Effects of zinc sulfate (ZnSO4) in diet on the growth performance and gene expression of Insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) and Ghrelin in goldfish (Carassius auratus)
author
Abstract:
The zinc element (Zn) is one of the micronutrients and an essential element of the body which has some deleterious and irreparable effects on growth in case of lack it. Thus, we aimed to assess IGF-1 in goldfish with Zn deficiency and to investigate the effect of Zn supplementation on these parameters. Goldfish (Carassius auratus) juvenile (3.5 g) were fed purified diets based on casein as a protein source and containing different levels of supplementary zinc sulfate (0, 25, 75 and 150 mg ZnSO4/kg diet) for 60 days. The results showed that fish fed with a diet supplemented with 150 mg kg-1 Zn had a significantly (P < 0.05) greater specific growth rate and lower feed conversion ratio than those fed with the diets of 0, 25 and 75 mg kg-1 ZnSO4. The results revealed that administration of zinc sulfate significantly (P < 0.05) up regulated Insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) gene expression. IGF-1 gene expression was significantly (P < 0.05) higher in zinc sulfate fed fish at the end of trial. Collectively, our results indicate that ZnSO4 stimulates Insulin-like growth factor-1 secretion from the liver at the post-transcriptional level.

Background & Objective: To find an association between gene variants of insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) and 5,10-methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) with the risk of acne vulgaris (AV). Methods: In a case-control study, we investigated 150 AV patients and 148 healthy individuals (aged 18-25 years) for the IGF-1 G>A and MTHFR C677T polymorphis...

Effect of Light and Music on Growth Performance and Survival Rate of Goldfish (Carassius auratus)
Environmental enrichment is one of the methods for improving fish growth performance. In the present trial, the effects of both light color and music on growth performance and survival of goldfish (Carassius auratus) (initial mean weight: 4.15±0.08 g) were investigated for 2 months. Two light color treatments (red light and white light) and three music treatments (M0: without music, M30:30 min...
