To search for the most effective dietary n-3/n-6 ratio to suppress the type I allergic response, we performed basic experiments that applied parameters, associated with the type I allergy. Guinea pigs fed on diets containing lipids with the n-3/n-6 ratio at different levels and the polyunsaturated fatty acid/saturated fatty acid ratio of a fixed level were sensitized with ovalbumin and reared for two weeks. The lowest or critical level of the n-3/n-6 ratio which produced a significant difference in the parameters was as follows: about 2.0 for the response of mast cells and eosinophils; 0.5 and 1.0, respectively, for the uptake of n-3 and n-6 polyunsaturated fatty acids and decreased histamine production; and 0.2 for decreased leukotriene B4 and total leukotrienes 4, and increased leukotrienes 5/leukotrienes 4. The critical level of the n-3/n-6 ratio thus differed widely according to the parameter. Overall, the upper limit for the dietary n-3/n-6 ratio to suppress antigen-induced type I allergic responses is suggested to be around 1.0.

(TM) meal is a potential alternative ingredient to plant and fishmeal in aquafeeds due to its high protein content, digestibility, and low environmental impact. However, its low n-3 PUFA (EPA and DHA) content represents one of its main limitations. This study evaluated the effects of replacing fishmeal and plant-derived ingredients (plant proteins and soybean oil) with full-fat TM meal on the growth performance and lipid composition of tissues in juvenile European seabass ().

Fatty acids are a requirement for normal development, however, since humans are unable to de novo produce essential fatty acids, they must be obtained from diet. Atlantic salmon is a major dietary source of nutritious and digestible fatty acids. Here, we set out to uncover the genomic basis of individual fatty acids and indices (saturated fatty acids, monounsaturated fatty acids, polyunsaturated fatty acids, n-3, and n-6) in 208 North American Atlantic salmon, to understand selection potential toward increasing relative quantities of essential fatty acids and to identify candidate genes for future research.

Article Synopsis
- The study investigated the effects of chia seeds on fat accumulation and insulin sensitivity in rats fed a sucrose-rich diet.
- The results indicated that chia seeds helped reduce harmful changes in the extracellular matrix and inflammation in fat tissues.
- They also led to positive alterations in certain protein levels, suggesting chia seeds may have benefits for managing visceral fat and improving insulin response.
Article Synopsis
- This study explored how replacing fish meal in shrimp diets with chlorella meal affects their growth, feed efficiency, and meat quality.
- The research showed that substituting up to 25% of fish meal with chlorella had no negative impact on shrimp growth and feed utilization.
- However, replacing 50% or more of fish meal significantly decreased growth factors and essential amino acid content, which indicates limitations to the level of substitution for optimal shrimp quality.
In the present study, we conducted a 10-week culture experiment to investigate the effects of taurine on the growth performance, antioxidant properties, and muscle quality of the common carp fed an oxidized lipid diet. There were five experimental groups with three replicates each. Based on the fresh fish oil group (FO), equal amounts of oxidized fish oil (with a thiobarbituric acid-reactive substances value of 49.
