Dietary vitamin D3 requirement of Wuchang bream (Megalobrama amblycephala)

Effect of dietary vitamin D levels on growth, serum biochemical parameters, lipid metabolism enzyme activities, fatty acid synthase and hepatic lipase mRNA expression for orange‐spotted grouper ( Epinephelus coioides ) in growth mid‐stage

“…In this study, the content of HDL in serum increased with the dietary VD supplementation levels, meanwhile, serum TG and CHOL content significantly decreased. These findings were partly similar to those found in O. niloticus (Yu et al., 2018) and M. amblycephala (Miao et al., 2015). Combined with the previous studies and the results of this experiment, it was concluded that supplementing adequate amounts of VD in diet could effectively lower the lipid concentration and prevent hyperlipidemia in serum.…”

“…All these four enzymes participate in the catabolism of liver lipids, but with the increase of VD levels, CPT‐I showed a different trend from the other three enzymes. It has been reported that VD could promote insulin secretion in islet β cells, and insulin regulates CPT‐I activity by inhibiting CPT‐I gene transcription; thus, the CPT‐I activity in this study showed a different trend (Al‐Daghri et al., 2012; Bełtowski et al., 2011; Miao et al., 2015; Park et al., 1995).…”

“…Studies have shown that VD 3 supplementation could lower the plasma total cholesterol (CHOL) levels of rats (Lee et al., 2020). At present, it has been pointed out that VD also had the effect of regulating lipid metabolism in aquatic animals, such as juvenile Japanese seabass ( Lateolabrax japonicas ) (Zhang et al., 2016), rainbow trout ( Salmo gairdneri ) (Barnett et al., 1979), Wuchang bream ( Megalobrama amblycephala ) (Miao et al., 2015) and zebrafish ( Danio rerio ) (Kim et al., 2016). And research of zebrafish suggested that VD could inhibit lipid accumulation with the downregulation of adipogenic factors.…”

Concurrent supplementation effects of dietary formic acid and vitamin D 3 on the growth, digestive enzyme activities and bone mineralization of pond‐cultured Cirrhinus mrigala fingerlings

“…Intestinal digestive enzymes activity (U/mg protein) of Cirrhinus mrigala fed with formic acid and vitamin D 3 supplemented diet tract maturation of fish leading to growth reduction (Darias et al, 2010). Similar to our studies, an improvement in WG and SGR was also reported in Wuchang bream (Hong et al, 2015), Dicentrachus labrax (Darias et al, 2010) and European sea bass (Durante et al, 2011) fed on various vitamin D 3 levels. However, Lock et al (2010) reported that vitamin D and its metabolites in the diet ingredients are sufficient to maintain normal growth of fish.…”

Effects of dietary vitamin D3 supplementation on the growth performance, tissue Ca and P concentrations, antioxidant capacity, immune response and lipid metabolism in Litopenaeus vannamei larvae

“…Currently, the research regarding the influence of vitamin D 3 on the growth and physiological metabolism in aquatic animals is limited. Previous studies mainly focus on the optimum dietary vitamin D 3 requirement for various fishes and found that vitamin D 3 requirement varies from different species (10,11) . A few researches have demonstrated the influence of vitamin D 3 on the antioxidant and immune capacity in pearl oyster Pinctada fucata martensii, Atlantic Salmon (Salmo salar) and yellow catfish (Pelteobagrus fulvidraco) (12)(13)(14) .…”
