“…Moreover, blood glucose level serves as stress-sensitive indicator. Fish exposed to external stressors release hormones such as adrenaline and cortisol, triggering glycogenesis and glycogenolysis pathways, consequently elevating glucose production [57]. In our experimental results, significant alterations were observed in the levels of ALT, AST, total serum protein, and blood glucose across different Spirulina supplementation levels.…”

HE present investigation was designed to verify the effect of using Spirulina platensis (Sp) on growth performance, blood biochemical parameters, and expressions of growth hormone (GH), growth hormone receptor (GHR), insulin-like growth factor1 (IGF-1), insulin-like growth factor 2 (IGF-2), and myostatin (MSTN) genes in Nile tilapia. A total of 96 fingerlings (12 ± 0.2 g) were randomly allocated into eight groups, each containing 12 fish, and fed diets containing 0%, 1% (10 g), 2% (20 g), and 3% (30 g) SP/kg for 8 weeks. Significant improvements in growth were observed in the 1% SP group, with the best feed conversion rate at 1.09. Biochemical parameters, including serum protein, globulin, liver enzymes (ALT and AST), cholesterol, and glucose concentrations, were analyzed using a spectrophotometer for calorimetric analysis. Higher serum protein and globulin levels were observed in the 1% SP group compared to the control. RT-PCR analysis indicated elevated GH expression in the brain and muscles, along with increased IGF-1 and IGF-2 levels observed in the liver and muscle tissues of the 1% SP group compared to the control and other treatments. However, there was a positive correlation between the 1% SP diet and enhanced MSTN mRNA levels in muscle tissues. Except for higher ether extract (EE) in the 2% SP treatment, there were no significant changes in fish survival or body composition. Overall, this study recommends utilizing 1% SP as a dietary supplement to improve growth, feed utilization, biochemical parameters, and growth-related gene expressions in Nile tilapia.

“…Several studies have shown that medicinal herbs can ameliorate heavy metals' harmful effects and oxidative stress. These herbs include Egyptian leek (Authman et al 2021), fenugreek seeds (Abbas et al 2019a, b), and curcumin (Abbas et al 2019c).…”

The present study investigated the protective effects of dietary Allium cepa against Saprolegnia parasitica infections and the amelioration of cadmium-induced immunosuppression in Oreochromis niloticus. Saprolegnia isolates were recovered during an outbreak of saprolegniasis in farmed O. niloticus raised in a poor aquatic environment. Isolates were identified phenotypically as S. parasitica. Results were confirmed further by ITS gene sequencing. Four fish groups were kept in water with cadmium (1.5 mg/L) and fed for 30 days on a diet supplemented with crude or alcoholic extracts of A. cepa using two concentrations (0.5% or 1%). Positive (with Cd) and negative (without Cd) control fish groups were given the basal diet. The 96 h LC50 value of Cd in tilapia was (15.1 mg/L Cd). Fish exposed to Cd showed poor growth performance parameters, abnormal biochemical measurements, impaired immunological responses, and high oxidative stress indicators. Feeding tilapia on A. cepa-supplemented diets enhanced their growth performance (WG, SGR) and improved the nonspecific immune responses (WBCs, total protein, globulins, lysozyme, myeloperoxidase, and antiproteases). The inclusion of A. cepa in the diets reduced the oxidative stress (GST, SOD) and significantly decreased fish mortality after the challenge with S. parasitica. Dietary supplementation with A. cepa reduced cadmium accumulation in fish organs and up-regulated IL-1β and IFNɣ levels. The most favorable benefits were obtained by the addition of 0.5% A. cepa extract. Our results highlight the immunostimulatory properties of A. cepa dietary supplementation for farmed tilapia and recommend its use prophylactically to control saprolegniasis and mitigate cadmium adverse effects.
