The metabolic regulation of dietary L‐carnitine in aquaculture nutrition: present status and future research strategies

Abstract: L-carnitine is a multi-functional nutrient which plays a leading role in fatty acid metabolism in mammals and other eukaryotes. Its main physiological function is to promote fatty acid b-oxidation to produce energy, which reduces body fat content and improves body weight without affecting moisture content in whole body and muscle. In recent years, its dietary supplementation in aquaculture nutrition has been studied in different cultured species. It has been proved that L-carnitine can improve growth and incre… Show more

“…The main pathway of fatty acid catabolism is β-oxidation in mitochondrial matrix and peroxisome (48) . Both CPT and ACO are key enzymes of fatty acid β-oxidation; CPTI can participate in long-chain fatty acid oxidation, catalysing the conversion of fatty acid CoA to fatty acid carnitines for entering the mitochondrial matrix, and the fatty acyl group is transferred back to CoA by a second enzyme, CPTII (49,50) . ACO is the rate-limiting enzyme for fatty acid β-oxidation in peroxisomes (48) .…”

“…Two gene-knockout models (cpt1b −/− and pparab −/− ) were generated. Carnitine acyltransferase 1b (cpt1b) is a limiting enzyme of fatty acid β-oxidation, which plays a crucial role in transferring long-chain fatty acid from CoA to carnitine for oxidation in the mitochondrion (Li et al, 2018). Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor α is one of the nuclear receptors that promotes fatty acid β-oxidation and regulates lipid homeostasis (Madureira et al, 2017).…”

“…Our results provide new insights into the regulatory roles of PPARα in metabolic homeostasis and fuel selection in fish. Moreover, unlike mammals, which use carbohydrate as the main energy source, fish preferentially use protein and lipid for energy production and have a poor ability to utilize dietary carbohydrates (Li et al 2019), suggesting the existence of different metabolic patterns between fish and mammals. Therefore, our pparab-knockout zebrafish could also provide a valuable model for understanding the functions of PPARα in different species from the aspects of comparative physiology.…”
