Summary: The study illustrates that excessive lipid accumulation in farmed fish liver may be a protective response to exogenous fatty acids. Inhibition of DGAT1 and DGAT2 in grass carp hepatocytes shows that DGAT1 is responsible for lipid droplet formation while DGAT2 promotes lipid droplet fusion. This indicates a differential role of DGAT1 and DGAT2 in lipid metabolism and liver health in farmed fish.

Summary: The study showed that alginate oligosaccharide (AOS) can enhance growth performance, promote fat metabolism, and improve antioxidant capacity in grass carp. Transcriptomic analysis revealed that AOS activates pathways related to fatty metabolism and enhances the expression of genes associated with fat metabolism.

Summary: The study found that supplementation with Eucommia ulmoides bark and leaf has positive effects on the growth, lipid metabolism, and flesh quality of grass carp. The supplementation improved weight gain and feed conversion ratio. It also increased flesh hardness, water-holding capacity, collagen, DHA, and n-3PUFAs contents, while decreasing mesenteric lipid and muscle crude lipid contents. Additionally, it enhanced antioxidant capacity and reduced the levels of malondialdehyde and protein carbonyl in flesh. Transcriptome analysis revealed several key pathways and genes related to growth, lipid metabolism, and flesh quality.

Summary: Through transcriptome and metabolome sequencing, the study found that the susceptibility of grass carp to reovirus is influenced by age, with older grass carp showing stronger antiviral abilities. Genes involved in immune response, antigen presentation, and phagocytosis were significantly upregulated in older grass carp before and at the early stage of infection.

Summary: In grass carp, dietary supplementation of AOS increases the number of goblet cells in the intestine, activates fat metabolism-related pathways and genes, and alters the gut bacterial assembly. AOS diets also enhance the antioxidant resistance, down-regulate inflammatory cytokines, and up-regulate anti-inflammatory cytokines in the gut of grass carp. Moreover, AOS supplementation slightly reduces mortality in Aeromonas hydrophila infection.

Summary: This study investigated the toxic effects of persistent organic pollutant PFOS on grass carp hepatocytes and the potential of quercetin (QU) as a candidate medicine to alleviate PFOS toxicity. The study found that PFOS caused oxidative stress, mitochondrial dysfunction, and apoptosis, while QU was able to alleviate the toxicity induced by PFOS. Molecular docking revealed a high binding capacity between QU and AMPK. This study provides theoretical basis and a scheme for exploring the toxic mechanism and improving the economic benefits of aquaculture.

Summary: Research found that the growth rate of juvenile grass carp increased with feeding frequency, with higher liver and abdominal fat to body weight ratios in high feeding frequency groups and higher gut to body weight ratios in low feeding frequency groups. Serum glucose, triglycerides and total cholesterol levels increased with feeding frequency, while glycogen levels were higher in the 1 time/day group.

Summary: The research revealed significant gene expression variations in grass carp under high-temperature stress, with involvement of multiple genes in protein, lipid, and carbohydrate metabolism. Additionally, plasma urea nitrogen and tri-glyceride levels were significantly lower in the high-temperature treatment group compared to the control group.

Summary: This study found that early feeding of high-carbohydrate diets in fish aquaculture significantly increased body weight and altered the gut tissue structure of juvenile fish, while also impacting plasma metabolites and liver (muscle) glycogen storage. Long-term intake of high-carbohydrate feed may lead to nutritional deficiency and disordered glucose metabolism system.

Summary: In this study, juvenile female zebrafish were exposed to different concentrations of cadmium (Cd) and their physiological and biochemical endpoints were evaluated. The results showed that growth rate, spawning percentage, estrogen and vitellogenin levels decreased at lower Cd concentrations, but remained stable at higher concentrations. Additionally, the mRNA expression of 27 genes was sensitive to both continuous and intermittent Cd exposure, with vtg3 showing the highest sensitivity as a molecular biomarker.
