cold tolerance in zebrafish and zebrafish liver cell line (ZFL), respectively. In the in vivo study, the zebrafish which were fed with α-lipoic acid or reduced glutathione had lower cold-caused oxidative stress and tissues damage, and showed higher cold tolerance. In the experiment using zebrafish cells, increasing oxidative stress by H 2 O 2 decreased the cellular cold tolerance, and the cold tolerance was partly recovered when oxidative stress was reduced by the addition of Vitamin C (VC). Taken together, we conclude that the reduction of oxidative stress increases cold tolerance in fish.

Mitophagy is an essential cellular autophagic process that selectively removes superfluous and damaged mitochondria, and it is coordinated with mitochondrial biogenesis to fine tune the quantity and quality of mitochondria. Coordination between these two opposing processes to maintain the functional mitochondrial network is of paramount importance for normal cellular and organismal metabolism. However, the underlying mechanism is not completely understood. Here we report that PGC-1α and nuclear respiratory factor 1 (NRF1), master regulators of mitochondrial biogenesis and metabolic adaptation, also transcriptionally upregulate the gene encoding FUNDC1, a previously characterized mitophagy receptor, in response to cold stress in brown fat tissue. NRF1 binds to the classic consensus site in the promoter of Fundc1 to upregulate its expression and to enhance mitophagy through its interaction with LC3. Specific knockout of Fundc1 in BAT results in reduced mitochondrial turnover and accumulation of functionally compromised mitochondria, leading to impaired adaptive thermogenesis. Our results demonstrate that FUNDC1-dependent mitophagy is directly coupled with mitochondrial biogenesis through the PGC-1α/NRF1 pathway, which dictates mitochondrial quantity, quality, and turnover and contributes to adaptive thermogenesis.

Antibiotic resistance in Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium ( S . ser. Typhimurium) has become a critical safety hazard in food. Sublethal environmental stresses can influence resistance in Salmonella during food processing. This study simulated environmental stresses in food processing. The antibiotic resistance of three strains of S . ser. Typhimurium (the ATCC 14028 strain and two wild-type isolates from chicken and pork product processing) was evaluated under different pH levels (5.0, 5.5, 6.0, 8.0, and 9.0). Also, dynamic changes in resistance with treatment duration under cold (4 °C, −20 °C) and heat (55 °C) treatment were studied. The results showed that acid and alkaline stresses reduced the resistance of S. ser. Typhimurium to eight antibiotics; meanwhile, the resistance of meropenem (MERO) increased. The minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC) of MERO was increased 16- to 64-fold. With acid or alkaline stress, the extracellular ATP content increased, and the scanning electron microscopy (SEM) result clearly revealed the appearance of wrinkles and holes on the outer membrane of Salmonella . These observations imply changes in membrane permeability, which may decrease the antibiotic resistance of Salmonella . Cold or heat stress increased the resistance of S . ser. Typhimurium to tetracycline, cefotaxime, ceftazidime, nalidixic acid, azithromycin, and ampicillin; the MIC increased 2- to 4-fold. The antibiotic resistance only changed when cold and heat stresses occurred over a certain period of time and remained unchanged when the stress persisted. This study reports on the ability of S. ser. Typhimurium to develop antibiotic resistance after environmental stresses. It can provide valuable information for meat processing to improve interventions and risk management.

Temperature is a critical factor that regulates the reproduction processes in teleost. However, the gonadal response mechanism to cold stress in fish remains largely unknown. In the present study, female zebrafish were exposed to different extents of low temperatures at 18 °C and 10 °C for 48 h. The ovarian histology was remarkably damaged after cold stress exposure. Integrated analysis of miRNA-mRNA was used to investigate the ovarian response to acute cold stress. A large number of mRNAs and miRNAs were altered by cold stress, which are involved in extensive biological processes . It is indicated that the signal transduction of MAPK and Calcium signaling pathway is highly engaged in zebrafish ovary to adapt to cold stress. The immune system was dysregulated by cold stress while the ovarian autophagy was activated. Remarkably increased gene number related to reproductive functions was identified in the cold stress at 10 °C compared to the control. The cold stress-induced dysregulated reproductive genes include star , hsd3b1 , hsd17b1 , inha , insl3 , amh , nanos1 and foxl2 . Combined with the dysregulated insulin, IGF and progesterone signaling, it is suggested that cold stress affects ovarian function in multiple aspects, including oocyte meiosis, folliculogenesis , final maturation and ovarian maintenance. On the other hand, the ovarian miRNA-mRNA regulatory network response to cold stress was also constructed. Overall, our result revealed the ovarian response to cold stress in zebrafish and provided insight into the fish adaptation mechanism to acute temperature change.
