Post-Prandial Amino Acid Changes in Gilthead Sea Bream

Following a meal, series of physiological changes occurs in fish as they digest, absorb and assimilate ingested nutrients. This study aims to assess post-prandial free amino acid (FAA) activity gilthead sea bream consuming partial marine protein (fishmeal) replacement. Sea were fed diets where 16 27% the fishmeal was replaced by plant protein. The essential (EAA) composition white muscle, liver gut strongly correlated with EAA 16% replacement diet compared diet. mean FAA concentration muscle changed at 4 8 h after meal not different pre-feeding (0 h) 24 feeding. It confirmed this that meets needs bream. Overall, present contributes towards understanding profiles during uptake, tissue assimilation immediate metabolic processing acids suggests need further investigate magnitude tissue-specific relation species-specific abilities regulate metabolism due dietary nutrient utilization.
