... Therefore, pantothenic acid affects the production of acetyl CoA and ACPs and then impacts the electron transfer of the enzyme system in microorganisms, the generation and transfer of multiple intermediate components, and the metabolism of sugar, fat, and protein. Importantly, the complexity of pantothenic acid in the degradation process of organisms can be observed [32,33]. enzyme library in bacteria. ...

... The integrity of the intestinal epithelium is the most prominent physical part of the intestinal barrier, including the static apical junction complex (AJC) and the dynamic epithelial cell renewal process. 40 Under the guidance of Wnt signaling, IECs are continuously shed and replaced by new intestinal cells. 41 This is controlled by a complex process of superficial intestinal cell apoptosis, rapid AJC resealing, and basal cell upward movement, differentiation, and proliferation. ...

... hydrophila infection, mirroring the morphological alterations observed in the leg skin and muscle of R. amurensis similarly infected. 23 Concurrently, histopathological examination of grass carp head kidney tissue during initial infection showed multiple vacuoles and blood extravasation. In contrast, R. amurensis exhibited severe blood extravasation but relatively few vacuoles. ...

... We acquired muscle images from muscle sections using a panoramic scanner (Aperio VERSA 8, Leica, Weitzlar, Germany). The muscle fiber diameter was calculated by measuring 100 white muscle fibers from each sample per group using the smallest diameter method [28]. Muscle fiber density (N/mm 2 ) was defined as the proportion of the total number of fibers in the entire cross-sectional area. ...

... Curcumin is not only one of the first nine natural colorants approved by the Codex Alimentarius Commission of the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations for use in the Chinese food industry, but also included in the Chinese Catalogue of Feed Additives in 2014. In grass carp, CUR could enhance the immune function, physical, chemical and immune barriers in the gills [9], and attenuate OTA toxicity to muscle in vivo and in vitro [10]. Furthermore, in Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus), CUR protected against liver damage caused by hexavalent chromium exposure [11]. ...

Vit-E improves fish meat quality in aquaculture and prevents risks from exposure to oxidative stress. 83,84 Vit-E supplementation improves sensory attributes (such as texture and color) and fish flesh's nutritional value and maintains its freshness by inhibiting lipid oxidation. 83 In Labeo rohita fish, Vit-E increased the percentage of linolenic acid, eicosapentaenoic acid, docosahexaenoic acid and docosahexaenoic acid. ...

... Indeed, our findings showed that a close relationship was revealed between muscle elasticity and intestinal metabolism. Amino acid metabolism plays a crucial role in muscle growth and metabolic responses in teleosts [52,53], especially in muscle development, e.g., tryptophan is the limiting amino acid for protein synthesis and improves growth performance, meat quality, and protein deposition in fish [51,54]. Herein, a large number of enriched metabolic pathways related to muscle elasticity were identified for both male and female LYCs, with amino acid-based metabolic pathways being the most abundant, among which tryptophan biosynthesis has been shown to be an important intestinal metabolic pathway in LYCs. ...

... This experiment was conducted at the Ya'an Aquatic Animal Nutrition Experimental Base, Animal Nutrition Institute, Sichuan Agricultural University. After being purchased from the fishery in Deyang, China, grass carp were acclimatized for 1 month under experimental conditions following the method described by Xue et al. (2023). Afterward, 1800 grass carp (16.20 ± 0.01 g) were randomly allocated to 36 square cages with 2.0 m side lengths, each containing 50 fish. ...

... Interestingly, EQ and TP activate the Nrf2/ARE pathway through different mechanisms: EQ directly increases Nrf2 expression, while TP reduces Keap1 expression, raising free Nrf2 levels. Although previous research by Ma et al. (2024) showed that tea polyphenols downregulates Keap1 expression, further investigation is needed to fully understand the regulatory mechanisms involved. ...
