“…The total number of WBCs increased in the groups fed oyster mushroom extract–supplemented diets compared with the control group within the first week of feeding the experimental diets. This is in agreement with the results of Yeganeh et al () who reported that the WBC count was significantly higher in O. mykiss when fed diets supplemented with the cyanobacterium, Spirulina platensis . A lot of data have been published showing that natural products can act as immunostimulants and increase total WBCs (Binaii et al ; Sirimanapong et al ).…”

“…In this study, hematocrit values did not demonstrate any significant difference among the three groups, including the control group. Previous studies have demonstrated similar results with other fish species (Sirimanapong et al ; Yeganeh et al ). WBCs are well known as one of the body defenses against infectious agents caused by microbial factors (Talpur and Ikhwanuddin ).…”

“…Exploring new methods for preventing infectious diseases has become very urgent in aquaculture. In fish, use of mushroom, herbal extracts or their products such as Lupinus perennis , Mangifera indica , Urtica dioica (Awad and Austin ), Camellia sinensis (Sheikhzadeh et al ), Pleurotus ostreatus (Dobšíková et al ), Nigella sativa (Awad et al ), and Spiruluna platensis (Yeganeh et al ) have been documented to enhance the immune response and disease resistance against bacterial pathogens (Nya and Austin , ; Awad and Austin ; Baba et al ).…”

The current study investigated the effects of oyster mushroom Pleurotus ostreatus, extract on immunological and hematological parameters of rainbow trout, Oncorhynchus mykiss. The fish were fed diets containing 0 (control), 1, and 2% supplementation of the oyster mushroom extract for 6 wk. Blood samples were collected weekly for the first 6 weeks. After 6 wk of feeding, the fish were challenged with Lactococcus garvieae and mortality was recorded. The results of this study showed that feeding rainbow trout an oyster mushroom extract–supplemented diet stimulated phagocytic activity of phagocytic cells, lysozyme activity, and myeloperoxidase activity in serum, but it did not significantly affect the total serum immunoglobulin level. At the same time, a significant increase was found in the number of neutrophils, monocytes, and total white blood cells. Fish fed the diet supplemented with oyster mushroom extract showed reduced mortalities following L. garvieae infection compared with controls. These results show that supplementation of fish diets with oyster mushroom extract at 1 and 2% concentrations significantly imrpoves hematological parameters and modulates the immune response against L. garvieae in rainbow trout.

“…However, in the current study, no differences were found in glucose levels between the different treatments. Studies in rainbow trout ( O. mykiss ), have found a reduction in both cortisol and glucose with A. platensis supplementation (0%–10%; Yeganeh, Teimouri, & Amirkolaie, ).…”

Effect ofArthrospirasupplementation onOreochromis niloticusgut microbiota and flesh quality

et al. 2019

Supplementing fish feed with Arthrospira platensis has several beneficial effects, such as improved growth, survival and feed conversion, but little is known about how it affects gut microbiota or flesh quality. In this trial, feed with 3% A. platensis was given to Oreochromis niloticus (SPR, spirulina supplemented) over a period of 50 days and their gut microbiota and flesh quality were compared with controls (CTRs, no supplementation). Average daily growth was higher in SPR fish (p < 0.05). Regarding microbiota, a total of 5,470,272 readings (individuals) were obtained from 16 gut samples (n = 8 CTR, n = 8 SPR), with a gamma diversity of 1,563 species but no significant differences were found between treatments. Among the high inter‐individual variability found, some individual microbiota were dominated by Proteobacteria (36.6%) and Fusobacteria (32.9%) and others more by Actinobacteria (37%). Regarding flesh quality, significant differences were observed in flesh colour post‐mortem (a*, b* and chroma) (p < 0.05), with higher reflectance in the range of 470–500 and 620–670 nm in SPR tilapia, which corresponds with the reflectance range of β‐carotene and phycocyanin. However, rigor mortis was resolved earlier in SPR fish (p < 0.05), which suggests a shorter shelf life. Adding 3% of A. platensis in O. niloticus diet can improve growth and flesh colour and does not appear to modify intestinal microbiota.

“…platensis has a hypocholesterolemic effect due to its C-phycocyanin component. It was reported that C-phycocyanin inhibits the reabsorption of bile acids in the ileum and also cholesterol in the jejunum [78][79][80]. In some studies, humans using S. platensis supplements showed lower results in cholesterol and triacylglycerol levels, and an increase in high-density lipoprotein levels.…”

Superfood and Functional Food - The Development of Superfoods and Their Roles as Medicine

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Our planet's resources have been declining, as you know. The life qualities of humans have also changed a little because of their economy, nutrition, sports, and family life. Therefore, more alternative resources are being sought after by humans. Also, in the food supply for animals, scientists have been researching different and alternative supplements for growth performance, immunity, reproduction, and metabolism. Spirulina platensis and its contents have been linked to a nutritional component in both human and animal health and welfare. Growth and immunomodulation properties of this supplement have been widely studied in animals and humans, recently. Nowadays, nutritional specifics of S. platensis are a main focus for researchers. S. platensis is a singlecell protein due to its rich components, such as protein, essential amino acids, fatty acids, antioxidant pigments, carotenoids, beta-carotene, and phycocyanin. Today, researchers study the nutritional quality and investigate the effects of S. platensis on growth, immunity, antioxidant, antitoxicologic, anticancerogenic, cholesterol and glucose metabolism, and fertility. For these reasons, S. platensis may be acceptable as an alternative and/or superfood for the next generation. So, we review this information regarding S. platensis using historical background, literature reviews, qualitative studies, and microscopic appearances in this chapter.
