Article Synopsis
- * Fish fed a high protein diet with TB supplementation showed improved intestinal enzyme activity and antioxidant capacity compared to those fed a standard fish meal diet, particularly at 0.1% TB.
- * Additionally, inflammation-related gene expressions were altered with TB supplementation, showing reduced levels of pro-inflammatory markers and varied responses in antioxidant gene expression, indicating potential health benefits from the right TB dosage.
Long noncoding RNA lincsc5d regulates hepatic cholesterol synthesis by modulating sterol C5 desaturase in large yellow croaker.

Article Synopsis
- A study was conducted to see how long noncoding RNA (lncRNA) affects cholesterol metabolism in large yellow croaker fish when fed different types of oils (fish oil, soybean oil, olive oil, and palm oil).
- Results indicated that olive oil and palm oil diets led to higher cholesterol levels in the fish's liver compared to fish oil diets, with specific pathways like steroid biosynthesis showing significant changes.
- A novel lncRNA named lincsc5d, associated with the cholesterol synthase gene sc5d, was discovered and found to be more prevalent in the tissues of fish fed with soybean, olive, and palm oils, suggesting their role in increasing cholesterol synthesis.
LDLR, as the uptake receptor of low-density lipoprotein, plays a crucial role in lipid metabolism. However, the detailed mechanism by which LDLR affects hepatic triglyceride (TG) accumulation has rarely been reported. Here, we found that knockdown of LDLR effectively mitigated PA-induced TG accumulation.

However, effects of dietary NPs exposure on liver lipid metabolism and muscle nutritional quality of carnivorous marine fish are not fully understood. In this study, a 21-day feeding test was conducted to simulate the food chain transfer of polystyrene nanoplastics (PS NPs) and then evaluate effects of different dietary PS NPs levels on the survival, growth performance, liver lipid metabolism, and muscle nutritional quality of large yellow croaker Larimichthys crocea.

Past studies seldom specified how high temperature-induced carbohydrate metabolism disturbances from both source and sink affect rice fertilization and production. Here we discuss the mechanism of heat-triggered damage to rice quality and production through disturbance of carbohydrate generation and consumption under high temperatures.
