Transcriptomic responses to functional feeds in Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar)

Effects of dietary Bacillus cereus G19, B. cereus BC-01, and Paracoccus marcusii DB11 supplementation on the growth, immune response, and expression of immune-related genes in coelomocytes and intestine of the sea cucumber (Apostichopus japonicus Selenka)

“…Modulation of the immune system is also one of the most common benefits of probiotics supplementation to aquatic animals [37]. It has been shown that various probiotics can serve as nonspecific immune factors, such as flagellin, lipopolysaccharides, peptidoglycan, and cytokines that are recognized by intestine mucosal cell surface receptor and activated the host immune system [38e41].…”

Effect of nutrition and Enteromyxum leei infection on gilthead sea bream Sparus aurata intestinal carbohydrate distribution

“…ns: non-significant (p > 0.05) especially with regard to health aspects (reviewed in Harikrishnan et al 2011, Tacchi et al 2011). The present study was focused on one aspect of gut health, the mucin pattern of the intestine of gilthead sea bream, because of the importance of mucins in many disease processes in which the interaction of epithelial cells and their surroundings has been altered (Gendler & Spicer 1995, Perez-Vilar & Hill 1999.…”

Zebrafish as animal model for aquaculture nutrition research

“…These studies have generated a list of genes that are over/under expressed in response to vegetable diets in different development stages of fish (Douglas, 2006; Panserat et al, 2008; Von Schalburg et al, 2008; Alami-Durante et al, 2010; Tacchi et al, 2011). However, the results obtained in the many nutritional studies are commonly difficult to compare among each other.…”
