Dietary bile acids reduce liver lipid deposition via activating farnesoid X receptor, and improve gut health by regulating gut microbiota in Chinese perch (Siniperca chuatsi).

The aim of this study is to explore the effects of dietary bile acids (BAs) supplementation on lipid metabolism and gut health of Chinese perch (Siniperca chuatsi), and its possible mechanisms. Two isonitrogenous and isolipidic diets were formulated to supplement different levels of BAs (0 and 900 mg BAs kg diet, respectively). All fish (Initial mean body weight: 171.

Effects of dietary carbohydrate to lipid ratios on growth, biochemical indicators, lipid metabolism, and appetite in Chinese perch (Siniperca chuatsi).

An 8-week feeding trial was conducted to evaluate the effects of dietary carbohydrate to lipid (CHO:L) ratios on growth performance, body composition, serum biochemical indexes, lipid metabolism, and gene expression of central appetite regulating factors in Chinese perch (Siniperca chuatsi) (mean initial weight: 12.86 ± 0.10 g).
