The present study was conducted to investigate the effects of dietary acidolysis-oxidized konjac glucomannan (A-OKGM) (0, 0.4, 0.8 and 1.6%) supplementation on the growth performance, lipid metabolism of Schizothorax prenanti, a commonly cultured freshwater fish in inland China. The 1.6% A-OKGM diet significantly improved weight gain (WG) (P<0.05). Triglycerides (TG) content in both serum and liver was significantly increased when diets supplemented with A-OKGM, regardless of inclusion level (P<0.05). The total cholesterol (TC) and LDL-cholesterol (LDL-C) levels in serum were significantly increased when fish fed with 0.4%, 1.6% A-OKGM diets (P<0.05). However, only 1.6% A-OKGM diet significantly increased HDL-cholesterol (HDL-C) level (P<0.05). Dietary 1.6% A-OKGM supplementation had a significant effect on glucose level in the serum (P<0.05). However, the activities of.. View More»
