Article Synopsis
- The study examined how different dietary leucine levels affect insulin signaling, glucose metabolism, and fat production in juvenile fish over 8 weeks, finding that the optimal level was 1.72%.
- At this optimal level, beneficial changes in mRNA expressions related to insulin signaling were observed, improving plasma insulin and reducing plasma glucose by enhancing key glucose metabolism proteins.
- In contrast, excessive leucine (2.94%) negatively impacted these processes, leading to increased plasma glucose and triglyceride levels due to inhibited glycometabolism and altered lipogenesis.
The present study assessed the effects of dietary arginine on intestinal antioxidant status and immunity involved in Nrf2 and NF-κB signaling pathway in juvenile blunt snout bream. Fish were fed three practical diets with graded arginine levels (0.87%, 1.
