Maslinic acid (2-alpha, 3-beta-dihydroxiolean-12-en-28-oic acid) is a triterpenoid compound present in fruit and leaves of Olea europaea that can be used as an additive in the diet of trout. The present work investigates the effects of maslinic acid on growth, protein-turnover rates and nucleic acid concentration in trout white muscle. Five groups of 180 trout of a mean body mass of 20 g were fed for 225 days with diets containing 0, 1, 5, 25 and 250 mg of maslinic acid per kg of diet. At the end of the experiment, white-muscle weight and protein-accumulation rate of trout fed with maslinic acid were higher than in control. The total content of DNA, RNA, and protein in trout fed with 25 and 250 mg of maslinic acid kg(-1) were significantly higher than in control. The protein:DNA ratio was also slightly higher than control. In the same groups of trout, fractional (K(S)) and absolute (A(S)) protein-synthesis rates increased to more than 80% over the control values while no differences were found in the fractional protein-degradation rate (K(D)). These results, similar to previous findings in liver, show that maslinic acid can act as a growth factor when added to a standard trout diet. 相似文献

A semi-purified test diet which contained either glutamic acid or glycine as the major source of nonessential amino acids (NEAA) was fed to lake and rainbow trout. Trout fed the diet containing glutamic acid consistently showed better growth and feed conversion efficiencies than those fed the diets containing glycine. The data indicate that these trout utilize glutamic acid more efficiently than glycine when no other major sources of NEAA are present. 相似文献

The effects of an extract of Daisaikoto (a traditional Chinese medicine) on biliary constituents was studied in mice fed with a lithogenic diet containing 0.5% cholesterol and 0.25% sodium cholate (the control diet) and in rats fed with a cholesterol-free diet. The Daisaikoto extract was added to the control diet at a level of 0.5%. A high incidence of cholesterol gallstones were found in the control mice, but not in the mice given the Daisaikoto extract. This difference was concluded to have been due to the absolute concentration of bile acid in the bile being significantly higher in the mice given the Daisaikoto extract than in the control mice. The result from rats fed with the cholesterol-free diet also demonstrated that the Daisaikoto extract caused an increase in the absolute concentration of bile acid in the bile. 相似文献

During four successive periods of 9 days each, adult rats were fed alternatively fresh or hermopolymerized linseed oil in their diet. As compared to the control animals, the rats fed with the thermopolymerized oil showed increased urinary glucuronide excretion and higher liver weight, as well as a rise in the cyclic monomer content in that organ and, to a lesser degree, in the fat tissue. When fresh oil was substituted for heated oil in the diet, these animals recovered the levels of urinary glucuronides and liver monomers observed in the control rats. On the contrary, the rise in liver weight still observed can be considered as an indication of diet toxicity. 相似文献

Maslinic acid is a triterpene present in a considerable proportion in solid residues from olive-oil production. In the present work the effects of maslinic acid on growth, protein-turnover rates and nucleic-acid concentration on liver were investigated in the rainbow trout. Five groups of 120 fish of a mean body mass of 20 g were fed for 225 days with diets containing 0, 1, 5, 25 and 250 mg of maslinic acid per kg diet. At the end of the experiment, whole-body and liver weight and growth rate of trout fed with maslinic acid were higher than controls. The highest weight increase was registered for the group fed 250 mg kg(-1), representing a 29% increase over controls. The total hepatic DNA or liver cell hyperplasia levels in trout fed with 25 and 250 mg of maslinic acid kg(-1) were 37% and 68% higher than controls. Also in these same groups of trout, fractional and absolute hepatic protein-synthesis rates were significantly higher than in control, and significant increments in hepatic protein-synthesis efficiency and protein-synthesis capacity were reported. In close agreement with these results, microscopy studies showed that trout fed on 25 and 250 mg kg(-1) hepatocytes appeared to be more compact, with a larger rough-endoplasmic reticulum and larger glycogen stores than controls. These results suggest that maslinic acid can act as a growth factor when added to trout diet. 相似文献

Natural substances are now generally preferred over chemical and synthetic compounds for the growth and immune enhancement of aquatic organisms. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of Saccharomyces cerevisiae extract and hydrolyzed powder on immunity, hematological parameters and body composition in rainbow trout, Oncorhynchus mykiss. Six hundred rainbow trout (50 ± 5 g mean weight) were acclimated to laboratory conditions and then randomly divided into four groups of triplicate tanks. The first group was fed with a commercial diet (control) without supplementation. The second and third groups were given a diet supplemented with 1% of yeast extract and hydrolyzed powder, respectively. The fourth group was also fed with a basal diet supplemented with 0.5% of both substances. Fish were cultured in 300‐L polyethylene tanks for 60 days; immune and hematological parameters, fillet composition and disease resistance were analyzed at days 0, 30 and 60. Results showed that a combination of Saccharomyces cerevisiae extract and hydrolyzed powder could improve the immunity and alter hematological parameters of the rainbow trout compared to the control. Mortality rates of fish fed yeast extract and hydrolyzed powder were also lower than in fish fed the control diet after challenging with Yersinia ruckeri. There were no significant changes in rainbow trout fillet composition compared to the control. It can be concluded that fish diet supplementation with a mixture of yeast extract hydrolyzed powder is preferable compared to each one used alone. 相似文献

Diets were computed to contain equal concentrations of digestible crude protein either of wheat gluten (diet 1) or of grieves (diets 2–8). Per kg dry diet, 41 g crystalline amino acids were supplemented. All diets contained at least 1.2 g Lys per MJ digestible energy (DE). In diet 2, ratios of Met + Cys, Trp, Leu, Ile and Phe to Lys were about equal to those in diet 1. In each of diets 3–7, one of the respective amino acids, in diet 8 all five were replaced by Glu in the supplemented mixture of amino acids. Each diet was fed to triplciate groups of 20 trout during a trial lasting 66 days. Trout fed the diet containing wheat gluten consumed more dry matter and showed higher growth rates as well as higher protein contents in their gained body mass than trout fed diets based on grieves. Supplementing Met plus Trp significantly improved dry matter intake, growth rate and protein content of gain, though not to the level of trout fed the wheat gluten diet, whereas Leu, Ile and Phe showed no such effect. When grieves were not supplemented with both Met and Trp, gain in body mass contained significantly more lipids. DE required per kg gain by trout fed wheat gluten, grieves + Met + Trp or grieves without supplementation of Met and Trp was 20.1, 21.2 and 29.9 MJ, respectively. 相似文献

Accumulation of hydrophobic bile acids during cholestasis leads to generation of oxygen free radicals in the liver. Accordingly, this study investigated whether polyphenols from green tea Camellia sinenesis, which are potent free radical scavengers, decrease hepatic injury caused by experimental cholestasis. Rats were fed a standard chow or a diet containing 0.1% polyphenolic extracts from C. sinenesis starting 3 days before bile duct ligation. After bile duct ligation, serum alanine transaminase increased to 760 U/l after 1 day in rats fed a control diet. Focal necrosis and bile duct proliferation were also observed after 1-2 days, and fibrosis developed 2-3 wk after bile duct ligation. Additionally, procollagen-alpha1(I) mRNA increased 30-fold 3 wk after bile duct ligation, accompanied by increased expression of alpha-smooth muscle actin and transforming growth factor-beta and the accumulation of 4-hydroxynenonal, an end product of lipid peroxidation. Polyphenol feeding blocked or blunted all of these bile duct ligation-dependent changes by 45-73%. Together, the results indicate that cholestasis due to bile duct ligation causes liver injury by mechanisms involving oxidative stress. Polyphenols from C. sinenesis scavenge oxygen radicals and prevent activation of stellate cells, thereby minimizing liver fibrosis. 相似文献

The effects of chronic exposure to waterborne Cd and elevated dietary Ca, alone and in combination, were examined in juvenile rainbow trout, Oncorhynchusmykiss. Fish were chronically exposed to 0.05 (control) or 2.56 μg/l Cd [as Cd(NO3)2·4H2O] and were fed 2% body mass/day of control (29.6 mg Ca/g) or Ca-supplemented trout food (52.8 mg Ca/g as CaCl2·2H2O). Cd accumulated mainly in gill, liver, and kidney. Waterborne Cd inhibited unidirectional Ca uptake from water into the gill and induced hypocalcemia in the plasma on day 40. Waterborne Cd also induced an elevated Ca concentration on day 20 in the gill tissue of trout fed the Ca-supplemented diet and a decreased Ca concentration on day 35 in the gills of trout fed the control diet. Dietary Ca protected against Cd accumulation in gill, liver, and kidney, but did not protect against the inhibition of Ca uptake into the gill or plasma hypocalcemia. When fed Ca-supplemented diet and exposed to waterborne Cd, fish showed 35% mortality, compared to 0–2% in control fish and in the Cd-exposed fish with normal Ca in the diet. Growth, on the other hand, was not affected by any treatment. 相似文献

Mozambique tilapia, (Oreochromis mossambicus), are a euryhaline teleost and an important biological model species. Captive male tilapia frequently have high levels of the estrogen-induced yolk precursor protein vitellogenin (Vg), a common indicator of exposure to estrogenic compounds. Sex steroids are found in commercial fish diets, but relatively few studies have examined the relationship between commercial diets and Vg production. In a fasting experiment to ascertain a dietary role in male Vg production, plasma Vg was reduced to negligible levels after 2 weeks of fasting, while no change in estrogen receptor (ER) expression was seen. When male tilapia were fed a squid-based diet that replaced the commercial trout diet, plasma Vg was reduced to undetectable levels over 40 days, concomitant with significant reductions in hepatic expression of Vgs A, B, and C, and ERβ, compared with control fish fed commercial trout diet. Female tilapia fed the squid-based for 20 days had no change in these parameters. When male tilapia were fed a defined, soy-based diet, plasma Vg reduced to 20% of levels in fish given either commercial trout diet or a defined, fishmeal-based diet. Overall, results from these studies suggest that estrogens in a commercial trout diet induce vitellogenin production by increasing expression of Vg, but not ER genes in male tilapia. 相似文献

The effect of a freshwater clam (Corbicula fluminea) extract (FCE) on cholesterol metabolism in rats fed on a high-cholesterol diet was investigated. When rats were fed various amounts of FCE in addition to the high-cholesterol diet for 2 wk, the serum and hepatic cholesterol levels were gradually reduced in a dose-dependent manner, as compared with the control group. The excretion of neutral sterols and bile acids into the feces was increased by feeding FCE. Several phytosterols were detected in the feces of rats fed on the FCE-containing diet. In addition, substantial amounts of phytosterols were found in FCE. Cholesterol 7alpha-hydroxylase (CYP7A1) mRNA in the liver of the rats fed on the FCE-containing diets was higher than that of rats fed on the high-cholesterol diets without FCE. These results may suggest that enhanced cholesterol degradation and the excretion of neutral sterols and bile acids contributed to the hypocholesterolemic effect of FCE observed in the hypercholesterolemic rats fed on the high-cholesterol diet. 相似文献

The effects of dietary whole cell yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae), n-3 HUFA-enriched yeast and treated yeast cells with beta-mercapto-ethanol (2ME) on immunity, growth performance and disease resistance to Yersinia ruckeri were investigated in Oncorhynchus mykiss. During 30 days, juvenile rainbow trout were fed diets supplemented with different forms of yeast at 5 × 10(7) CFU g(-1) or a control diet. After the feeding trial, remaining fish of each treatment were challenged by pathogenic Yersinia ruckeri and kept under observation for 14 days to record clinical signs and daily mortality rate. Yeast supplementation in all treatment groups significantly promoted the growth performance compared to control group. A significantly increase was also observed in immune responses in juvenile fish fed 2ME-treated yeast diet. More ever, the lowest fish mortality was obtained in this treatment group. The present results show that a diet supplemented with 2ME-treated yeast stimulates the immune system and growth of juvenile rainbow trout thus enhancing their resistance against Y. ruckeri. 相似文献

Dietary vitamin E and rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) phagocyte functions: effect on gut and on head kidney leucocytes 总被引:8,自引:0,他引:8
The effects of vitamin E (deficiency or supplementation) on the non-specific immune system in rainbow trout, Oncorhynchus mykiss, were evaluated. Rainbow trout were fed daily a semi-purified diet supplemented with vitamin E at 0, 28 and 295 mg x kg(-1) of diet. After 80 days of experimental feeding, the phagocytic function (respiratory burst evaluated by the CL response, phagocytosis) from gut leucocytes and head kidney enriched macrophages was measured; head kidney cell pinocytosis and serum lysozyme activity were also analysed. The results showed that some phagocyte functions were influenced by dietary vitamin E. When fish were fed the high dietary dose of vitamin E an enhancement of phagocytosis was found, but only significantly for the leucocytes isolated from the gut of rainbow trout; moreover, an impaired response was also observed in the fish fed no vitamin E for 80 days. However, no significant differences were noticed on the oxidative burst (CL) response of both gut and head kidney cells according to the dietary dose of vitamin E. Pinocytosis evaluated on head kidney cells was not influenced by dietary vitamin E. Fish fed vitamin E at 295 mg x kg(-1) had a lower serum lysozyme activity than those fed with vitamin E at 28 mg x kg(-1) and the fish fed no vitamin E for 80 days had an impaired activity. Thus, the present results demonstrate that altered dietary levels of vitamin E modulates the phagocytic functions of gut leucocytes in rainbow trout; moreover, the vitamin E diet effect seems to be greater on the local intestinal response as compared to systemic (head kidney). Taken together, this study confirms the crucial role of gut phagocytes in mucosal non-lymphoid defences in fish. 相似文献

Kittens were adapted to a semipurified diet and then fed either a control diet that contained 0.1% taurine or a taurine-free diet for 6 weeks; at the end of the feeding period, kittens fed the taurine-free diet had plasma and liver taurine concentrations that were 0.38 and 0.15%, respectively, of those for control kittens. Hepatic cysteinesulfinate decarboxylase activity in taurine-deficient kittens was five-times the level in control kittens, but hepatic cysteine dioxygenase activity was not affected by the dietary treatment. Taurine-conjugated bile acids made up 98% of the total bile acids in the gall bladder of control kittens, but they accounted for only 44% of the total bile acids in the bile of taurine-depleted kittens; both the concentrations of taurine-conjugated bile acids and total bile acids were markedly decreased in taurine-deficient kittens. No effect of taurine depletion on the fractional excretion of taurine in the urine was observed. The kitten may have some mechanisms for adapting to a low-taurine diet, but these are clearly not sufficient to maintain tissue taurine levels in the absence of dietary taurine. 相似文献

The biotransformation of single acute oral doses of acetaminophen (100 mg/kg body weight) in adult male guinea pigs was studied by collecting serial blood, urine, and bile samples post-treatment and identifying and quantitating the concentrations of parent drug and excretory products by high performance liquid chromatography. The plasma half-life (beta t/2) (mean +/- SD) of acetaminophen was 1.87 +/- 0.30 h, while that of the only metabolite detected in plasma, the glucuronide, was 2.41 +/- 0.64 h. In 24-h urine samples, the predominant product was the glucuronide (90%) with a small amount of the sulphate conjugate (7.0%) and approximately 3.0% acetaminophen. In bile, the glucuronide was the major metabolite detected initially but, with time, this product decreased concomitantly with an increase in the cysteinyl conjugate. No sulphate was detected in bile but two unidentified metabolites were detected, having distinct column retention times and comprising approximately 6-10% of the total excretory products. The results demonstrated that glucuronidation is a high capacity biotransformation pathway for acetaminophen in this species, only small amounts of other conjugated products being detectable under usual circumstances. 相似文献

Food resource partitioning between similar‐sized, sympatric Atlantic salmon Salmo salar and brook trout Salvelinus fontinalis was examined as a possible mechanism enabling their coexistence in a stream (Allaire) of the Sainte‐Marguerite River ecosystem, Quebec, Canada. Fish stomach contents and invertebrate drift were collected concurrently during three diel cycles in August to September 1996. The food and feeding habits of an allopatric brook trout population in a nearby stream (Epinette) were studied for comparison. The diel feeding rhythms of the two coexisting fish species were similar. The composition of their diet, however, showed significant differences. Atlantic salmon predominantly (60–90%) fed on aquatic insects, mainly Ephemeroptera (35–60% of the diet). The brook trout mostly (50–80%) fed upon the allochthonous terrestrial insects (mainly adults of Coleoptera, Hymenoptera and Diptera) which comprised 5–40% of the stream drift. The allopatric brook trout fed opportunistically on the more abundant aquatic insects and terrestrial insects rarely formed 25% of its diet. The allopatric trout fed nearly twice as much as the sympatric brook trout during a day. The results suggest that the differences in feeding by brook trout in the two streams (with and without Atlantic salmon) are the result of inter‐specific interaction with Atlantic salmon and are not related to the differences in food availability between the two streams. Food resource partitioning between Atlantic salmon and brook trout may be viewed as an adaptive response resulting in a greater exploitation of available resources and coexistence. 相似文献

The effects of dietary Ergosan on the growth performance and mucosal immunity in rainbow trout skin were investigated. 60 rainbow trout (100-110 g) were randomly assigned to 2 groups in triplicates and fed one of the experimental diet formulated with 5 g kg−1 Ergosan or control diet for 50 days. Results showed that on the 45th day of feeding trial, Ergosan supplementation significantly enhanced the growth performance compared to control group. Various enzyme activities, namely lysozyme, protease, alkaline phosphatase and esterase in treatment group were also enhanced on the 45th and 50th day. Skin mucus in Ergosan-fed fish showed the agglutination of erythrocytes while in control group, no visible agglutination was shown. In addition, skin mucus in treatment group showed strong antibacterial activity against Yersinia ruckeri. In conclusion, the major immune components of rainbow trout mucus that are involved in the non-specific immunity were enhanced by administration of Ergosan in 5 g kg−1. 相似文献

1. Young rats with cannulated bile ducts were given 0.34mg. of [1alpha-(3)H]cholecalciferol or 0.54mg. of [(14)C]ergocalciferol by intravenous infusion. Of the radioactivity in the dose of [1alpha-(3)H]cholecalciferol 31% was recovered in bile within 24hr. 2. The metabolites in bile were separated by gradient-elution column chromatography on silicic acid into five components, all more polar than cholecalciferol or 25-hydroxycholecalciferol. [(14)C]Ergocalciferol gave a similar pattern of metabolites in bile. 3. The three most polar metabolites were shown to be ionic. The major component has been identified as a glucuronide conjugate, which was not identical with synthetic cholecalciferyl glucuronide. 相似文献

Introduced mammalian predators may pose a high risk for native and naïve prey populations, but little is known about how native fish species may recognize and respond to scents from introduced mammalian predators. We investigated the role of diet‐released chemical cues in facilitating predator recognition, hypothesizing that native brown trout (Salmo trutta) would exhibit antipredator behaviours to faeces scents from the introduced American mink (Neovision vison) fed conspecifics, but not to non‐trout diets. In treatments‐control and replicate stream tank experiments, brown trout showed significant antipredator responses to faeces scent from mink fed conspecifics, but not to faeces scent from mink fed a non‐trout diet (chicken), or the non‐predator food control, Eurasian beaver (Castor fiber). We conclude that native and naïve brown trout show relevant antipredator behaviours to an introduced mammalian predator, presumably based on diet‐released conspecific alarm cues and thereby estimate the predation risk. 相似文献
