肌醇对氨氮应激下团头鲂幼鱼免疫的影响

为了研究氨氮应激下肌醇对团头鲂幼鱼免疫的影响,实验选择初均重为(3.40±0.07)g的健康团头鲂幼鱼450尾,随机分为6组,每组3个重复,分别投喂含肌醇0、101.2、202.3、404.8、809.1和1 616.4 mg/kg的精制饲料,实验期为90 d。结果表明:与对照组相比,氨氮应激前,404.8 mg/kg肌醇添加组显著提高了团头鲂幼鱼淋巴细胞百分比、补体3、补体4和血液呼吸爆发活性(P0.05);氨氮应激12 h,404.8和809.1 mg/kg肌醇添加组的血液白细胞、红细胞、淋巴细胞百分比、血红蛋白和血清补体3、补体4水平显著升高(P0.05),皮质醇水平显著降低(P0.05),202.3和404.8 mg/kg肌醇添加组的血细胞呼吸爆发活性显著提高(P0.05);氨氮应激72 h,404.8 mg/kg肌醇添加组的血液白细胞、红细胞、淋巴细胞百分比、血红蛋白、血清补体3和血细胞呼吸爆发活性显著升高(P0.05),皮质醇水平显著下降(P0.05),809.1 mg/kg肌醇添加组的血清补体4水平显著升高(P0.05)。研究表明,饲料中添加适量的肌醇(404.8 mg/kg)即可增强团头鲂幼鱼的免疫力,对团头鲂幼鱼抗氨氮应激起到了一定的保护作用。

急性低氧对团头鲂鳃组织氧化还原稳态及细胞凋亡的影响

为探究急性低氧对团头鲂(Megalobrama amblycephala)鳃组织氧化还原稳态及细胞凋亡的影响, 本研究通过测定超氧化物歧化酶(superoxide dismutases, SOD)、过氧化氢酶(catalases, CAT)活性及丙二醛(malondialdehyde, MDA)的含量, 检测急性低氧胁迫下鳃组织的氧化应激水平, 并采用 Hoechst 染色法观察了团头鲂鳃组织细胞的凋亡, 同时还利用 qRT-PCR 技术检测了团头鲂鳃组织中凋亡相关基因 Caspase 3、Caspase 8 的表达量。结果显示, 在溶解氧含量为(2.0±0.1) mg/L 的低氧环境下, 团头鲂鳃组织中 SOD、CAT 活性及 MDA 的含量均在 6 h、12 h 时显著增加(P＜0.05); 且 SOD 活性与 MDA 含量的变化趋势相同, 均呈上升趋势。此外, 随低氧胁迫时间的延长, 在 6、 12 及 24 h 时鳃组织细胞凋亡的平均荧光强度分别为 0 h 的 2.19 倍(P＜0.05)、2.32 倍(P＜0.05)及 2.59 倍(P＜0.05), 鳃组织中 Caspase 3 与 Caspase 8 基因表达水平均显著高于 0 h(P＜0.05)。研究表明, 团头鲂在急性低氧的水环境中会提高自身的氧化应激水平, 激活凋亡相关基因 Caspase 3、Caspase 8 的活性, 最终促使团头鲂鳃组织发生细胞凋亡。 本研究结果为急性低氧下团头鲂鳃组织的生理状态和细胞凋亡应答情况的研究提供参考。     

甘草次酸对团头鲂生长、脂肪沉积与抗氧化功能的影响

为探讨甘草次酸对团头鲂生长、脂肪沉积和抗氧化功能的影响,选取均体质量为(15.63±0.04)g的团头鲂幼鱼420尾,随机分在15个网箱中,分别以甘草次酸水平为0、0.15、0.30、0.45和0.60 g/kg的5种饲料投喂8周。结果发现,饲料添加甘草次酸对团头鲂增重率、特定生长率、饵料系数没有显著影响(P0.05)。甘草次酸可以显著降低实验鱼脏体比、肝体比、腹脂率及肝脏脂肪含量(P0.05),但对全鱼体组成和肌肉脂肪含量无显著影响(P0.05)。比对血浆脂肪代谢酶可见,0.30~0.60 g/kg甘草次酸添加组血浆总胆固醇含量较对照组显著下降(P0.05);而甘油三酯、游离脂肪酸和高密度脂蛋白胆固醇含量无显著变化(P0.05)。肝脏中脂蛋白酯酶、肝酯酶和总酯酶活性在添加甘草次酸后显著降低(P0.05);0.30~0.60 g/kg甘草次酸添加组脂肪酶活性显著高于其他各组(P0.05)。饲料添加甘草次酸可以显著提高肝脏超氧化物歧化酶活性和还原型谷胱甘肽含量,降低丙二醛含量(P0.05)。研究表明,饲料中添加0.30~0.45 g/kg甘草次酸时,显著降低了团头鲂内脏团的脂肪沉积,改善了鱼体脂肪分布,这可能是由于甘草次酸加强脂解作用,提高脂肪代谢酶活性导致的;饲料中添加甘草次酸也可显著提高团头鲂的抗氧化能力。

Effects of dietary linolenic acid on growth,fatty acid composition,immune function and antioxidant status of juvenile blunt snout bream,Megalobrama amblycephala

A nine‐week feeding trial was performed to determine the dietary linolenic acid (LNA; 18:3n–3) requirements of juvenile blunt snout bream. Six iso‐nitrogenous, semi‐purified diets were prepared with different concentrations of LNA (0–25 g/kg). Dietary LNA had no significant effects on survival rate. However, final fish weight, weight gain (WG), specific growth rate (SGR) and feed efficiency ratio (FER) increased with increasing dietary LNA concentrations up to 20 g/kg. Dietary LNA increased muscle LNA and total n‐3 polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA) contents, but decreased total saturated fatty acid content. Fish fed 20 g/kg LNA had the highest plasma alkaline phosphatase activity, total protein, albumin and white blood cell count levels. Additionally, fish fed 20 g/kg LNA had higher triglyceride levels than control fish. Plasma glucose increased with increasing dietary LNA concentrations. Superoxide dismutase and glutathione peroxidase activities significantly increased with increasing dietary LNA concentrations up to 15 g/kg. Based on SGR and FER, the optimal dietary LNA requirements of juvenile blunt snout bream were 17.5 and 15.6 g/kg respectively.

Alterations of liver histology and blood biochemistry in blunt snout bream Megalobrama amblycephala fed high-fat diets

In this study we examined the effects of high-fat diets on alterations in liver histology features and blood biochemistry parameters in blunt snout bream Megalobrama amblycephala. Fish were fed three diets containing 5, 10, and 15 % fat, respectively, for 6 weeks prior to the liver histology examination and blood biochemistry testing. The livers of fish fed the 5 % fat diet showed a normal structure, whereas those of the fish fed the diets with a higher fat content presented nucleus polarization and lipid vacuolization. Transmission electron microscopy examination revealed that the hepatocytes of fish fed the 15 % fat diet had undergone ultrastructural alterations involving the mitochondria, nucleus, and endoplasmic reticulum (ER). Alterations in the blood biochemistry were evaluated to determine whether the blood biochemistry changes could be correlated with the observed alterations in liver histology with the aim of assessing the suitability of the investigated blood parameters as rapid indicators of liver condition. Significantly higher levels of aspartate aminotransferase (AST) and alanine aminotransferase (ALT) activities and of triglycerides and cholesterol were found in fish fed the 15 % fat diet. On the whole, the results clearly show that high fat intake resulted in fat accumulation and ultrastructural impairments of the mitochondria, nucleus, and ER. We conclude that blood sample measurements (AST, ALT, triglycerides, and cholesterol) could be used as a rapid test for determining liver status in blunt snout bream.     

Effect of Stocking Density on Growth,Physiological Responses,and Body Composition of Juvenile Blunt Snout Bream,Megalobrama amblycephala

The impact of stocking density on growth performance, physiological indicators, and body composition of juvenile blunt snout bream in recirculating aquaculture system was investigated in this study. Juvenile blunt snout bream were raised at stocking densities of 75, 150, 225, 300, and 450 fish/m³ for 12 wk with three replicate tanks at each density. All treatment tanks were supplied with water from the same recirculating system to ensure uniformity of water quality across groups. This study has shown that higher stocking densities had a negative effect on individual growth performance. Final body mass, specific growth rate (SGR), and weight gain decreased significantly as stocking density increased. Individual body mass as well as body length were more uniform in fish stocked at densities of 75 and 150 fish/m³ than in other groups. Stocking densities of 225 and 300 fish/m³ resulted in significant increases in serum total protein, triglyceride, lactate, and cholesterol levels, whereas blood glucose concentrations decreased significantly. In addition, decreased body lipid content and increased body moisture content were observed at stocking densities of 300 and 450 fish/m³. Overall, a density of 150 fish/m³ resulted in higher SGR and more uniform size among juvenile blunt snout bream.     

Molecular characterization and identification of facilitative glucose transporter 2 (GLUT2) and its expression and of the related glycometabolism enzymes in response to different starch levels in blunt snout bream (<Emphasis Type="Italic">Megalobrama amblycephala</Emphasis>)

Facilitative glucose transporters (GLUT) are transmembrane transporters involved in glucose transport across the plasma membrane. In this study, blunt snout bream GLUT2 gene was cloned, and its expression in various tissues and in liver in response to diets with different carbohydrate levels (17.1; 21.8; 26.4; 32.0; 36.3; and 41.9% of dry matter). Blunt snout bream GLUT2 was also characterized. A full-length cDNA fragment of 2577 bp was cloned, which contains a 5′-untranslated region (UTR) of 73 bp, a 3′-UTR of 992 bp, and an open reading frame of 1512 bp that encodes a polypeptide of 503 amino acids with predicted molecular mass of 55.046 kDa and theoretical isoelectric point was 7.52. The predicted GLUT2 protein has 12 transmembrane domains between amino acid residues at 7–29; 71–93; 106–123; 133–155; 168–190; 195–217; 282–301; 316–338; 345–367; 377–399; 412–434; and 438–460. Besides, the conservative structure domains located at 12–477 amino acids belong to the sugar porter family which is the major facilitator superfamily (MFS) of transporters. Blunt snout bream GLUT2 had the high degree of sequence identity to four GLUT2s from zebrafish, chicken, human, and mouse, with 91, 63, 57, and 54% identity, respectively. Quantitative real-time (qRT) PCR assays revealed that GLUT2 expression was high in the liver, intestine, and kidney; highest in the liver and was regulated by carbohydrate intake. Compared with the control group (17.1%), fed by 3 h with higher starch levels (32.0; 36.3; and 41.9%), increased plasma glucose levels and glycemic level went back to basal by 24 h after treatment. Furthermore, higher dietary starch levels significantly increase GLUT2, glucokinase (GK), and pyruvate kinase (PK) expression and concurrently decrease phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase (PEPCK) and glucose-6-phosphatase (G6P) mRNA levels (P?<?0.05), and these changes were also back to basal levels after 24 h of any dietary treatment. These results indicate that the blunt snout bream is able to regulate their ability to metabolize glucose by improving GLUT2, GK, and PK expression levels and decreasing PEPCK and G6P expression levels.
