TABLE 3.
Somatic indices and IGF-1 plasma levels of gilthead sea bream juveniles fed with a high-fat diet in the absence (HF) or presence (HF + HT) of hydroxytyrosol (0.52 g HT/kg feed), at a standard (ST) (3% biomass/tank) or restricted ration (RE) (40% daily reduction) for 8 weeks.
| HF_ST | HF_RE | HF + HT_ST | HF + HT_RE | D | R | D*R | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| FBW (g) | 195.63 ± 13.54 | 168.65 ± 6.81 | 194.00 ± 7.24 | 163.96 ± 1.40 | 0.430 | 0.017 | 0.901 |

| IGF-1 (ng/ml) | 3.88 ± 0.13a | 4.70 ± 0.12b,c | 4.97 ± 0.10c | 4.44 ± 0.11b | 0.001 | 0.225 | <0.001 |
Data are shown as Mean ± SEM (n = 3 tanks, except for IGF-1 plasma levels n = 10 fish). Statistical differences are indicated in 3 components: diet (D), ration (R) and interaction (D*R), using two-way ANOVA (p < 0.05). When the interaction between the two factors (D*R) was significant, comparisons among groups were analyzed by a Tukey’s post-hoc test and, significant differences are indicated by different letters (p < 0.05). FBW, final body weight; BL, body length; CF, condition factor (FBW/BL3) 100; FCR, feed conversion ratio (g total feed intake/(FBW- initial BW); HSI, hepatosomatic index (liver weight/FBW) 100.
