“…Previous studies reported that diets with Gelidium amansii, Gracilaria tenuistipitata extract and zingerone extracted from ginger can enhance the immunity against Vibrio infection of L. vannamei [24,40,41], and supplement with marine blue green algae Spirulina platensis and G. tenuistipitata extract in diets can reduce the mortality of WSSV-infected L. vannamei [42]. In the present study, after 48e144 h of either V. alginolyticus or WSSV challenges, all the survival rates of L. vannamei fed G. bicolor diets at 0.5, 1.0, and 2.0 g (kg diet) À1 for 28 days were significantly higher than the shrimp fed the control diet.…”

“…It exerts its function by hydrolyzing the b-1,4 glycosidic bond of bacterial cell wall peptidoglycans, and acts as a crucial biodefense reactor during innate immunity [23]. These parameters have been reported in the white shrimp Litopenaeus vannamei [24]. With the development of intensive culture and the ecologic environmental deterioration, the shrimp culture industry has been beset with diseases mainly caused by viruses and bacteria, and has suffered significant economic losses [25].…”

Sexual selection in true fruit flies (Diptera:Tephritidae): transcriptome and experimental evidences for phytochemicals increasing male competitive ability

et al. 2014

In male tephritid fruit flies of the genus Bactrocera, feeding on secondary plant compounds (sensu lato male lures = methyl eugenol, raspberry ketone and zingerone) increases male mating success. Ingested male lures alter the male pheromonal blend, normally making it more attractive to females and this is considered the primary mechanism for the enhanced mating success. However, the male lures raspberry ketone and zingerone are known, across a diverse range of other organisms, to be involved in increasing energy metabolism. If this also occurs in Bactrocera, then this may represent an additional benefit to males as courtship is metabolically expensive and lure feeding may increase a fly's short-term energy. We tested this hypothesis by performing comparative RNA-seq analysis between zingerone-fed and unfed males of Bactrocera tryoni. We also carried out behavioural assays with zingerone- and cuelure-fed males to test whether they became more active. RNA-seq analysis revealed, in zingerone-fed flies, up-regulation of 3183 genes with homologues transcripts to those known to regulate intermale aggression, pheromone synthesis, mating and accessory gland proteins, along with significant enrichment of several energy metabolic pathways and gene ontology terms. Behavioural assays show significant increases in locomotor activity, weight reduction and successful mating after mounting; all direct/indirect measures of increased activity. These results suggest that feeding on lures leads to complex physiological changes, which result in more competitive males. These results do not negate the pheromone effect, but do strongly suggest that the phytochemical-induced sexual selection is governed by both female preference and male competitive mechanisms.

“…It also contains vitamins A and vitamin B 3 (niacin) [11]. Ginger rhizome contains different active ingredients, these include; ginger oil and gingerols, which can be converted to shogaols, zingerone and paradol [12]. Z. officinale root is important to growth and immune systems in aquatic animals [13], it is important in fish diet in that it control infection, proliferation in the numbers of neutrophils, macrophages and lymphocytes and enhanced phagocytic and lysozyme activity [14].…”

Growth, haematology and histopathology are important indices in evaluating the health and physiological state of fish. These metabolic and health indices were examined in Clarias gariepinus fed with Zingiber officinale (ginger) roots-powder supplemented diets in 40-litre freshwater-filled plastic tanks. 120 C. gariepinus fingerlings (weight, 2.33±0.07g) were fed with 40% crude protein diets containing three concentrations of Zingiber officinale roots-powder: GRP1-1%; GRP2-2%; GRP3-3%, and control-0% ad libitum twice daily for 12 weeks. Significant differences (p < 0.05) occurred in the growth parameters except feed conversion ratio and specific growth rate. Survival rate decreased as concentration of powder increased. Differences (p<0.05) seen in packed cell volume (PCV), Haemoglobin (Hb), and Red blood cell (RBC), thus highest in GRP3: PCV (37.00±1.16%), Hb (12.37±0.37g/dl) and RBC (3.47±0.08 x 10 6 /l) and lowest in control: PCV (22.00±0.58%), Hb (7.37±0.20g/dl) and RBC (2.07±0.06 x 10 6 /l). Liver histology of control fish was normal, while fatty degenerations were seen in the treated fish. The histology of fish kidney was normal in all treatments. The study concluded that 1% ginger root-powder dietary supplementation in cultured C. gariepinus could effectively improve the metabolic activities, health profile and survival of the fish.
