Hence, macrophage expression of resistin and its induction by LPS is species-specific, but down-regulation of resistin by thiazolidinedione occurs both in rodents and humans.
Furthermore, insight into the mechanism(s) underlying primate chromosomal evolution can be obtained from the molecular characterization of species-specific rearrangement breakpoints.
The health benefits or hazards associated with fish consumption will require added attention to origin of fish - marine or fresh water - given the reported differences in stores of polyunsaturated fatty acids and N-3 fatty acid between the two types of fish [ 44 45 46 47 ] . Levels of N-3 fatty acids vary by fish species, oil content of fish, sex and age of fish, and factors exogenous to fish such as water temperature [ 47 48 ] . Oily fish from cold waters (whether marine or fresh bodies of water) are reported to have higher levels of N-3 fatty acids in comparison to fish from warmer bodies [ 45 47 ] . The ratio of N-3 to N-6 fatty acids has recently been suggested as being associated with gestation and birth weight [ 49 ] and this ratio is approximately four-times greater in marine fish in comparison to fresh water fish [ 45 ] . Type and species-specific fish consumption will remain important considerations in assessing exposure scenarios based on fish consumption.
Nod factors are a rhizobial species-specific family of lipo-chito-oligosaccharides which function in signal exchange between the bacterium and its symbiotic partner plant [ 38 ] . The first visible signs of nodule formation (root-hair deformation) as part of the symbiotic pathway are triggered by Nod factors [ 39 ] , and although the specific mechanisms of Nod factor function remain unknown, it is clear that it has a central role in initiation of cell division and possibly also nodule differentiation in the root [ 40 ] . For most rhizobia, the product of nodD acts as a transcriptional activator and induces expression of a set of nod genes.
Accelerated evolution in proteins with a narrow phyletic distribution may represent species-specific adaptations in how each organism responds to and processes unique environmental cues.
