Abstract: | Swimming has relevant physiological changes in farmed fish, although the potential link between swimming and oxidative stress remains poorly studied. We investigated the effects of different medium-term moderate swimming conditions for 6 h on the antioxidant status of gilthead seabream (Sparus aurata), analyzing the activity of enzymes related to oxidative stress in the liver and skeletal red and white muscle. Forty fish were induced to swim individually with the following conditions: steady low (SL, 0.8 body length (BL)·s−1), steady high (SH, 2.3 BL·s−1), oscillating low (OL, 0.2–0.8 BL·s−1) and oscillating high (OH, 0.8–2.3 BL·s−1) velocities, and a non-exercised group with minimal water flow (MF, < 0.1 BL·s−1). All swimming conditions resulted in lower activities of superoxide dismutase (SOD), glutathione reductase (GR), and glutathione-S-transferase (GST) in the liver compared to the MF group, while steady swimming (SL and SH) led to higher reduced glutathione/oxidized glutathione ratio (GSH/GSSG) compared to the MF condition. Swimming also differently modulated the antioxidant enzyme activities in red and white muscles. The OH condition increased lipid peroxidation (LPO), catalase (CAT) and glutathione peroxidase (GPx) activities in the red muscle, decreasing the GSH/GSSG ratio, whereas the SL condition led to increased GSH. Oscillating swimming conditions (OL and OH) led to lower CAT activity in the white muscle, although GPx activity was increased. The GSH/GSSG ratio in white muscle was increased in all swimming conditions. Liver and skeletal muscle antioxidant status was modulated by exercise, highlighting the importance of adequate swimming conditions to minimize oxidative stress in gilthead seabream. |
