To date, few study explored the damage of chronic dietary exposure to the lipophilic pesticide deltamethrin (DM) in aquatic animals, and it remains unclear whether its toxicity and residue levels would be affected by dietary lipid levels. Therefore, the present study aimed to elucidate the interactions between dietary lipid levels and DM levels in the Pacific white shrimp, focusing on growth performance, antioxidant capacity, and intestinal microbiota. DM has excellent insecticidal activity and has been used worldwide. Previous research has shown that environmental DM poses toxicity risks to aquatic animals. Six different diets were formulated to feed shrimp for 6 weeks with two lipid levels (6.96 %, 10.88 %) and three DM levels (0.2 mg·kg, 1 mg·kg, 5 mg·kg), namely LF0.2, LF1, LF5, HF0.2, HF1, HF5, respectively. Each diet was assigned to three net cages with a total of 18 cages (40 shrimp per tank, average weight (0.382±0.001 g), of which 0.2 mg·kg, are grouped in environmental DM control groups. The growth of shrimp was reduced as the dietary DM levels increased. When shrimp were fed a diet containing a high dose of DM, a reduction in their antioxidant capacity was also observed. Enzyme activity and gene expression related to lipid metabolism in hepatopancreas and hemolymph indicated a significant interaction between dietary lipid levels and DM in the lipid metabolism of shrimp. The terms of detoxification-related genes (gst, sult, cyp1a1) were upregulated in shrimp fed the high-dose DM. Additionally, the presence of DM in the diet severely harmed the hepatopancreas and intestinal histological morphology. DM in the diet increased the susceptibility of shrimp to pathogens and induced intestine microbiota dysbiosis, disrupting the balance of inter-species interactions. DM was not detected in the muscle and hepatopancreas of the shrimp after six weeks of exposure. In conclusion, the presence of DM in feed reduced the growth performance and antioxidant capacity of shrimp, damaging intestinal health. DM was rapidly metabolized by shrimp.

Background: Low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) is a well-recognized risk factor for cardiovascular diseases. However, several clinical studies demonstrated an inverse association between LDL-C and mortality risk in patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI), known as the lipid paradox. This study aims to investigate the potential impact of inflammation on the association between LDL-C levels and mortality risks.

The research aimed to evaluate the effects of a commercial blend of phytogenic compounds on the digestibility, antioxidant system, intestinal microbiota, and performance of weaned piglets. Two experiments compared three treatments (diets): control, zinc bacitracin (300 g/t) and blended phytogenic compounds (400 g/t). The first experiment analised of digestibility of the dry matter, organic matter, crude protein, crude energy and metabolizable energy, in addition to blood parameters and gut microbiota in 15 piglets commercial cross-bred, weaned at 28 days of age, castrated males, weighing 9.

The effects of incorporating Illipe nut into the diet of pigs, in replacement of yellow maize, on their growth performance and meat quality was investigated in a 60 days feeding trial. Twenty-four male pigs were divided into two treatments and fed diets with 0% (T1) or 15% (T2) Illipe nut inclusion. Feed intake, live weight (LW) and backfat thickness (BFT) were taken and used to calculate average daily feed intake (ADFI), average daily gain (ADG), feed conversion ratio (FCR) and increase in backfat (IBF).

Background And Aim: Recent Mendelian randomization and meta analysis suggest a controversial causality between C3-epimer of 25 hydroxyvitamin D3 (C3-epi-D3) and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). The clinical evidence regarding the impact of C3-epi-D3 on the progression of T2DM is currently insufficient. This study aims to investigate whether C3-epi-D3 has any effect on metabolic disorders of T2DM patients.

In this study, nine isonitrogenous experimental diets containing graded level of carbohydrates (40 g/kg, 80 g/kg and 120 g/kg) and crude lipid (80 g/kg, 120 g/kg, and 160 g/kg) were formulated in a two-factor (3×3) orthogonal design. 945 mandarin fish with similar body weight were randomly assigned into 27 tanks and the experiment diets were fed to triplicate tanks twice daily for 10 weeks. Results showed that different dietary treatments did not significantly affect survival rate and growth performance of mandarin fish.
