Table 1. Selected biochemical plasma parameters of rainbow trout intraperitoneally injected with CA or HT.
CT | CA | HT | |
---|---|---|---|
TAG (mmol/L) | 4.69 ± 0.738 | 3.53 ± 0.164 | 2.59 ± 0.478* |
Glycerol (DO 540 nm) | 0.06 ± 0.0013 | 0.06 ± 0.0014 | 0.06 ± 0.0006 |
Glucose (mmol/L) | 8.61 ± 1.077 | 6.86 ± 0.417 | 6.83 ± 0.480 |
NEFAs (mEq/L) | 0.96 ± 0.074 | 1.02 ± 0.086 | 1.16 ± 0.133 |
Juvenile rainbow trout kept at 15°C received intraperitoneal injections after a one-day fast with vehicle CT, vehicle plus CA (10 μg/g), or vehicle plus HT (20 μg/g). After 24 h exposure to the compound, blood samples were harvested for further plasma biochemical analyses. The total fasting period was therefore 48 hours before blood sampling. Values are expressed as means ± SEM (n = 7 to 8 fish per condition). TAG, triacylglycerols; NEFAs, non-esterified fatty acids.
*p < 0.05 versus control using Student’s t-test.
