The effects of alginate oligosaccharides (AOs) on the growth performance and non-specific immunity of juvenile grass carp () were investigated by performing a 60-day feeding trial. Four trial diets were formulated and supplemented with different doses of AOs (0, 100, 200 and 400 mg/kg). Triplicate groups of grass carp were fed with one of the diets twice daily. Read More

Macrophages are crucial not only for initiation of inflammation and pathogen eradication (classically polarized M1 macrophages), but also for inflammation inhibition and tissue regeneration (alternatively polarized M2 macrophages). Their polarization toward the M1 population occurs under the influence of interferon-γ + lipopolysaccharide (IFN-γ + LPS), while alternatively polarized M2 macrophages evolve upon, e.g. Read More

In this study, the compound antimicrobial peptides was added to the basic diet to probe its effects on grass carp for 8 weeks. There were 6 groups in our study, including M0 (0 mg/kg) and 5 additional groups: M1 (100 mg/kg), M2 (200 mg/kg), M3 (400 mg/kg), M4 (800 mg/kg) and M5 (1600 mg/kg). The results are as follows: (1) The grass carp's FBW, WGR and SGR in M4 were significantly increased than M0 (p < 0. Read More

The use of herbal essential oils in aquafeeds is an important approach to maintain the fish health status. The origanum essential oil (OEO), extracted from Origanum vulgare, was included at levels of 0, 5, 10, 15, and 20 g per kg diet to evaluate its beneficial effects on antioxidant, immunity status, and expression of immune-related genes of common carp, Cyprinus carpio L. After 8 weeks, dietary inclusion of OEO significantly increased the activities of hepatic superoxide dismutase and catalase (P < 0. Read More

In vertebrates, IL-10 is an anti-inflammatory factor that serves as a key inhibitory role in a wide range of immune responses. IRAK1 (IL-1 receptor-associated kinase 1), a key molecule in the inflammatory signal of IL-1R/TLR, plays an important pivotal role in regulating the autoimmunity of body. STAT3 (Signal transducer and activator of transcription 3) activated by IRAK1 participates in inflammation, tumorigenesis, metabolic disorders and immune response. Read More
