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.

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.
