喹乙醇对鲤肝胰脏抗氧化酶系统的影响

用含不同剂量喹乙醇(0～3200mg·kg-1)的饲料饲喂鲤,分别对鲤在摄食3、6、9和12周时肝胰脏中超氧化物歧化酶(SOD)、谷胱甘肽过氧化物酶(GSH px)等抗氧化酶活性、脂质过氧化物丙二醛(MDA)含量及总抗氧化能力(T AOC)进行了测定。结果表明,SOD活性随饲料喹乙醇剂量的升高总体上呈升高的趋势,试验时间对各个处理组的SOD酶活性影响不大。饲料中喹乙醇对GSH px活性的影响较小,其剂量达1600mg·kg-1以上时GSH-px酶活性变化明显,主要表现为诱导效应。饲料中喹乙醇剂量的改变大体上不对MDA含量产生影响,且随时间的延长,除3200mg·kg-1组外,其余各实验组的MDA含量都有所降低。随喹乙醇剂量的增加和实验时间的延长,T AOC均呈现降低的趋势,其中以1600和3200mg·kg-1组的下降幅度最大。结果提示,高剂量下喹乙醇对抗氧化酶活性影响较大,并伴随着机体抗氧化能力的减弱。     

Effects of dietary histidine on antioxidant capacity in juvenile Jian carp (Cyprinus carpio var. Jian)

In the present study, we tested the hypothesis that dietary histidine could improve antioxidant capacity of juvenile Jian carp (Cyprinus carpio var. Jian). A total of 1,200 juvenile Jian carp were fed graded levels of histidine at 2.3 (unsupplemented control), 4.4, 6.3, 8.6, 10.8 and 12.7 g/kg diet for 60 days. Results showed that the content of malondialdehyde (MDA) and protein carbonyl (PC) in serum and all tissues apparently decreased with increasing histidine levels up to an optimal level and increased thereafter. Anti-superoxide anion (ASA) capacity, glutathione peroxidase (GPX) activities and glutathione (GSH) content in serum and all tissues, anti-hydroxyl radical (a-HR) capacity, catalase (CAT) and glutathione-S-transferase (GST) activities in serum, muscle and intestine, superoxide dismutase (SOD) activities in serum and intestine, as well as glutathione reductase (GR) activity in serum, muscle and hepatopancreas were improved by dietary histidine. Fish fed diet with 8.6 g/kg histidine had lower serum glutamate-pyruvate transaminase (GPT) activity than that fed with control diet, whereas pattern of glutamate–oxaloacetate transaminase (GOT) activity was opposite. The present results suggested that histidine could improve antioxidant capacity and inhibit lipid peroxidation and protein oxidation of juvenile Jian carp.     

Effects of dietary myrcene administration on antioxidant gene responses in common carp (Cyprinus carpio), exposed to copper sulphate

In the present study, common carp (Cyprinus carpio) were fed with diet supplemented with 0% (M0) or 0.5% (M0.5) myrcene for 6 week and exposed to ambient copper (0.2 mg/L) for further 2 weeks. Gene expressions of superoxide dismutase (sod), catalase (cat), glutathione peroxidase (gpx), glutathione reductase (gr) and glutathione S‐transferase (gst) were assayed in the fish brain and kidney, and thiobarbituric reactive substance (TBARS) levels were determined in blood plasma. The results showed that there was no significant difference in TBARS levels between the M0 and M0.5 treatments, before the copper exposure; however, the M0 had significantly higher TBARS levels compared to the M0.5, after the copper exposure. The antioxidant genes showed different patterns in the fish brain and kidney. The genes were up‐regulated in the fish brain by dietary myrcene and copper exposure. However, in the fish kidney, the M0.5 treatment showed no change in sod, cat, gpx before and after the copper exposure. The results suggest that myrcene is capable to induce antioxidant enzymes that prepare the fish for a further oxidative condition (i.e. copper exposure). Dietary myrcene at 0.5% level is suggested for common carp before treatment with copper sulphate.     

The pathology of selenium deficiency in Cyprinus carpio L

Selenium is essential for the normal life processes, and all animals, including fish, need this inorganic element. In order to research the pathology of selenium deficiency in common carp, Cyprinus carpio L., 360 juvenile carp were allocated to three treatments. Each treatment containing 120 fish was randomly divided into four groups, fed with purified diets containing selenium at 0, 0.15, 0.30 and 0.45 mg kg^?1. The results indicated that the morbidity and mortality rates of the test groups were negatively correlated with the level of selenium in the diets. The morbidity and mortality rates were, respectively, 46.7%, 33.3%, 13.3%, 0 and 26.7% 16.7%, 6.7%, 0. The affected fish exhibited pathological changes, such as ‘thin back disease’ and lordosis. Histologically, there was no abnormality observed in muscles, liver and pancreas. Ultrastructurally, there was swelling of the mitochondria of the cardiac muscle cells, the liver cells and renal tubular epithelial cells, with disintegration and lysis of the cristae of the mitochondria which vesiculated. Serum glutamic oxaloacetic transaminase and glutamic pyruvic transaminase levels were increased and the activity of the serum glutathione peroxidase and the serum superoxide dismutase was decreased; in contrast, the serum malonaldehyde concentration was increased.     

镉对鲤遗传毒性和外周血细胞数量的影响

将鲤(Cyprinus carpio)分别暴露于0.16、0.31、0.63、1.26 mg/L Cd2+溶液中,研究Cd2+对鲤外周血红细胞微核率、核异常率、红细胞和白细胞数量的影响,探讨Cd2+对鲤遗传毒性和外周血细胞数量影响的变化规律和趋势。结果显示:Cd2+对鲤红细胞微核率和核异常率的影响存在浓度-效应和时间-效应关系。与对照组相比,1.26 mg/L Cd2+组鲤在不同暴露时间的红细胞微核率和核异常率均极显著(P<0.01),核异常率在72 h显著(P<0.05)增加,72 h后表现为极显著(P<0.01)增加。Cd2+对鲤外周血淋巴细胞、单核细胞和嗜中性粒细胞比例的影响存在浓度-效应和时间-效应关系。相同Cd2+浓度下,鲤淋巴细胞比例随暴露时间增加先降低后上升,同一暴露时间淋巴细胞比例随Cd2+浓度增加而降低。相同Cd2+浓度下,鲤单核细胞和嗜中性粒细胞比例随暴露时间增加先升高后降低,同一暴露时间嗜中性粒细胞比例随Cd2+浓度增加而升高。研究表明,Cd2+对鲤具有遗传毒性效应,且随Cd2+浓度增加而增强。     

三氯生对雄性黄河鲤抗氧化和生长相关基因mRNA表达量的影响

为探讨三氯生(TCS)对鱼类非特异性免疫及生长因子的影响,实验通过半静态水质接触染毒法对雄性黄河鲤(Cyprinus carpio)进行处理,设置对照组和三个不同浓度TCS处理组(0.04、0.08、0.16 mg/L),暴露42 d后,采用实时荧光定量PCR(RT-q PCR)法检测各组雄性黄河鲤肝胰脏中谷胱甘肽还原酶(GSR)、谷胱甘肽-S-转移酶-A(GSTA)、谷胱甘肽过氧化物酶(GPx)、促生长素(GH)及其促生长因子(IGF-1)mRNA相对表达量。结果显示:各浓度TCS暴露组的肝胰脏中GSR、GSTA及GH mRNA表达量显著下降,GPxmRNA表达量仅在0.08 mg/L的TCS处理组显著性降低;而IGF-1 mRNA表达量在TCS各处理组显著性升高(P0.05)。结果表明,TCS能够干扰雄性黄河鲤抗氧化酶及生长相关基因的mRNA表达。     

鲤硒缺乏的病理学

将健康幼鲤360尾设置3个相同平行处理,每个处理用鱼120尾,随机分为四组,分别投以0、0.15、0.30和0.45 mg/kg硒水平的饲料,各试验组的发病率和死亡率与日粮中硒含量高低呈负相关,其发病率分别为46.7%、33.3%、13.3%和0%,死亡率分别为26.7%、16.7%、6.7%和0%.病鱼出现特征性的瘦背症和脊柱弯曲等症状.组织学上最突出的变化表现为营养性肌病、营养性肝病、胰腺的变性、坏死等多器官组织的退行性变化.超微结构上,骨骼肌纤维、肝细胞和肾小管上皮细胞线粒体肿胀,嵴断裂,甚至发生溶解,整个线粒体呈囊泡状.硒缺乏幼鲤血液中谷草转氨酶(AST)、谷丙转氨酶(ALT)活性升高,谷胱甘肽过氧化物酶(GSH-Px)、过氧化物歧化酶(SOD)活性降低,丙二醛(MDA)含量升高.     

Augmenting fish health using Emblica officinalis against triarylmethane dye induced blood toxicity in Cyprinus carpio

Blood is a sensitive bioindicator of stress observed by organisms in response to toxicants. Erythrocytic morphological abnormalities serve as a reliable determinant of fish health. Malachite green, a multifunctional dye was assessed for toxicity in Cyprinus carpio. Dye‐induced blood toxicity has been determined through biochemical and ultra structural endpoints at 15, 30 and 60 days in the fish. Further, an attempt has been made to combat the adverse effects of the toxicant through supplementation with Emblica officinalis. Electron microscopic study depicted erythrocytic remodelling in form of surface blebbing, lobopodial projections and shrinkage; appearance of crenate, acanthocytes, echinocytes, dacrocytes, spherocytes and rhomboidal cells. Hepatic marker enzymes showed significantly (p < 0.05) elevated levels of biomarker enzymes, alkaline phosphatase, serum glutamate oxaloacetate transaminase and serum glutamate pyruvate transaminase. Contrarily feeding with E. officinalis extract (1,000 mg/kg feed) significantly attenuated biochemical and morphological alterations, indicating the protective efficacy of E. officinalis. Both toxicity and attenuation observed were in exposure‐dependent manner.     

饲料蛋白水平对鲤幼鱼肝功能和抗氧化能力的影响

研究了不同蛋白水平饲料对鲤(Cyprinus carpio)幼鱼肝功能和抗氧化能力的影响。选用体质量为(10±1.2)g的健康鲤幼鱼,随机分为5组,每组设3个重复,每个重复35尾鱼。放养在15个规格相同的白色水箱中,分别投喂蛋白水平为30%、30.5%、31%、31.5%和32%的饲料(分别记作Diet 1、Diet 2、Diet 3、Diet 4和Diet5),饲养实验时间为8周,每隔4周对相关生理生化指标进行测定。结果表明,养殖第4和第8周时,31%蛋白水平组血清和肝胰脏的谷丙转氨酶(ALT)和谷草转氨酶(AST)活性均显著降低(P0.05);血清、肝胰脏和肾脏中超氧化物歧化酶(SOD)、过氧化氢酶(CAT)和溶菌酶(LZM)活性升高(P0.05),丙二醛(MDA)浓度显著降低(P0.05)。根据实验结果,从饲料配制的成本考虑,31%蛋白水平饲料能够达到维持鲤幼鱼机体正常的抗氧化能力以及保护肝功能的营养需求。     

棉酚对鲤鱼急性中毒的研究

鲤鱼（体重约16克）腹腔注射乙酸棉酚0，7．3，54，100，200，400mg/kg体重，经四天（96小时）后，死亡率分别是0，0，20％，70％，90％，100％。96小时半数致死剂量是63．6mg/kg体重。注射剂量高于54mg/kg体重时，发生腹腔红肿、体壁溃烂，甚至死亡。实验结果说明虽然棉籽水平的棉酚不引起鲤鱼的任何可见的中毒症状，但是腹腔注射大剂量棉酚可引起与哺乳类相似的中毒症状。     

Effects of different dietary selenium sources (sodium selenite,selenomethionine and nanoselenium) on growth performance,muscle composition,blood enzymes and antioxidant status of common carp (Cyprinus carpio)

This experiment was conducted to compare the effects of different sources of selenium (Se) on growth, muscle Se concentration, muscle proximate composition, blood enzymes and antioxidant status of common carp, Cyprinus carpio. Organic Se (selenomethionine, SeMet), inorganic Se (sodium selenite, Na₂SeO₃), or nanoselenium were each added to the basal diet at 0.7 mg Se kg^?1 diet. Four groups of fish with an average weight of 9.69 ± 0.12 g were fed one of the experimental diets for 8 weeks. Nano‐Se diet resulted in better growth performance (P < 0.05). Fish fed with Se‐supplemented diets showed a higher (P < 0.05) Se content in the muscle and liver tissues. Fish fed nano‐Se had the highest liver glutathione peroxidase, superoxide dismutase and catalase activities (P < 0.05). Liver malondialdehyde level was significantly (P < 0.05) lower in fish fed on SeMet and nano‐Se diets as compared to control. The carp fed on nano‐Se diet had the lowest values of aspartate transaminase and alanine transaminase. Lactate dehydrogenase activity was significantly lower in fish fed on SeMet and nano‐Se diets. This study shows that nano‐Se acts more efficiently on growth performance and antioxidant defence system of common carp than organic and inorganic sources of Se.     

Effects of dietary turmeric administration on stress,immune, antioxidant and inflammatory responses of common carp (Cyprinus carpio) during copper exposure

The present study assessed the effects of dietary turmeric on Cyprinus carpio resistance and responses to copper exposure. First, the fish were assigned to four treatments received diets supplemented with 0 (control), 5, 10 and 20 g/kg turmeric for 3 weeks. Thereafter, the fish were exposed to lethal concentration (3.5 mg/L) of ambient copper for 24 hr and mortality was 65.3%, 41.8%, 22.7% and 20.6%, respectively. In the second experiment, the fish were fed with the aforementioned diets and simultaneously exposed to sub‐lethal concentration (0.25 mg/L) of ambient copper for 3 weeks. Copper exposure led to increases in plasma cortisol, glucose, malondialdehyde (MDA), alanine transaminase (ALT) and aspartate transaminase (AST), and decrease in plasma T₄, T₃, lysozyme, alternative complement haemolytic (ACH50), bactericidal activities, superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT), glutathione peroxidase (GPx), and blood red blood cell count (RBC) and haemoglobin. Moreover, copper exposure led to significant upregulation of tumour necrosis factor‐alpha (TNF‐a) and interleukin 1‐beta (IL1‐b), and significant downregulation of interleukin 10 (IL10) gene expressions in the fish liver. Turmeric administration at 10 g/kg significantly mitigated/inhibited the copper‐induced negative effects, which seems to be due to the augmenting of the antioxidant defence.     

Protective effects of dietary selenium on abalone Haliotis discus hannai against the toxicity of waterborne cadmium

This study was conducted to investigate protective effects of dietary selenium (Se) on abalone Haliotis discus hannai Ino against the toxicity of cadmium (Cd). A 60‐day feeding trial was conducted with abalone (initial weight: 3.17 ± 0.01 g), which were exposed to 0.34 mg/L of waterborne Cd. During a feeding trial, abalone were fed graded levels of Se at 0.10 (controls), 1.31, and 4.20 mg/kg diet respectively. Results showed that there was no significant difference in specific growth rate and survival rate of abalone among the three treatments. Compared with the controls, dietary Se significantly decreased Cd concentrations in serum, muscle, mantle, gill, mantle, and hepatopancreas of abalone. Besides, compared with the controls, dietary Se significantly increased metallothionein concentration in the hepatopancreas of abalone. Additionally, compared with the controls, dietary Se significantly decreased concentrations of malondiadehyde and protein carbonyl in hepatopancreas of abalone. Meanwhile, compared with the controls, dietary Se significantly increased activities of glutathione peroxidase, thioredoxin reductase, and thioredoxin peroxidase, and concentration of glutathione in the hepatopancreas of abalone. Based on the data above, in abalone, dietary Se showed protective effects against waterborne Cd.     

Evaluation of the effects induced by dietary diphenyl diselenide on common carp Cyprinus carpio

Several diets employed in aquaculture are enriched with selenium (Se), as it is a fundamental element to aquatic vertebrates. Diphenyl diselenide [(PhSe)₂], which is a synthetic organoselenium compound, has been considered a potential antioxidant agent in different experimental models. Thus, the aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of dietary diphenyl diselenide at concentrations of 1.5, 3.0, and 5.0 mg/kg for 60 days and to determine its optimal supplemental level for carp, Cyprinus carpio. Neither growth retardation nor hepatoxicity was induced by the inclusion of diphenyl diselenide at concentrations ranging from 1.5 to 5.0 mg/kg. In addition, the inclusion of 3.0 mg/kg of diphenyl diselenide stimulated the weight and length of the carp. The supplementation with 1.5 and 3.0 mg/kg of diphenyl diselenide did not produce oxidative damage in the tissues, verified by peroxidation lipid and protein carbonyl assays. However, at 5.0 mg/kg, it caused an increase of the lipid peroxidation in the liver, brain, and muscle, and inhibited the cerebral acetylcholinesterase activity. An increase of the hepatic superoxide dismutase activity and non-protein thiols content in all tissues and ascorbic acid in the liver, gills, and brain was verified in carp fed with the diet containing 3.0 mg/kg of diphenyl diselenide. This diet had advantageous effects for the fish used in experiments. Therefore, this compound could be considered a beneficial dietary supplement for carp nutrition.     

Enhancement of Hsp70 synthesis protects common carp, Cyprinus carpio L., against lethal ammonia toxicity

Exposure to TEX‐OE^®, a patented extract of the prickly pear cactus (Opuntia ficus indica) containing chaperone‐stimulating factor, was shown to protect common carp, Cyprinus carpio L., fingerlings against acute ammonia stress. Survival was enhanced twofold from 50% to 95% after exposure to 5.92 mg L^?1 NH₃, a level determined in the ammonia challenge bioassay as the 1‐h LD50 concentration for this species. Survival of TEX‐OE^®‐pre‐exposed fish was enhanced by 20% over non‐exposed controls during lethal ammonia challenge (14.21 mg L^?1 NH₃). Increase in the levels of gill and muscle Hsp70 was evident in TEX‐OE^®‐pre‐exposed fish but not in the unexposed controls, indicating that application of TEX‐OE^® accelerated carp endogenous Hsp70 synthesis during ammonia perturbation. Protection against ammonia was correlated with Hsp70 accretion.     

镉污染对鲤超氧化物歧化酶活性的影响

亚硝酸盐中毒鲤的血液和组织病理学研究

选取120尾体重为(5.0±0.058)g鲤(Cyprinus carpio)鱼种,观察鲤亚硝酸盐氮中毒后的症状和死亡情况,测定各浓度组中毒鲤的红细胞数量(RBC)和血红蛋白(Hb)含量,并对中毒死亡鲤进行组织病理学研究。结果显示:亚硝酸盐氮(NO2-N)对鲤48、96 h的半数致死浓度(LC50)分别为12.6895 mg/L和9.3111 mg/L;安全浓度为0.8308 mg/L。亚硝态氮的浓度和血细胞数量呈负相关性,而与血红蛋白的含量不相关。高浓度的亚硝酸盐使得试验鱼的鳃和肝胰脏组织产生异常变化,出现血管扩张,充血或淤血以及细胞变性等一系列的组织病理学变化;而低浓度组的组织发生的变化不明显。     

Hepatoprotective and antioxidant effects of dietary Angelica sinensis extract against carbon tetrachloride‐induced hepatic injury in Jian Carp (Cyprinus carpio var. Jian)

The present study aimed to evaluate the hepatoprotective effects of Angelica sinensis extract (ASE) against carbon tetrachloride (CCl₄)‐induced hepatotoxicity in Jian carp (Cyprinus carpio var.Jian). Fish were fed diets containing four doses of ASE (0%, 0.1%, 0.5% and 1.0%) for 60 days, and then given an intraperitoneal injection of 30% CCl₄ in olive oil at a volume of 0.05 mL/10 g body weight. At 72 h post injection, blood and liver samples were collected for biochemical analysis, comet assay, histopathological examination and CYP3A mRNA expression. Results showed that the increases of glutamate pyruvate transaminase (GPT) and glutamate oxalate transaminase (GOT) induced by CCl₄ were significantly inhibited by pre‐treating the fish with 0.1%, 0.5% and 1.0% ASE in the diets. The elevation of lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) and the reductions of the total protein (TP) and albumin (Alb) in the serum induced by CCl₄ were also inhibited by pre‐treatments with 0.5 and 1.0% ASE. In the liver tissue, pre‐treatment with 1.0% ASE significantly inhibited the malondialdehyde (MDA) formation and the reductions of the total antioxidant capacity (T‐AOC), superoxide dismutase (SOD), glutathione (GSH) and CYP3A mRNA expression induced by CCl₄. Comet assay showed that tail moment, olive tail moment, tail length and tail DNA% were positively changed in fish pretreated with 0.5 and 1.0% ASE. CCl₄‐induced histological changes were obviously reduced by 0.5% and 1.0% ASE. Overall results prove the hepatoprotective effect of ASE in a dose‐dependent manner and support the use of ASE (1.0%) as a hepatoprotective and antioxidant agent in fish.
