Article Synopsis
- The study examined immune defense proteins in the skin mucus of Japanese flounder fed a high ascorbic acid (vitamin C) diet versus a control group on a standard diet.
- The analysis revealed that several proteins significantly increased in the high ascorbic acid group, with six specific proteins identified through advanced techniques.
- Among these, hemoglobin beta-A chain showed a remarkable increase in mRNA levels, suggesting that ascorbic acid boosts the fish's innate immune response in skin mucosal tissue.
