The present research aimed to investigate in a model of teleost fish (rainbow trout) the existence of daily changes in activity and mRNA abundance of several proteins involved in major pathways of carbohydrate and lipid metabolism in liver, and to test whether or not both the light-dark cycle and food availability might influence such rhythms. For this purpose, four cohorts of animals previously adapted to normal housing conditions (12L: 12D; Lights on at ZT0; feeding time at ZT2) were subjected to: normal conditions (LD); 48-h constant darkness (DD); 96-h food deprivation (LD + Fasting); or constant darkness and food deprivation (DD + Fasting) respectively. After such time periods, fish were sacrificed and sampled every 4-h on the following 24-h period (ZT/CT0, 4, 8, 12, 16, 20 and 00). Our results reveal that cortisol and all the analysed genes (gk, pepck, g6pase, pk, glut2, hoad and fas) exhibited well defined daily rhythms, which persisted even in the absence of light and/or food indicating the endogenous nature of such rhythms. Even when the variations of enzyme activities were not significant, their rhythms mostly paralleled those of the respective gene expression. The rhythms of mRNA abundance were apparently dependent on the presence of food, but the light/dark cycle also influenced such rhythms. Since cortisol does not appear to be mainly involved in generating such daily rhythms in liver, alternative mechanisms might be involved, such as a direct interaction between metabolism and the circadian system.

Periprandial response of central cannabinoid system to different feeding conditions in rainbow trout Oncorhynchus mykiss

Adrian Diaz-Rua, Mauro Chivite, Cristina Velasco, Sara Comesana, Jose L. Soengas, Marta Conde-Sieira

Summary: This study evaluated the main components of the cannabinoid system related to feeding conditions in fish. The results suggest a potential role of the endocannabinoid system in the regulation of food intake in fish, but further research is needed.

Amino Acid Carriers of the Solute Carrier Families 7 (SLC7) and 38 (SLC38) Are Involved in Leucine Sensing in the Brain of Atlantic Salmon (Salmo salar)

Sara Comesana, Floriana Lai, Ann-Elise Olderbakk Jordal, Tiziano Verri, Marit Espe, Jose L. Soengas, Ivar Ronnestad

Summary: The sensing of amino acids in the fish brain, particularly branched-chain amino acids like leucine, plays a role in regulating feed intake through various mechanisms. Studies suggest that members of the SLC family may be involved in the anorectic effect of leucine and serve as an additional amino acid sensing mechanism in fish regulation of feed intake, particularly in brain areas such as the hypothalamus and telencephalon. The different paralogues of amino acid carriers, including LAT1 and SNAT2, showed changes in mRNA abundance in response to varying levels of leucine in the diet in Atlantic salmon.

The Opioid System in Rainbow Trout Telencephalon Is Probably Involved in the Hedonic Regulation of Food Intake

Summary: We investigated the role of the opioid system in the regulation of food intake in rainbow trout. Our results suggest that the opioid system is not critical for the homeostatic regulation of food intake, but it may play a role in the hedonic regulation.

Role of Melatonin in Apple Fruit during Growth and Ripening: Possible Interaction with Ethylene

Summary: The role of melatonin during the growth and ripening of apple fruit was studied using local varieties. It was found that melatonin stimulates fruit ripening through the induction of ethylene synthesis, and melatonin treatments before ripening improve the final fruit quality.

Partial and total fishmeal replacement by defatted Tenebrio molitor larvae meal do not alter short- and mid-term regulation of food intake in European sea bass (Dicentrarchus labrax)

Summary: Understanding the regulation of food intake in fish is crucial for formulating aquafeeds. This study evaluated the short- and mid-term response of European sea bass fed diets with partial and total fishmeal replacement by defatted Tenebrio molitor larvae meal (dTM). The results showed that dTM replacement did not affect food intake regulation in sea bass, but may lead to long-term changes in intermediary metabolism.

Involvement of Mechanistic Target of Rapamycin (mTOR) in Valine Orexigenic Effects in Rainbow Trout

Summary: This study clarifies the importance of mTOR in the central orexigenic effect of valine in fish. The activation of mTOR is associated with increased feed intake levels, but the precise mechanisms are still unclear.

Fatty acids of different nature differentially modulate feed intake in rainbow trout

Summary: This study demonstrates the presence of a gut-brain axis in fish, as different types and lengths of fatty acids impact feed intake and appetite-regulatory centers in rainbow trout. The findings have important implications for aquaculture due to variations in fatty acid composition in aquafeeds.

Endocannabinoid receptors are involved in enhancing food intake in rainbow trout

Mauro Chivite, Sara Comesana, Jessica Calo, Jose L. Soengas, Marta Conde-Sieira

Summary: This study demonstrated the presence of a rewarding response mediated by the endocannabinoid system (ECs) in rainbow trout fed a lipid-enriched diet. The agonists of ECs had a bimodal effect on feed intake, and the involvement of specific receptors of ECs in this response was assessed using receptor antagonists.

Evidence of gastrointestinal sensing and gut-brain communication in rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) in response to the aqueous extract of fishmeal and its free amino acid fraction

Jessica Calo, Jose L. Soengas, Jose J. Pastor, Ayelen M. Blanco, Sofia Morais

Summary: This study aimed to investigate the amino acid sensing capacity and hormone production in the gastrointestinal tract (GIT) of rainbow trout in response to proline, fishmeal amino acids, and fishmeal aqueous extract. The results showed that the presence of proline in the GIT led to changes in amino acid sensing systems and hormone production, especially in the proximal regions, accompanied by anorectic response in the hypothalamus. Both the fishmeal aqueous extract and the fishmeal amino acids induced anorectic responses in the hypothalamus, accompanied by increased production of anorectic hormones in the intestine.

Summary: This study found that high leucine diets reduce feed intake, growth, and hepatosomatic index in Atlantic salmon. It was also found that high leucine diets activate amino acid sensing mechanisms in the brain, which further affects the expression of genes related to appetite control.

Insulin Controls Clock Gene Expression in the Liver of Goldfish Probably via Pi3k/Akt Pathway

Nuria Saiz, Cristina Velasco, Nuria de Pedro, Jose Luis Soengas, Esther Isorna

Summary: This study aimed to investigate the potential role of insulin as an intake signal mediating liver entrainment in fish. The experiments showed that the presence of insulin directly increased the abundance of per1a and per2 transcripts in the fish liver. It was found that the involvement of the PI3K/AKT pathway is crucial for insulin-mediated liver entrainment.

Summary: In the past decade, the zebrafish has become an important model organism for studying behavior, neurological disorders, and metabolic diseases. This study used the zebrafish model to investigate how obesity induced by overfeeding affects emotional and cognitive processes. The results showed that obesity impaired short-term memory in zebrafish, but had no effect on anxiety-like behavior.

Summary: This study evaluated the impact of partial and total fishmeal replacement by insect meal on intermediary metabolism of European sea bass. The results showed that the selected insect meal can replace 50% of fishmeal without adversely affecting liver health or intermediary metabolism. However, total fishmeal replacement may compromise fish health in the long-term.
