Muscle growth mechanisms are controlled by molecular pathways that can be affected fasting and refeeding. In this study, we hypothesized short period of followed refeeding would change the expression muscle growth-related genes in juvenile Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus). The aim study was to analyze MyoD, myogenin myostatin characteristics white during Juvenile fish were divided into three groups: (FC) control, feeding continuously for 42 days, (F5) 5 days 37 refeeding, (F10) 10 32 At...

Genetically improved farmed tilapia (GIFT) is a strain of Nile ( Oreochromis niloticus ) developed for production and commercial parameters. Skin color, one the characteristics distinguishing varieties, an important phenotypic trait associated with qualitative productive performance. This study aimed to assess fillet skin in GIFT black red phenotypes. For this, 24 from same spawning stock were divided into two groups based on namely variety (dark skin) (reddish skin).

Pacu (Piaractus mesopotamicus) is a fast-growing fish that extensively used in Brazilian aquaculture programs and shows wide range of thermal tolerance. Because temperature an environmental factor influences the growth rate directly related to muscle plasticity growth, we hypothesized different rearing temperatures juvenile pacu, which exhibits intense by hyperplasia, can potentially alter patterns this species. The aim study was analyze characteristics together with expression myogenic...

The objective of the present experiment was to evaluate effects encapsuled active principles (eugenol, thymol and vanillin blend), clove rosemary essential oils inclusion into finishing diets Nellore heifers on chemical composition, collagen content, fatty acid profile structural traits (fibers types, type I III sarcomere length) longissimus muscle. Treatments had no effect (P > .05) fiber, meat composition or in muscle profile. However, diet with oil principle blend led an increase length,...

Abstract Tilapia, Oreochromis niloticus , is among the fish species with high potential for aquaculture in intensive farming, and Brazil largest producers worldwide. Some of amino acid requirements practical diets tilapia are still unknown. Thus, this study determined dietary arginine Nile juveniles based on growth performance, hematological biochemical responses, muscle growth. Three hundred (2.95 ± 0.79 g) were distributed into 20–500 L fiberglass aquaria fed five extruded isoproteic (28%...

A combination of resistance training and whey protein supplementation is a common practice among athletes recreational exercisers to enhance muscle growth strength. Although their safety as food additives controversial, artificial sweeteners are present in supplements. Thus, natural extracted from the leaves Stevia rebaudiana potential alternative, due health benefits. Here, we investigated effects sweetened with S. on physical performance mitochondrial biogenesis markers skeletal...

Abstract Background Obesity has been linked to gastrointestinal disorders, and the loss of myenteric neurons in intestine caused by high‐fat diets (HFD) attributed changes microbiota lipotoxicity. We investigated whether prebiotic inulin modulates bacterial populations alleviates neuronal mice fed HFD. Methods Swiss were purified rodent diet or HFD (59% kcal fat), both supplemented with for 17 weeks. Intestinal motility was assessed a metagenome analysis colonic performed. The gene...

Abstract This study examined the influence of a diet enriched with free methionine (dl-Met) or dipeptide (dl-MMet) on intestinal health Eimeria-challenged (EC) and unchallenged (UC) broilers. A non-supplemented, methionine-deficient (NS) was used as control. Treatments were arranged in 2 × 3 factorial completely randomized design eight replications. Broilers EC group infected sporulated oocysts Eimeria spp. (E. acervulina, E. maxima, praecox, mitis) at 14 d age. Performance analysis, light...
