Comparison of the concentrations of serum nitric oxide; malonaldhyde; total protein and its electrophoretical profile in Nile catfish Clarias lazera after supplementation with probiotic for 45 days either 1 time/week (W 1 ) all over the experiment or 3 times/week for the 1 st two weeks then 1 time/week till the end of the experiment (W 3 ) were investigated. Probiotic supplementation affects on both serum nitric oxide and malonaldhyde. No effect of probiotic supplementation on serum total protein.Twelve fractions were resolved of which 10 and 11 were the maximum numbers that appeared with consistency in females and males respectively. Polymorphism appeared in both males and females of the initial; control; W 1 and W 3 groups. Probiotic feeding altered the relative density of resolved serum protein fractions. In both W 1 and W 3 groups, the 9 th fraction recorded higher values in both sexes, while fractions # 10 and 11 (in γ-globulin area) recorded lower values in both sexes. The relative densities of fractions # 5; 7 and 9-12 were significantly affected by probiotic supplementation.Our study indicated that probiotic supplementation to fish diet is not a long-term effect and preferred to be added periodically according to farm management.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
