瓯江彩鲤生殖周期内卵巢成熟系数及脂类、脂肪酸的变化 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
采用生化方法测定了瓯江彩鲤(Cyprinus carpio var.color)卵巢不同发育时期的成熟系数及卵巢脂类、脂肪酸含量与组成,旨在了解瓯江彩鲤卵巢中脂类、脂肪酸的变化与卵巢发育及卵细胞成熟之间的关系。结果显示:卵巢中总脂含量在产卵前最高,占干重17.62%,产卵后显著下降到12.84%(P<0.05),到快速生长期又出现稍微下降,之后在越冬期开始呈上升趋势。4个时期中,C16∶0(软脂酸)、C18∶1n-9c(油酸)、C18∶2n-6c(亚油酸)均是卵巢中的主导脂肪酸,其含量显著高于其它脂肪酸(P<0.05);产卵前,卵巢中脂肪酸含量高,但种类较少,产卵后,卵巢中脂肪酸含量低,但种类较多;随卵巢的发育,不饱和脂肪酸的比例增加,从快速生长期到产卵前,C20∶4n-6(ARA)与C22∶6n-3(DHA)的含量逐渐上升,最高分别达11.63 mg/g、17.80 mg/g。结果表明:不同时期卵巢中脂类含量与成熟系数呈正相关,卵巢成熟需积累较多脂类物质。不饱和脂肪酸尤其是DHA、ARA对卵巢的成熟具有重要作用。 相似文献

The egg morphometry and lipid and protein components were determined in induced spawns (n=14) of the sea bass, Lates calcarifer, to identify measures of egg quality. Based on fertilization and hatching rates, the spawns were classified either in Group I, (zero fertilization) or Group II (where fertilization and hatching occurred). The egg morphometry did not differ between the two groups (p > 0.05). The total lipid was higher in Group II than in Group I, although the difference was not significant (p > 0.05). The EPA and linoleic acid were significantly higher in Group II (p < 0.05). There were positive correlations between the total saturated fatty acids and fertilization rate (p < 0.05; r=0.58), the total saturated fatty acids and percentage of normal zygotes (p < 0.02; r=0.62), and DHA and the percentage of normal zygotes (p < 0.04; r=0.56). The total protein and FAAs were higher in Group I than in Group II, but the differences were not significant (p > 0.05). Proline, glycine, p-ethanolamine, and aspartic acid were significantly higher in Group II (p < 0.05), while tyrosine and glutamic acid were significantly higher in Group I (p < 0.05). Phosphoserine and fertilization rate were positively correlated (p < 0.03; r=0.60), as well as aspartic acid and hatching rate (p < 0.05; r=0.54). Arginine was negatively correlated with fertilization rate (p < 0.03; r=–0.61) and the percentage of normal zygotes (p < 0.03; r=–0.63). Serine was inversely correlated with yolk volume of the newly-hatched larvae (p < 0.03; r=–0.77). The moisture content of the eggs, which was significantly higher in Group II than in Group I (p < 0.03), was directly correlated with the FAAs:protein ratio (p < 0.03; r=0.76). The present results reveal egg components that may be used as quality measures in induced spawns of sea bass, a euryhaline teleost that spawn pelagic eggs containing an oil globule. 相似文献

Protein, lipid and fatty acid concentrations in plasma of eight male and eight female six year old captive striped bass (Morone saxatilis) were monitored monthly over the course of two reproductive cycles as part of an effort to investigate the time course of lipid class mobilization and subsequent deposition in gonads. Total protein levels (44.2 ± 0.67 mg ml–1, range 20.6–86.4) showed seasonal fluctuation, but did not vary with sex. Total lipid concentrations in the plasma of both males (17.7 ± 0.61 mg ml–1) and females (14.1 ± 0.64 mg ml–1) showed seasonal fluctuations with the lowest levels in late Spring during spawning. Plasma lipids in females were significantly (p < 0.0001) lower than those of the males except during early ovarian secondary growth. Analysis of the lipid class composition revealed that the decrease in plasma lipid concentrations in females prior to spawning is primarily due to a decrease of up to 50% in the phospholipid content of the plasma relative to males. Striped bass vitellogenin was found to contain approximately 20% lipid by weight with nearly 80% of the lipid being phosphatidyl choline (PC). Vitellogenin levels previously measured in these individuals were highest during the winter months and decreased in the 2 months prior to spawning. Although mature striped bass oocytes are rich in wax esters, no wax esters or fatty alcohols were found in the plasma. Analysis of the fatty acyl composition of separated lipid classes suggests that PC is the primary carrier of the essential (n=3) fatty acids 22:6 (DHA) and 20:5 (EPA) to the gonads. Fatty acid analysis of the lipids associated with vitellogenin revealed that levels of essential fatty acids were low relative to vitellogenin-borne lipids from other teleosts. The lack of detectable wax esters in plasma lipids of female striped bass suggests that these abundant lipids in mature eggs are synthesized within the oocytes. 相似文献

Greenshell? mussel (GSM, Perna canaliculus) is New Zealand's most important aquaculture species. This study looked at changes in the proximate composition, lipid class and fatty acid profile of male and female market ready mussels over a year from April 2016 through to March 2017. There were differences over the season as well as differences between male and female mussels. Winter GSM had lower lipid, carbohydrate and protein concentrations than other seasons. Female mussels had a higher lipid (on average 1.8 ± 0.5 g/100 g ww) and carbohydrate (on average 5.0 ± 1.1 g/100 g ww) compared with the males (lipid, 1.5 ± 0.4 g/100 g ww and carbohydrate 4.5 ± 1.2 g/100 g ww). The major differences observed between seasons in the omega 3 and fatty acids content of the GSM were driven by the fat content, with the highest fat content found in female mussels in the spring prior to spawning. The majority of lipids found in mussels are polar lipids. Overall, this study provides the most comprehensive data on the composition and the lipid content of GSM to date and provides solid base‐line data as the New Zealand GSM industry continues to improve their production procedures. The enhanced nutritional payload of mussels harvested outside of winter (particularly female mussels in spring) could drive a differentiated higher value mussel product. 相似文献

The fatty acid content, fatty acid molecular species composition, and fluidity of phospholipid vesicles and plasma membranes of livers of fish feeding on phytoplankton (silver carp, Hypophthalmichtys molitrix), zooplankton, (big head carp, Hypophtalmitrix nobilis), higher plants, (grass carp, Ctenopharyngodon idella), and omnivorous fish, (common carp, Cyprinus carpio), adapted to reduced temperatures, was determined. Levels of long chain polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) were highest in silver and big head carp and lowest in common carp. Differences in long chain PUFAs were poorly reflected in fluidity, determined either by fluorescence anizotropy of 1,6-diphenyl 1,3,5-hexatriene or rotational correlation time of 16-doxyl- stearic acid, of phospholipid vesicles. Phospholipid vesicles of C. caripo and C. idella proved to be slightly more rigid than of H. molitrix and H. nobilis below ca. 15 °C. These differences were not seen with isolated plasma membranes assessed with 1,6-diphenyl 1,3,5-hexatriene. Using electron spin resonance spectroscopy plasma membranes from H. molitrix proved to be more fluid than those from C. carpio below ca. 15 °C. Phosphatidylethanolamines were abundant in 1-monounsaturated, 2-polyunsaturated (18:1/22:6, 18:1/20:4) species with H. molitrix and H. nobilis more rich in these species than C. carpio and C. idella. It is suggested that differences in fluidities of phospholipid vesicles below 15 °C is due to differences in levels of the above molecular species. In native membranes these differences may be masked by proteins and other membrane components. It is also suggested that it is not the fatty acid composition of the ingested food but the specific response of the fish to temperature that is the most important factor controlling the physicochemical properties of membranes during thermal adaptation. 相似文献

ABSTRACT: The effect of an n-3 essential fatty acid (EFA) -deficient diet on spawning and on the lipid and fatty acid contents of eggs, semen and livers of rainbow trout Oncorhynchus mykiss was investigated. Fish were split into two groups and fed either of two diets for a period of 4 months prior to the start of the spawning season. The control group was fed a commercial diet, containing n-3 EFA, whereas the experimental group was fed an n-3 EFA-deficient diet. Fish were 3 years old at the time of spawning. Eggs and semen were stripped off five females and five males from each diet group and cross-fertilized. Two of the five males fed the deficient diet showed a lower sperm motility, resulting in slightly lower mean hatching rates when crossed with eggs of either group. Higher lipid contents in the EFA-deficient diet were reflected in the egg and semen lipid contents, whereas the lipid contents of male livers of both diet groups were higher than those of female livers. In livers and eggs, the main polar lipid was phosphatidylcholine accompanied by phosphatidylethanolamine in sperm polar lipids. The non-polar lipids of eggs were mainly triacylglycerols but in livers and semen, free fatty acids and free sterols were more abundant. Essential fatty acids, namely n-3 highly unsaturated fatty acids and linolenic acid, were generally lower in eggs, semen and livers sampled from the EFA-deficient diet group. These results indicate that the fertilization, eyed and hatching rates obtained from crossings with males fed the EFA-deficient diet were slightly lower because of the dietary effect on sperm motility. Moreover, lipids of eggs, semen and livers of male and female rainbow trout were influenced greatly by their dietary availability. 相似文献

Present study aimed to determine the optimum dietary lipid level in snakehead murrel channa striatus broodstocks. Triplicate groups of fish were fed for 240 days with isonitrogenous experimental diets with increasing lipid levels (100, 140, and 180 g kg?1), using fish oil and soybean oil as the lipid sources with the ratio of (1:1). Weight gain, GSI, fecundity, oocyte diameter and number of mature oocyte were found to be significantly higher in the group fed with diet containing 180 g kg?1 lipid level. Muscle fatty acid profile showed a significant increase in LA (18:2n‐6), LNA (18:3n3), total PUFA, n‐6 and ArA (20:4n‐6) in fish fed with diet containing 180 g kg?1 lipid. Increasing lipid level up to 180 g kg?1 resulted in significant increase in PUFA (LA & LNA), lc‐PUFA (EPA, DHA, ArA), total PUFA, n‐3 and n‐6 series in ovary and liver of female C. striatus. 相似文献

Total lipid (TL), lipid classes and fatty acid composition of neutral (NL) and polar (PL) lipids were studied in the gonads, liver and muscle of gilthead seabream males ( Sparus aurata ) fed a control diet (diet C) or an n-3 and n-6 highly unsaturated fatty acids (HUFA)-deficient diet (diet D), at different stages of the reproductive cycle. Between pre-spermatogenesis (November) and spermatogenesis (March), the lipid content was high and particularly rich in cholesterol, phosphatidylcholine and phosphatidylethanolamine in gonads from both dietary groups. At post-spermatogenesis (June), TL and especially PL dramatically decreased in the gonads from both groups. However, at this period diet C fish gonads were richer in triacylglycerides (TAG) than those from diet D fish. The liver lipid contents and particularly TAG were over 200% lower in June than in March for both groups. Nevertheless, the most noteworthy depletion of lipids during this period was achieved by the n-3 HUFA in diet D fish. Conversely, arachidonic acid (20:4n-6) did not decrease in NL or PL from gonads and liver in groups C and D. Muscle lipids from diet C fish were relatively insensitive to seasonal influences. However, in June, the muscle TAG content was significantly reduced in diet D fish. 相似文献

Total lipid, lipid classes and their associated fatty acids have been measured in whole halibut, Hippoglossus hippoglossus (L.) larvae and in dissected animals separated into yolk and body compartments. At hatching the larval body contained 17 μg ind?1 of lipid (11% of larval body dry weight), while the yolk contained 190 μg ind?1. Phosphatidylcholine (PC) accounted for 57% of total yolk lipids while phosphatidylethanolamine (PE), triacylglycerol (TAG), cholesterol and sterol ester (SE) accounted for 12%, 12%, 9% and 6% respectively. The main fatty acids in the PC fraction were 22:6n-3 (25.6 μg ind?1), 16:0 (19.2 μg ind?1) and 20:5n-3 (12.6 μg ind?1). Between hatch and 200 day-degrees post hatch (D°PH) a net decline in total lipids of 29% was seen. There seemed to be some, but relatively minor, changes in the relative composition of lipids in the yolk throughout development, which are indicative of a non-selective endocytotic bulk uptake of lipids from the yolk. Towards first-feeding there was a selective catabolism of PC and a net synthesis of PE in the developing body, resulting in a shift in the lipid class composition in the body compared with that of the yolk. The fatty acids released from lipid hydrolysis were mainly used as energy substrates by the growing halibut larvae; 22:6n-3 was quantitatively one of the most important fatty acid fuel in energy metabolism. At the same time 38% and 23% of the 22:6n-3 released from PC was retained by the PE and neutral lipids in the growing larval body respectively. Except for 20:5n-3 (2%, 14%) no similar retention was seen in any of the other fatty acids. The observed net synthesis of PE in developing yolk-sac larvae of Atlantic halibut and the preferential retention of 22:6n-3 into it, increasing from 28% at hatching to 45% at 200 D°PH, may point to a high biological value of this compound. 相似文献

Abstract – We examined seasonal variations in liver condition factor, total lipid and fatty acid composition of maturing pikeperch ( Sander lucioperca) from Lake Eğirdir, Turkey. The spawning of pikeperch in Eğirdir Lake started in March, continued very fast during May and gradually ended in July as determined by measuring the gonadosomatic index. The total lipid content of male and female liver reached its highest level in September and November (the end of dense feeding period during which temperature decreased sharply), but declined to the lowest level in May (just after spawning). The highest level of liver condition factor was observed in January and March during which gonads mature rapidly. Palmitic acid was the predominant saturated fatty acid (SFA) in female and male liver. The ratio of monounsaturated fatty acids (MUFA) was higher than that of polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) in both sexes. Docosahexaenoic acid (22:6 n -3), eicosopentaenoic acid (20:5 n -3) and arachidonic acid (20:4 n -6) were the predominant PUFA. Seasonal variations in PUFA were more evident than that in other fatty acids. PUFA, especially the n -3 fatty acids ratio, increased to the maximum level during the sharp decreases in temperature (in November). However, the amount of PUFA decreased to the lowest level in reproductive period. The results suggest that the ratio of pikeperch liver fatty acids is influenced by gonad maturation and temperature variations and that pikeperch requires a large amount of PUFA and the n -3 fatty acids for the development of gonads. 相似文献

Blood, freshly collected from warm- and cold-acclimated carp, Cyprinus carpio L., was cooled to 5°C for 4h or warmed to 25°C for 4h, respectively, and the fluorescence anisotropy of washed red blood cells was recorded using the fluorescent dye 3-(p-(6-phenyl-1,3,5-hexatrienyl) phenyl propionic acid [DPH-PA] (which is restricted to the outer leaflet of the plasma membrane) before and after the temperature shift. Despite individual variation, the plasma membrane of cold-exposed erythrocytes became more fluid while that of warm-exposed cells became more rigid following the temperature shift. This response was rapid and reversible. Cold-exposed cells from warm-acclimated fish became more fluid within 40–60 minutes and reverted to their original fluidity within the same time on warming, at a rate of 1°C/min; erythrocytes, from cold-adapted carp displayed an opposite change in fluidity over a similar time period. Cells from warm-acclimated, temperature down-shifted carp hyperfluidized their plasma membranes in the cold, whereas cells from cold-acclimated fish up-shifted in temperature showed no similar effect. These cells showed a complete adjustment of membrane physical state to the temperature. Total phospholipids obtained from warm-acclimated temperature down-shifted cells became more rigid than they were, when assayed at the acclimation temperature. In contrast, phospholipids obtained from cold-acclimated cells became more rigid when exposed to increasing temperatures. No significant changes occurred to the polar head groups, or to the fatty acid composition of the total phospholipids. It was concluded that the lipids play only a secondary role in the control of the physical state of plasma membrane in carp erythrocytes, and that some non-lipid components of these structures might be involved in these regulatory processes. 相似文献

Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar L.) with an average weight of 411 ± 16 g were fed after a period of 7 days without food and the free amino acid concentrations in the pylorus, liver and white muscle measured before and at 3, 6, 9, 15 and 24 h after feeding. There were few significant postprandial changes in tissue free amino acid concentrations. In the white muscle, concentrations of six indispensable amino acids were significantly (p < 0.05) higher after 9 (Ile, Leu, Phe, Thr) or 15 h (Val, Met). Individual feed intake was measured and there were significant positive correlations between amino acid intake and amino acid concentrations in white muscle free pools for total amino acids (p < 0.001), total indispensable amino acids (p < 0.001) and individual indispensable amino acids (Ile, Leu, Lys, Met, Phe, Val). These relationships were due to relatively low feed intake (0.28% body weight) that followed 7 days without feeding. The indispensable amino acid profile of the white muscle free pool was compared with that of standard proteins (the feed, whole body and white muscle), as well as with indispensable amino acids requirements. At different times one of two indispensable amino acids, Phe (at 0, 3, 6, 9, 15 h after feeding) or Trp (at 24 h after feeding), was present at the lowest relative concentrations compared to the other indispensable amino acids. This showed that although changes in tissue free amino acid concentrations following feeding were small the amino acid profile (relative concentrations) in the white muscle free pool changed. It is proposed that the lowest relative concentration of an indispensable amino acid in the white muscle free pool should be considered in relation to its potential to limit the efficiency of protein synthesis and retention. 相似文献

An attempt was made to increase free amino acids (FAA) concentrations in eggs of red snapper Lutjanus campechanus as part of an induced spawning protocol. Mature female red snapper were given intramuscular injections of human chorionic gonadotropin (HCG) at a 1100 IU kg?1 of female body weight. Immediately after the HCG injection, one set of females received an intramuscular injection of FAA in a buffered saline solution at a dose of 20 mg FAA cocktail kg?1 of body weight. The FAA cocktail was 25% isoleucine, 25% leucine, 25% lysine and 25% valine on a molecular weight basis. A second set of fish did not receive the FAA supplement. Both sets of fish were equally successful in spawning with ovulation occurring 21–32.5 h post injection. Injection of FAA into brooders as eggs began final maturation and hydration resulted in an increase in leucine (nmoles mg egg?1) and a slight increase in isoleucine (nmoles egg?1) in recently ovulated eggs. FAA supplementation via brood injection altered FAA utilization rates by embryos and during larval development, resulted in a greater yolk sac and oil globule reserve in larvae as they approached the time of first feeding. 相似文献

Abstract Over the past 20 years many studies and clinical investigations have addressed the beneficial effects of polyunsaturated fatty acids in general and ω3 fatty acids in particular. It is currently known that ω3 fatty acids play important role in the prevention of several pathologies like the coronary heart disease, hypertension, diabetes and other. The protection played by ω3 fatty acids against coronary heart disease may be related to antiatherogenic effects and/or to the modification of risk factors through mechanisms related to lipid metabolism. The objective of this work was to evaluate, in healthy volunteers, the effect of a diet supplementation with canned sardine, which is rich in co3 fatty acids on the profile of plasma and erythrocytes, lipids, phospholipids and fatty acids. The serum levels of total cholesterol and high density lipoproteins (HDL) did not change during the period of the supplementation, tri-acylglycerol levels showed a trend for a decrease and low density lipoproteins (LDL)-derived thiobarbituric acid-reactive substances (LDL TBARS) levels showed a decrease. Incorporation of eicosapentaenoic and docosahexaenoic fatty acids (EPA and DHA, respectively) into plasma and erythrocyte phospholipids was observed. The results suggest that the undergone dietary supplementation may have allowed the incorporation of co3 polyunsaturated fatty acids into cell membranes and has increased the resistance of LDL to oxidative stress. This may represent protection factors against atherosclerosis and cardiovascular disease. 相似文献

The annual profile of plasma vitellogenin (VTG) and 17ß-estradiol (E2) levels, as well as gonadal development and spawning characteristics were investigated in captive female sea bass (Dicentrarchus labrax). Endocrine and gonadal changes were studied in fish reared under natural conditions or exposed to manipulated photothermal cycles. In natural conditions of photoperiod and temperature, sea bass spawned from February through March (East coast of Spain, 40°N 0°E). One or two months of constant long-days (15L/9D) in a constant short-day photoperiod regime (9L/15D) all-year-round, given early in the year (March and March–April), advanced spawning by 3 months. The same treatment applied later in the year (September–October) delayed spawning by 1 month, compared to controls.In all groups, changes in plasma VTG levels were correlated with E2 levels, oocyte growth and spawning time. In control females, VTG was low (<100 ng ml-1) during the summer, until its first surge in plasma 4 months before the beginning of spawning. The VTG (3.1 ± 0.3 mg ml-1) and E2 (4.1 ± 0.5 ng ml-1) levels showed a single annual peak during late vitellogenesis, the time of the highest proportion of vitellogenic oocytes in the ovary. Constant high levels of VTG (1–1.4 mg ml-1) and E2 (1.6–1.9ng ml-1) were maintained during the entire spawning time, together with the presence of vitellogenic oocytes, suggesting the existence of several waves of oocyte growth in the ovary and thus, several spawns per female. Endocrine profiles and oocyte development in fish exposed to constant photoperiods were similar to controls, but were shifted in time in relation to the displacement of the spawning time. In the fish showing advanced spawns, the duration of the gametogenic proces was compressed when compared to controls. The differences observed in the evolution of the reproductive-related factors in the advanced groups, which were exposed to a reduction in temperature to 15°C, suggest an influence of the temperature in the early stages of the reproductive cycle in sea bass. 相似文献

Copepod oil (CO) from the marine zooplankton, Calanus finmarchicus, is a potential alternative to fish oils (FOs) for inclusion in aquafeeds. The oil is composed mainly of wax esters (WE) containing high levels of saturated fatty acids (SFAs) and monounsaturated fatty alcohols that are poorly digested by fish at low temperatures. Consequently, tissue lipid compositions may be adversely affected in salmon‐fed CO at low temperatures. This study examined the lipid and FA compositions of muscle and liver of Atlantic salmon reared at two temperatures (3 and 12 °C) and fed diets containing either FO or CO, supplying 50% of dietary lipid as WE, at two fat levels (~330 g kg?1, high; ~180 g kg?1, low). Fish were acclimatized to rearing temperature for 1 month and then fed one of four diets: high‐fat fish oil (HFFO), high‐fat Calanus oil (HFCO), low‐fat fish oil (LFFO) and low‐fat Calanus oil (LFCO). The fish were grown to produce an approximate doubling of initial weight at harvest (220 days at 3 °C and 67 days at 12 °C), and lipid content, lipid class composition and FA composition of liver and muscle were determined. The differences in tissue lipid composition between dietary groups were relatively small. The majority of FA in triacylglycerols (TAG) in both tissues were monounsaturated, and their levels were generally higher at 3 °C than 12 °C. Polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA), particularly (n‐3) PUFA, predominated in the polar lipids, and their level was not significantly affected by temperature. The PUFA content of TAG was highest (~26%) in the muscle of fish fed the HFCO diet at both temperatures. Tissue levels of SFAs were lower in fish‐fed diets containing HFCO than those fed HFFO, LFFO or LFCO, particularly at 3 °C. The results are consistent with Atlantic salmon being able to incorporate both the FA and fatty alcohol components of WE into tissue lipids but, overall, the effects of environmental temperature on tissue lipids were more pronounced in fish fed the CO diets than FO diets. 相似文献
