Basal diet containing 0.5, 1.0, 1.5 and 2.0 g kg−1 mixture of inosine monophosphate (IMP), adenosine monophosphate (AMP), guanosine monophosphate (GMP), uridine monophosphate (UMP) and cytidine monophosphate (CMP) (1 : 1 : 1 : 1 : 1) (mixed‐NT; Experiment 1) and 1.5 g kg−1 from each nucleotides and mixed‐nucleotides (NT; Experiment 2) were fed to triplicate groups of grouper for 8 weeks. Basal diet without NT was used as control in both Experiments. In Experiment 1, fish fed the diet with 1.5 g mixed‐NT kg−1 had higher (P < 0.05) weight gain (WG) than the control group. The superoxide anion (O2−) production ratio was higher in fish fed diets with 1.0–1.5 g mixed‐NT kg−1 than the fish fed diets with ≤0.5 g mixed‐NT kg−1. In Experiment 2, fish fed diets with nucleotides had higher WG than the control group. The O2− production ratio was higher in fish fed the diet with 1.5 g AMP kg−1, followed by fish fed diets with 1.5 g UMP and mixed‐NT kg−1, and lowest in the control group. These results suggest that growth and immune responses were enhanced in grouper fed diet with 1.5 g mixed‐NT kg−1 diet. Diet with 1.5 g kg−1 of AMP seems to be more beneficial on the immune responses in fish than other nucleotides.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
