Abstract
This study evaluated the influence of hypoxia and ammonia-N co-exposure on oxygen consumption, glucose metabolism and amino acid metabolism in hybrid grouper. The results showed that elevated expression of GLUT1, MCT1, PFK, HK and LDH were induced by co-exposure to hypoxia and ammonia. In addition, co-exposure to hypoxia and ammonia reduced the tolerance of hybrid grouper to ammonia-N. Furthermore, ammonia-N exposure caused an increase in oxygen consumption in hybrid grouper. After ammonia-N exposure for 96 h, 10 amino acids contents and activities of AST and ALT elevated in hybrid grouper muscle. The study revealed that combined exposure to hypoxia and ammonia-N significantly increased glucose metabolism, oxygen consumption and amino acid metabolism in hybrid grouper, and presented significant synergistic effects.

Abstract
Mitochondrial reactive oxygen species (ROS) homeostasis is intricately linked to energy conversion reactions and entails regulation of the mechanisms of ROS production and removal. However, there is limited understanding of how energy demand modulates ROS balance. Skeletal muscle experiences a wide range of energy requirements depending on the intensity and duration of exercise and therefore is an excellent model to probe the effect of altered energy demand on mitochondrial ROS production. Because in most fish skeletal muscle exists essentially as pure spatially distinct slow-twitch red oxidative and fast-twitch white glycolytic fibers, it provides a natural system for investigating how functional specialization affects ROS homeostasis. We tested the hypothesis that acute increase in energy demand imposed by exhaustive exercise will increase mitochondrial H2O2 emission to a greater extent in red muscle mitochondria (RMM) compared with white muscle mitochondria (WMM). We found that native H2O2 emission rates varied by up to 6-fold depending on the substrate being oxidized and muscle fiber type, with RMM emitting at higher rates with glutamate-malate and palmitoylcarnitine while WMM emitted at higher rates with succinate and glyceral-3-phosphate. Exhaustive exercise increased the native and site-specific H2O2 emission rates; however, the maximal emission rates depended on the substrate, fiber type and redox site. The H2O2 consumption capacity and activities of individual antioxidant enzymes including the glutathione- and thioredoxin-dependent peroxidases as well as catalase were higher in RMM compared with WMM indicating that the activity of antioxidant defense system does not explain the differences in H2O2 emission rates in RMM and WMM. Overall, our study suggests that substrate selection and oxidation may be the key factors determining the rates of ROS production in RMM and WMM following exhaustive exercise.

Am J Physiol Regul Integr Comp Physiol 2023; 325:R556-R567.

Abstract
Lactate is now recognized as a regulator of fuel selection in mammals because it inhibits lipolysis by binding to the hydroxycarboxylic acid receptor 1 (HCAR1). The goals of this study were to quantify the effects of exogenous lactate on: 1) lipolytic rate or rate of appearance of glycerol in the circulation (Ra glycerol) and hepatic glucose production (Ra glucose), and 2) key tissue proteins involved in lactate signaling, glucose transport, glycolysis, gluconeogenesis, lipolysis, and β-oxidation in rainbow trout. Measurements of fuel mobilization kinetics show that lactate does not affect lipolysis as it does in mammals (Ra glycerol remains at 7.3 ± 0.5 µmol·kg-1·min-1), but strongly reduces hepatic glucose production (16.4 ± 2.0 to 8.9 ± 1.2 µmol·kg-1·min-1). This reduction is likely induced by decreasing gluconeogenic flux through the inhibition of cytosolic phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase (Pck1, alternatively called Pepck1; 60% and 24% declines in gene expression and protein level, respectively). It is also caused by lactate substituting for glucose as a fuel in all tissues except white muscle that increases glut4a expression and has limited capacity for monocarboxylate transporter (Mct)-mediated lactate import. We conclude that lipolysis is not affected by hyperlactatemia because trout show no activation of autocrine Hcar1 signaling (gene expression of the receptor is unchanged or even repressed in red muscle). Lactate regulates fuel mobilization via Pck1-mediated suppression of gluconeogenesis and by replacing glucose as a fuel. This study highlights important functional differences in the Hcar1 signaling system between fish and mammals for the regulation of fuel selection.

Fatty Acid Sensing in the Gastrointestinal Tract of Rainbow Trout: Different to Mammalian Model? Int J Mol Sci 2023; 24:ijms24054275. [PMID: 36901706 PMCID: PMC10002231 DOI: 10.3390/ijms24054275] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/30/2022] [Revised: 01/23/2023] [Accepted: 02/02/2023] [Indexed: 02/24/2023] Open
Abstract
It is well established in mammals that the gastrointestinal tract (GIT) senses the luminal presence of nutrients and responds to such information by releasing signaling molecules that ultimately regulate feeding. However, gut nutrient sensing mechanisms are poorly known in fish. This research characterized fatty acid (FA) sensing mechanisms in the GIT of a fish species with great interest in aquaculture: the rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss). Main results showed that: (i) the trout GIT has mRNAs encoding numerous key FA transporters characterized in mammals (FA transporter CD36 -FAT/CD36-, FA transport protein 4 -FATP4-, and monocarboxylate transporter isoform-1 -MCT-1-) and receptors (several free FA receptor -Ffar- isoforms, and G protein-coupled receptors 84 and 119 -Gpr84 and Gpr119-), and (ii) intragastrically-administered FAs differing in their length and degree of unsaturation (i.e., medium-chain (octanoate), long-chain (oleate), long-chain polyunsaturated (α-linolenate), and short-chain (butyrate) FAs) exert a differential modulation of the gastrointestinal abundance of mRNAs encoding the identified transporters and receptors and intracellular signaling elements, as well as gastrointestinal appetite-regulatory hormone mRNAs and proteins. Together, results from this study offer the first set of evidence supporting the existence of FA sensing mechanisms n the fish GIT. Additionally, we detected several differences in FA sensing mechanisms of rainbow trout vs. mammals, which may suggest evolutionary divergence between fish and mammals.

AQUATIC TOXICOLOGY (AMSTERDAM, NETHERLANDS) 2022; 242:106006.

Abstract
Since the 1960s, chemical control of larval sea lamprey has been achieved using the pesticides 3-trifluoromethyl-4-nitrophenol (TFM) and niclosamide (Bayluscide®). Much more potent, niclosamide is often used as an adjuvant for TFM, and on its own to treat lentic habitats, rivers with high discharge and currents, and for population surveys. Yet, little is known about its mode of action or physiological effects on sea lamprey. Like TFM, niclosamide is thought to impair mitochondrial ATP production by uncoupling oxidative phosphorylation. We therefore tested the hypothesis that niclosamide would result in metabolic perturbations and disturbances to acid-base balance in larval lamprey due to their need to balance ATP supply with ATP demands. When larval sea lamprey were exposed to the nominal 9-h niclosamide LC50 (0.11 mg L-1) over 9 h, it resulted in significant decreases in brain, phosphocreatine (35 %) and glycogen (50 %), accompanied by a 5-fold increase in lactate. In carcass, there were 25-30 % decreases in glycogen, corresponding increases in pyruvate and lactate, and a pronounced 0.5 unit decrease in intracellular pH. Calculation of the NAD+/NADH ratio in the carcass indicated that neither oxygen delivery nor the flux of reducing equivalents through the mitochondrial electron transport chain were impaired by niclosamide, supporting the hypothesis that niclosamide interferes with mitochondrial ATP production by uncoupling oxidative phosphorylation. Thus, greater reliance on glycogen, characterized by higher rates of glycolysis, temporarily mitigates the corresponding shortfall in ATP supply caused by niclosamide. Notably, all lamprey that survived niclosamide exposure readily restored ATP, phosphocreatine, glycogen and acid-base balance after recovery in niclosamide-free water. This resilience suggests that sea lamprey that survive or escape niclosamide treatment could compromise sea lamprey control efforts by subsequently completing their larval stage and developing into parasitic juvenile sea lamprey that could ultimately threaten Great Lake's fisheries populations.

Abstract
Hypoxia and ammonia are unavoidable environmental factors in aquaculture, and have been shown cause various adverse effects in fish. In the present study, a two-factor crossover experiment was carried out to evaluate the combined effect of hypoxia and ammonia on oxidative stress and glucose metabolism endpoints in largemouth bass. The fish were divided into four experimental groups: hypoxia and ammonia group, hypoxia group, ammonia group, and control group. The results showed that hypoxia and ammonia exposures both induced antioxidant response and oxidative stress (superoxide dismutase [SOD] and catalase [CAT] activities increased first then decreased, and malondialdehyde accumulated) and anaerobic glycolysis (increase of blood glucose, decrease of liver glycogen, accumulation of lactate, and increased lactate dehydrogenase activity). In addition, hypoxia and ammonia upregulated antioxidant enzyme genes (Cu/ZnSOD, CAT, and GPx), apoptosis genes (caspase 3, caspase 8, and caspase 9), as well as inflammatory genes (interleukin [IL]-1β and IL-8) and downregulated an anti-inflammatory gene (IL-10), suggesting that apoptosis and inflammation may be related to oxidative stress. The increased expression of GLUT1, LDH, and MCT4 were induced by hypoxia and ammonia, suggesting that anaerobic glycolysis was increased. Furthermore, fish suffering from hypoxia or ammonia exposure showed some changes in gill tissues histology, and the most severe lesions of gill tissues appeared in simultaneous exposure. Overall, both hypoxia and ammonia affected homeostasis, and simultaneous exposure led to more deleterious effects on largemouth bass than exposure to the individual stressors.

Abstract
The milkfish Chanos chanos, an economically important cultured marine species in Southeast Asia, exhibits stenothermal and euryhaline characteristics and huge mortality usually occurs during extreme cold weather in winter. Under conditions beyond optimal temperatures, ectothermic species experience an increase in anaerobic glycolysis. To better understand the hypothermal acclimation response of this tropical species, the lactate metabolic profiles of freshwater (FW)- and seawater (SW)-acclimated milkfish were compared under control (optimal temperature; 28 °C) and hypothermal treatment (18 °C) conditions. In this study, the lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) isoform genes, ldha and ldhb, were identified in milkfish livers and muscles, respectively. The LDH is a bidirectional enzyme that triggered the conversion of pyruvate to lactate via anaerobic glycolysis as LDH exhibits the reductase activity (LDH-R), while via the reverse direction as LDH exhibits the oxidase activity (LDH-O). The hypothermal stress significantly upregulated the LDH-R activity in the muscles and the monocarboxylate transporter activity in both muscles and livers, of SW- and FW-acclimated milkfish. The levels of blood lactate, however, decreased in SW-acclimated milkfish. Under hypothermal stress, anaerobic metabolism increased in the muscles of both FW and SW individuals, whereas the liver of SW-acclimated milkfish showed better acute phase capacity to utilize blood lactate than FW-acclimated milkfish. Taken together, in the present study, the major functions of the bidirectional enzyme LDH were identified according to its LDH-O and LDH-R activities. Furthermore, environmental salinities were found to affect the acute anaerobic metabolic strategies of euryhaline teleosts under hypothermal stress and were correlated with their hypothermal tolerance ability.

Abstract
Pompe disease (PD) is an autosomal recessive muscular disorder caused by deficiency of the glycogen hydrolytic enzyme acid α-glucosidase (GAA). The enzyme replacement therapy, currently the only available therapy for PD patients, is efficacious in improving cardiomyopathy in the infantile form, but not equally effective in the late onset cases with involvement of skeletal muscle. Correction of the skeletal muscle phenotype has indeed been challenging, probably due to concomitant dysfunctional autophagy. The increasing attention to the pathogenic mechanisms of PD and the search of new therapeutic strategies prompted us to generate and characterize a novel transient PD model, using zebrafish. Our model presented increased glycogen content, markedly altered motor behavior and increased lysosome content, in addition to altered expression of the autophagy-related transcripts and proteins Beclin1, p62 and Lc3b. Furthermore, the model was used to assess the beneficial effects of 3-bromopyruvic acid (3-BrPA). Treatment with 3-BrPA induced amelioration of the model phenotypes regarding glycogen storage, motility behavior and autophagy-related transcripts and proteins. Our zebrafish PD model recapitulates most of the defects observed in human patients, proving to be a powerful translational model. Moreover, 3-BrPA unveiled to be a promising compound for treatment of conditions with glycogen accumulation.

Central Treatment of Ketone Body in Rainbow Trout Alters Liver Metabolism Without Apparently Altering the Regulation of Food Intake. Front Physiol 2019; 10:1206.

Abstract
We hypothesize that the presence in fish brain of a ketone body (KB) like β-hydroxybutyrate (BHB) alters energy homeostasis through effects on food intake and peripheral energy metabolism. Using rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) as a model, we intracerebroventricularly (ICV) administered 1 μl 100 g–1 body mass of saline solution alone (control) or containing 0.5 μmol of BHB. In a fist set of experiments, BHB did not affect food intake 6 and 24 h after treatment. In a second set of experiments, we evaluated 6 h after ICV BHB treatment changes in parameters putatively related to food intake control in brain areas (hypothalamus and hindbrain) involved in nutrient sensing and changes in energy metabolism in liver. The absence of changes in food intake might relate to the absence of major changes in the cascade of events from the detection of KB through ketone-sensing mechanisms, changes in transcription factors, and changes in the mRNA abundance of neuropeptides regulating food intake. This response is different than that of mammals. In contrast, central administration of BHB induced changes in liver energy metabolism suggesting a decreased use of glucose and probably an enhanced use of amino acid and lipid. These responses in liver are different to those of mammals under similar treatments but comparable to those occurring in fish under food deprivation conditions.

Abstract
To study adaptation of largemouth bass (Micropterus salmoides) to hypoxic stress, we investigated physiological responses and lactate metabolism of the fish under acute hypoxia. The objectives of this study were to (a) observe changes in glucose, glycogen, and lactate content; (b) detect the activity of lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) in serum, brain, heart, and liver tissues; and (c) quantify the dynamic gene expression of AMP activated protein kinase alpha (AMPKα), hypoxia-inducible factor-1 alpha (HIF-1α), monocarboxylate transporter 1 (MCT1), monocarboxylate transporter 4 (MCT4), and lactate dehydrogenase-a (LDHa) following exposure to hypoxia. The fish were subjected to two hypoxia stresses (dissolved oxygen [DO] 1.20 ± 0.2 mg/L and 3.50 ± 0.3 mg/L, respectively) for 24 h. Our results showed that hypoxic stress significantly increased the decomposition of liver glycogen and significantly increased the concentration of blood glucose; however, the muscle glycogen content was not significantly decreased, which indicates that liver glycogen was the main energy source under acute hypoxia. Moreover, hypoxia led to accumulation of a large amount of lactic acid in tissues, possibly due to the activity of lactic acid dehydrogenase, but this process was delayed in the heart and brain relative to the liver. Additionally, hypoxia induced the expression of AMPKα, HIF-1α, MCT1, MCT4, and LDHa, suggesting that glycometabolism had switched from aerobic to anaerobic. Our results contribute to a better understanding of the molecular mechanisms of the response to hypoxia in largemouth bass.

Abstract
We tested the hypothesis that the chronic residual effects of an acute exposure of European sea bass (Dicentrarchus labrax) to chemically dispersed crude oil is manifest in indices of hypoxic performance rather than aerobic performance. Sea bass were pre-screened with a hypoxia challenge test to establish their incipient lethal oxygen saturation (ILOS), but on discovering a wide breadth for individual ILOS values (2.6-11.0% O2 saturation), fish were subsequently subdivided into either hypoxia sensitive (HS) or hypoxia tolerant (HT) phenotypes, traits that were shown to be experimentally repeatable. The HT phenotype had a lower ILOS and critical oxygen saturation (O2crit) compared with the HS phenotype and switched to glycolytic metabolism at a lower dissolved oxygen, even though both phenotypes accumulated lactate and glucose to the same plasma concentrations at ILOS. As initially hypothesized, and regardless of the phenotype considered, we found no residual effect of oil on any of the indices of aerobic performance. Contrary to our hypothesis, however, oil exposure had no residual effect on any of the indices of hypoxic performance in the HS phenotype. In the HT phenotype, on the other hand, oil exposure had residual effects as illustrated by the impaired repeatability of hypoxia tolerance and also by the 24% increase in O2crit, the 40% increase in scope for oxygen deficit, the 17% increase in factorial scope for oxygen deficit and the 57% increase in accumulated oxygen deficit. Thus, sea bass with a HT phenotype remained chronically impaired for a minimum of 167days following an acute 24-h oil exposure while the HS phenotypes did not. We reasoned that impaired oxygen extraction at gill due to oil exposure activates glycolytic metabolism at a higher dissolved oxygen, conferring on the HT phenotype an inferior hypoxia resistance that might eventually compromise their ability to survive hypoxic episodes.

Abstract
Muscle performance depends on the supply of metabolic fuels and disposal of end-products. Using circulating metabolite concentrations to infer changes in fluxes is highly unreliable because the relationship between these parameters varies greatly with physiological state. Quantifying fuel kinetics directly is therefore crucial to the understanding of muscle metabolism. This review focuses on how carbohydrates, lipids and amino acids are provided to fish muscles during hypoxia and swimming. Both stresses force white muscle to produce lactate at higher rates than it can be processed by aerobic tissues. However, lactate accumulation is minimized because disposal is also strongly stimulated. Exogenous supply shows that trout have a much higher capacity to metabolize lactate than observed during hypoxia or intense swimming. The low density of monocarboxylate transporters and their lack of upregulation with exercise explain the phenomenon of white muscle lactate retention. This tissue operates as a quasi-closed system, where glycogen stores act as an 'energy spring' that alternates between explosive power release during swimming and slow recoil from lactate in situ during recovery. To cope with exogenous glucose, trout can completely suppress hepatic production and boost glucose disposal. Without these responses, glycemia would increase four times faster and reach dangerous levels. The capacity of salmonids for glucoregulation is therefore much better than presently described in the literature. Instead of albumin-bound fatty acids, fish use lipoproteins to shuttle energy from adipose tissue to working muscles during prolonged exercise. Proteins may play an important role in fueling muscle work in fish, but their exact contribution is yet to be established. The membrane pacemaker theory of metabolism accurately predicts general properties of muscle membranes such as unsaturation, but it does not explain allometric patterns of specific fatty acids. Investigations of metabolic fuel kinetics carried out in fish to date have demonstrated that these ectotherms use several unique strategies to orchestrate energy supply to working muscles and to survive hypoxia.

Abstract
Ongoing climate change is predicted to affect the distribution and abundance of aquatic ectotherms owing to increasing constraints on organismal physiology, in particular involving the metabolic scope (MS) available for performance and fitness. The oxygen- and capacity-limited thermal tolerance (OCLTT) hypothesis prescribes MS as an overarching benchmark for fitness-related performance and assumes that any anaerobic contribution within the MS is insignificant. The MS is typically derived from respirometry by subtracting standard metabolic rate from the maximal metabolic rate; however, the methodology rarely accounts for anaerobic metabolism within the MS. Using gilthead sea bream (Sparus aurata) and Trinidadian guppy (Poecilia reticulata), this study tested for trade-offs (i) between aerobic and anaerobic components of locomotor performance; and (ii) between the corresponding components of the MS. Data collection involved measuring oxygen consumption rate at increasing swimming speeds, using the gait transition from steady to unsteady (burst-assisted) swimming to detect the onset of anaerobic metabolism. Results provided evidence of the locomotor performance trade-off, but only in S. aurata. In contrast, both species revealed significant negative correlations between aerobic and anaerobic components of the MS, indicating a trade-off where both components of the MS cannot be optimized simultaneously. Importantly, the fraction of the MS influenced by anaerobic metabolism was on average 24.3 and 26.1% in S. aurata and P. reticulata, respectively. These data highlight the importance of taking anaerobic metabolism into account when assessing effects of environmental variation on the MS, because the fraction where anaerobic metabolism occurs is a poor indicator of sustainable aerobic performance. Our results suggest that without accounting for anaerobic metabolism within the MS, studies involving the OCLTT hypothesis could overestimate the metabolic scope available for sustainable activities and the ability of individuals and species to cope with climate change.

Abstract
Intense swimming causes circulatory lactate accumulation in rainbow trout because lactate disposal (Rd) is not stimulated as strongly as lactate appearance (Ra). This mismatch suggests that maximal Rd is limited by tissue capacity to metabolize lactate. This study uses exogenous lactate to investigate what constrains maximal Rd and minimal Ra. Our goals were to determine how exogenous lactate affects: 1) Ra and Rd of lactate under baseline conditions or during graded swimming, and 2) exercise performance (critical swimming speed, Ucrit) and energetics (cost of transport, COT). Results show that exogenous lactate allows swimming trout to boost maximal Rd lactate by 40% and reach impressive rates of 56 μmol·kg(-1)·min(-1). This shows that the metabolic capacity of tissues for lactate disposal is not responsible for setting the highest Rd normally observed after intense swimming. Baseline endogenous Ra (resting in normoxic water) is not significantly reduced by exogenous lactate supply. Therefore, trout have an obligatory need to produce lactate, either as a fuel for oxidative tissues and/or from organs relying on glycolysis. Exogenous lactate does not affect Ucrit or COT, probably because it acts as a substitute for glucose and lipids rather than extra fuel. We conclude that the observed 40% increase in Rd lactate is made possible by accelerating lactate entry into oxidative tissues via monocarboxylate transporters (MCTs). This observation together with the weak expression of MCTs and the phenomenon of white muscle lactate retention show that lactate metabolism of rainbow trout is significantly constrained by transmembrane transport.
