Antioxidant Capacity And Metabolic Response Of Red Striped Snapper Lutjanus Erythropterus Fed Diet With Astaxanthin And/Or Oxidized Oil, Isagani P. Angeles, Jr., Yew-Hu Chien
Journal of Marine Science and Technology
This study evaluated the effects of astaxanthin (AX) on antioxidant capacity, metabolic response, and liver AX concentration of red striped snapper (Lutjanus erythropterus) (20.05 1.65 g) fed with a diet with or without high dosage of oxidized oil (OX). The commercial diet served as control (C). Fish were fed with a diet containing 240 mg/kg AX, 100 ml/kg OX, or combination of 240 mg/kg AX and 100 ml/kg OX (AX OX) for a day. Antioxidant capacity (superoxide dismutase, glutathione peroxidase, and glutathione reductase) and metabolic response (glucose, triglycerides, and lactate) were monitored at 0, 6, 12, 24, 48 …
