Summary: The objective of this study was to investigate the effect of dietary taurine on lipid metabolism and liver injury in mice fed a diet high in oxidized fish oil. The results showed that dietary taurine could ameliorate liver injury and lipid metabolism disorder caused by the oxidized fish oil diet. Taurine supplementation improved liver function, reduced lipid levels in serum, and increased the expression of genes related to lipid metabolism in the liver. Furthermore, impaired autophagy flux caused by the oxidized fish oil diet was prevented by taurine.

Summary: This study showed that dietary supplementation of DL-Met or MHACa can significantly improve the growth performance and feed utilization of common carp, increase the concentration of free essential amino acids in serum, enhance taurine synthesis and protein synthesis. Furthermore, DL-Met significantly increased the expression of CDO and CSD, and the research also found that the bioavailability of MHA-Ca in common carp is lower compared to DL-Met.

Summary: This study found significant changes in the metabolic profiles of shrimp at different stages of infection, with diseased shrimp showing high levels of taurine and moribund shrimp showing high levels of hypoxanthine. There was also a strong negative correlation between taurine levels and the relative abundance of Vibrio parahaemolyticus and Vibrio harveyi. Exogenous supplementation of taurine enhanced the survival of shrimp against V. parahaemolyticus infection.

Summary: This study evaluated the dietary requirement of niacin and its effects on the growth, feed utilization, immunity, and disease resistance of Pacific white shrimp. The results showed that increasing niacin levels in the diet improved the growth performance, feed utilization efficiency, and disease resistance of the shrimp. The optimum niacin requirement for Pacific white shrimp was estimated to be around 130 mg/kg diet.

Summary: This study aimed to determine the dietary riboflavin requirement and its effects on the growth performance, feed utilization, innate immunity, and diet digestibility of Litopenaeus vannamei. The results showed that riboflavin significantly improved the growth performance, non-specific immunity, and intestinal morphology of the shrimp, with an optimal riboflavin requirement of approximately 40.9 mg/kg diet.

Summary: As it is difficult to reduce PM2.5 concentrations to safe levels in a short period of time, dietary supplementation is a promising approach for mitigating the adverse effects of PM2.5 exposure. This study examined the protective effects of taurine and fish oil supplementation on heart dysfunction induced by PM2.5 exposure in aged mice. The results showed that supplementation with taurine and fish oil maintained normal taurine levels, suppressed oxidative stress and inflammation, and improved cardiac function in aged mice exposed to high concentrations of PM2.5.

Summary: Leucine promotes protein deposition and glucose metabolism through the TOR signaling pathway in Pacific white shrimp. Appropriate dietary leucine supplementation improves protein synthesis and glucose utilization by maintaining the integrity of hepatopancreas. The leucine requirement of Litopenaeus vannamei is estimated to be 2.60%-2.67% of the diet (6.67%-6.88% of dietary protein) based on regression analysis.

Summary: The type of dietary non-protein energy source can affect the size and synthesis of the total body bile acid pool in rainbow trout. Feeding a starch diet results in a larger bile acid pool size and higher bile acid synthesis compared to a fat diet, despite higher faecal bile acid loss. This suggests a potential regulatory mechanism in response to dietary changes that warrants further investigation.

Summary: The sediment microbial communities in aquaculture ponds with polyculture of shrimp and fish (PolySF) were found to be distinctive from those in ponds with intensive shrimp (IS) and fish (IF) monoculture patterns. The microbial alpha diversity was higher in PolySF compared to IF, but lower than IS. Factors like oxidation reduction potential, total phosphate, and total organic carbon were important in shaping the sediment microbiota in different aquaculture patterns.

Summary: Lipid metabolism disorders are serious public health issues, and taurine has been found to regulate lipid metabolism through various physiological effects. However, the mechanisms underlying the lipid-lowering action of taurine remain unclear. This review focuses on the role of taurine in lipid metabolism and discusses taurine-related interventions for combating lipid disorders.

Summary: The study evaluated the effects of adding a soy lecithin-containing bioemulsifier Lysomax(R) to diets of adult Nile tilapia fed soybean meal-based diets. Results showed that incorporating Lysomax improved growth rates, feed utilization efficiency, digestive enzymes activities, blood parameters, liver function enzymes, and immunological responses. The highest performance was observed at around 0.45g/kg dietary Lysomax, suggesting that this level is sufficient for optimal performance and health of farmed Nile tilapia.

Summary: Vitamin E plays a crucial role in farmed fish, providing antioxidant protection, improving immune response and growth performance, reducing muscle degeneration and atherosclerosis risk, enhancing reproductive efficiency and product quality. Consideration should be given to the interaction of VE with vitamin C and selenium, as well as lipid content in feed when supplementing VE.
