Different Starch Sources Affect the Growth Performance and Hepatic Health Status of Largemouth Bass ( Micropterus salmoides) in a High-Temperature Environment. Animals (Basel) 2023; 13:3808. [PMID: 38136845 PMCID: PMC10741064 DOI: 10.3390/ani13243808] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/05/2023] [Revised: 12/05/2023] [Accepted: 12/07/2023] [Indexed: 12/24/2023] Open
Abstract
The experiment was designed to investigate the effects of different starch types on the growth performance and liver health status of largemouth bass in a high-temperature environment (33-35 °C). In this study, we designed five diets using corn starch (CS), tapioca starch (TS), sweet potato starch (SPS), potato starch (PS), and wheat starch (WS) as the starch sources (10%). We selected 225 healthy and uniformly sized largemouth bass (199.6 ± 0.43 g) and conducted the feeding experiment for 45 days. The results showed that the WS group had the highest WGR, SGR, and SR and the lowest FCR. Among the five groups, the WS group had the highest CAT activity, SOD activity, and GSH content, while the SPS group had the highest MDA content. Furthermore, oil red O staining of liver samples showed that the TS group had the largest positive region, indicating high lipid accumulation. Lastly, the gene expression results revealed that compared with the WS group, the CS, TS, and SPS groups showed suppressed expression of nrf2, keap1, cat, sod, gpx, il-8, and il-10. Therefore, our results demonstrated the effect of different starch sources on largemouth bass growth performance and hepatic health in a high-temperature environment.

Yi C, Huang D, Yu H, Gu J, Liang H, Ren M. Enzymatically Hydrolyzed Poultry By-Product Supplementation, Instead of Fishmeal, Alone Improves the Quality of Largemouth Bass ( Micropterus salmoides) Back Muscle without Compromising Growth. Foods 2023; 12:3485. [PMID: 37761194 PMCID: PMC10529141 DOI: 10.3390/foods12183485] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/16/2023] [Revised: 09/17/2023] [Accepted: 09/18/2023] [Indexed: 09/29/2023] Open
Abstract
This study was designed to investigate the effects of enzymatically hydrolyzed poultry by-products (EHPB) on the growth and muscle quality of largemouth bass. Different concentrations of EHPB (0.00, 3.10, 6.20, 9.30, and 12.40%) were added to replace fishmeal (0.00 (control), 8.89 (EHPB1), 17.78 (EHPB2), 26.67 (EHPB3), and 35.56% (EHPB4)), respectively, in dietary supplementation. The results revealed that the growth performance and muscle amino acid and fatty acid remained unaltered in EHPB1 (p > 0.05). EHPB1 showed significant reduction in muscle hardness, gumminess, chewiness, and muscle fiber count and exhibited a significant increase in muscle fiber volume. The decrease in muscle hardness, gumminess, and chewiness means that the muscle can have a more tender texture. The expression of protein metabolism-related genes reached the highest levels in EHPB1 and EHPB2 (p < 0.05). The mRNA levels of s6k and igf-1 in EHPB2 and EHPB1 were significantly lower than those in the control group. Compared to the control group, the expression of muscle production-associated genes paxbp-1 was higher in EHPB1, and myod-1, myf-5, and syndecan-4 were higher in EHPB2. The mRNA levels of muscle atrophy-related genes, in EHPB4 and EHPB2, were significantly lower than those in the control group. Therefore, the EHPB1 group plays a role in promoting the expression of genes related to muscle formation. In summary, replacing 8.89% of fishmeal with EHPB in feed has no effect on growth and may improve back muscle quality in largemouth bass.

Vet Sci 2023; 10:501. [PMID: 37624288 PMCID: PMC10457755 DOI: 10.3390/vetsci10080501] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/03/2023] [Revised: 08/01/2023] [Accepted: 08/02/2023] [Indexed: 08/26/2023] Open
Abstract
The function of algae extract (AE) in fishmeal (FM) substitution with plant proteins in the diets of Gibel carp (Carrassius auratus gibeilo) was investigated during a 56-day trial. Diets 1 and 2 contained 10% FM, Diets 3 and 4 contained 5% FM, and Diet 5 and 6 contained 0% FM. In contrast, Diets 2, 4, and 6 were supplemented with 0.2% AE. The results showed that FM reduction inhibited growth performance, while AE supplementation alleviated growth inhibition. FM reduction significantly decreased the crude protein levels of the whole body, while the contents of whole-body lipids were significantly decreased with AE supplementation. There were no significant changes in ALB, ALP, ALT, AST, TP, GLU, GLU, and TC in plasma. FM reduction with AE supplementation mitigated the decrease in antioxidant capacity by heightening the activity of antioxidant enzymes and related gene expressions, which mitigated the decrease in immune capacity by affecting the expression of inflammatory factors. In summary, AE supplementation could alleviate the negative effects of FM reduction in Gibel carp.

Histidine Deficiency Inhibits Intestinal Antioxidant Capacity and Induces Intestinal Endoplasmic-Reticulum Stress, Inflammatory Response, Apoptosis, and Necroptosis in Largemouth Bass ( Micropterus salmoides). Antioxidants (Basel) 2022; 11:antiox11122399. [PMID: 36552607 PMCID: PMC9774248 DOI: 10.3390/antiox11122399] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/19/2022] [Revised: 11/12/2022] [Accepted: 11/29/2022] [Indexed: 12/12/2022] Open
Abstract
This 56-day study aimed to evaluate the effects of histidine levels on intestinal antioxidant capacity and endoplasmic-reticulum stress (ERS) in largemouth bass (Micropterus salmoides). The initial weights of the largemouth bass were (12.33 ± 0.01) g. They were fed six graded levels of histidine: 0.71% (deficient group), 0.89%, 1.08%, 1.26%, 1.48%, and 1.67%. The results showed that histidine deficiency significantly suppressed the intestinal antioxidant enzyme activities, including SOD, CAT, GPx, and intestinal level of GSH, which was supported by significantly higher levels of intestinal MDA. Moreover, histidine deficiency significantly lowered the mRNA level of nrf2 and upregulated the mRNA level of keap1, which further lowered the mRNA levels of the downstream genes sod, cat, and gpx. Additionally, histidine-deficiency-induced intestinal ERS, which was characterized by activating the PEPK-signalling pathway and IRE1-signalling pathway, including increased core gene expression of pepk, grp78, eif2α, atf4, chopα, ire1, xbp1, traf2, ask1, and jnk1. Dietary histidine deficiency also induced apoptosis and necroptosis in the intestine by upregulating the expressions of proapoptotic genes, including caspase 3, caspase 8, caspase 9, and bax, and necroptosis-related genes, including mlkl and ripk3, while also lowering the mRNA level of the antiapoptotic gene bcl-2. Furthermore, histidine deficiency activated the NF-κB-signalling pathway to induce an inflammatory response, improving the mRNA levels of the proinflammatory factors tnf-α, hepcidin 1, cox2, cd80, and cd83 and lowering the mRNA levels of the anti-inflammatory factors tgf-β1 and ikbα. Similarly, dietary histidine deficiency significantly lowered the intestinal levels of the anti-inflammatory factors TGF-β and IL-10 and upregulated the intestinal levels of the proinflammatory factor TNF-α, showing a trend similar to the gene expression of inflammatory factors. However, dietary histidine deficiency inhibited only the level of C3, and no significant effects were observed for IgM, IgG, HSP70, or IFN-γ. Based on the MDA and T-SOD results, the appropriate dietary histidine requirements of juvenile largemouth bass were 1.32% of the diet (2.81% dietary protein) and 1.47% of the diet (3.13% dietary protein), respectively, as determined by quadratic regression analysis.
