Our recent study demonstrated that diet with blend oil (named BO1) as lipid, which is designed on the base of essential fatty acid requirement of Trachinotus ovatus, achieved good performance. Here, to confirm its effect and investigate the mechanism, three isonitrogenous (45%) and isolipidic (13%) diets (D1-D3) only differing in dietary lipids, which were, respectively, fish oil (FO), BO1, and blend oil 2 (BO2) consisting of FO and soybean oil at 2 : 3, were formulated and used to feed the T. ovatus juveniles (average initial weight: 7.65 g) for 9 weeks. The results showed that the weight gain rate of fish fed D2 was higher than that of fish fed D3 (P0.05). Correspondingly, compared with the D3 group, fish of the D2 group exhibited better oxidative stress parameters such as lower serum malondialdehyde content and inflammatory indexes in the liver such as the lower expression level of genes encoding four interleukin proteins and tumor necrosis factor α, as well as higher hepatic immune-related metabolites such as valine, gamma-aminobutyric acid, pyrrole-2-carboxylic acid, tyramine, l-targinine, p-synephrine, and butyric acid (P |
