“…Activation of non-specific defense mechanisms is evident by increased TAC, GSH-Px, reactive oxygen, and nitrogen species, which can prevent the oxidation of other molecules, and protect the organism from oxidative damage, reduce lipid hydroperoxides (Liu et al 2010). Malondialdehyde is the end-product of lipid peroxidation, which causes toxic stress in cells and is used as a biomarker to measure the level of oxidative stress (Liu et al 2011).…”

This study was conducted to evaluate the effect of ethanolic extract of propolis (EEP) on growth performance and plasma biochemical parameters of rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss). Graded levels of EEP [0 (control), 1, 2, and 4 g kg(-1) diet] were fed to trout juveniles (mean weight 7.73 ± 0.17 g) for 10 weeks. Dietary EEP supplementation regardless of inclusion level significantly improved the specific growth rate of fish. Similarly, supplemental EEP generally improved the feed efficiency ratio and protein efficiency ratio, but no significant differences were observed between the 1 g kg(-1) EEP group and the control group. In addition, dietary EEP supplementation generally increased the plasma superoxide dismutase, lysozyme, total antioxidant capacity, glutathione peroxidase, and catalase activities, but decreased the plasma malondialdehyde level. The plasma triglycerides level was significantly lower in the 1 or 4 g kg(-1) EEP group as compared with the control group. Dietary EEP supplementation generally decreased the plasma aspartate aminotransferase and alanine aminotransferase activities, but increased the hepatic aspartate aminotransferase and alanine aminotransferase activities. These results indicate the potential to use the EEP as a growth promoter, hepatoprotective agent, and immunostimulant for rainbow trout.

“…A diet with heartleaf moonseed (leaf) extracts at 0.0008% protected Oreochromis mossambicus against Aeromonas hydrophila (Sudhakaran et al, 2006). A diet supplemented with 0.05%, 0.1%, 0.2%, and 0.4% anthraquinone extract enhanced the lysozyme, alkaline phosphatise and total antioxidative capacity of Macrobrachium rosenbergii, but did not increase nitrogen monoxide concentrations and glutathione peroxidase activities (Liu et al, 2010). The optimal doses of Astragalus were 0.1% and 0.5% of diet with a suitable feeding period of 3 weeks for Nile tilapia (Yin et al, 2006).…”

Some herbs used in aquaculture are in the form of extract compounds such as Astragalus radix (from Astragalus membranaceus) and Scutellaria radix (from Scutellaria baicalensis) (Yin et al, 2006), and anthraquinone extract (from Rheum officinale Bail) (Liu et al, 2010) are commonly used in aquaculture because of their ability to enhance fish immune systems.…”

“…(Zhang et al, 2013) and black tiger shrimp, Penaeus monodon Chien et al, 2003) fed diets supplemented with astaxanthin. Increased TAC may protect the organism from oxidative damage and reduce lipid hydroperoxides (Liu et al, 2010). In the present study, dietary astaxanthin generally enhanced plasma TAC activity, indicating that supplemental astaxanthin enhances antioxidant ability.…”

This study was designed to test the effects of dietary supplementation of fermented soybean meal (FSM) with Phaffia rhodozyma on growth, muscle pigmentation, and antioxidant activities of juvenile rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss).Solid fermented soybean meal with P. rhodozyma (FSPH) contained 500 ppm astaxanthin was used as the natural source of astaxanthin in the present study. Four isonitrogenous and isocaloric diets were formulated to contain 0, 50, 75, and 100 ppm astaxanthin (designated as FSPH0, FSPH50, FSPH75 and FSPH100, respectively). Each experimental diet was fed to triplicate groups of fish (18.5 g/fish) to visual satiation twice daily for 10 weeks. Growth performance and proximate composition of muscle were not affected by dietary treatments. Total carotenoid and astaxanthin concentrations in muscle of fish were not affected by dietary treatments. Redness (a*) values of muscle from fish fed the FSPH50, FSPH75, and FSPH100 diets were significantly higher than those fed the FSPH0 diet. Plasma and liver DPPH, hydroxyl, and alkyl radical scavenging activities were not affected by dietary treatments. Plasma total antioxidant capacity of fish fed the FSPH50 diet was significantly higher than that of the FSPH0 group. Fish fed the supplemented diets showed significantly lower catalase activity compare to those fed the unsupplemented control diet. Plasma superoxide dismutase activity in fish fed the FSPH100 diet was significantly lower than that of fish fed the FSPH75 diet. These results suggest that the combination of FSM and P. rhodozyma is a good source of astaxanthin, and that a diet containing 10% of this mixture (equal to 50 ppm astaxanthin) could successfully improve muscle pigmentation and antioxidant status of juvenile rainbow trout.
