    (Walter De Gruyter Gmbh, 2024) Esfahani, Delaram Eslimi; Ahmadifar, Mehdi; Ebrahimi, Pouya; Ahmadifar, Ehsan; Shohreh, Poulin; Adineh, Hossein; Moghadam, Mohsen Shahriari
    This study evaluated the individual and combined effects of L. plantarum and L. reuteri on the growth performance, digestive enzymes, antioxidant, and immunity-related genes in zebrafish. Six hundred zebrafish (38.19 +/- 1.4 mg) were randomized into twelve tanks (50 fish per), and fed prepared diets comprising un-supplemented (T0), 1 x10(8) CFU/g L. plantarum (T1), 1 x10(11) CFU/kg L. reuteri (T2), and 1 x10(8) CFU/g L. plantarum + 1 x10(11) CFU/kg L. reuteri (T3) for 8 weeks. Experimental diets had meaningful effects on weight gain (WG), final weight (FW), and the highest WG and FW were seen in T3. Fish-fed supplemented diets had higher amylase and lipase activities. No significant differences were seen in protease, pepsin, chymotrypsin, and trypsin activities between treatments. The supplemented groups showed a significant increase in lysozyme activity and total immunoglobulin levels. Meaningful differences were noticed in ACH50, lysozyme activity, total immunoglobulin, and IgM levels. ALT levels were markedly higher in T2 and T3. Catalase (CAT), total antioxidant, and glutathione peroxidase (GPX) activity were significantly impacted by the experimental diets. The experimental diets showed no marked impact on superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity, and malondialdehyde (MDA) values. Relative expressions of CAT, GPX, and SOD genes were notably upper in T3. Moreover, IL1, LYZ, and TNF alpha gene expressions were significantly enhanced in T3 diets. The challenge test with A. hydrophila showed that zebrafish-fed L. plantarum and L. reuteri had a lower mortality rate than the control. Consequently, the combination of L. reuteri and L. plantarum is proposed to improve growth efficiency, immunity, and reduce the negative effects of A. hydrophila infection in zebrafish.

    Effects of dietary costmary (Tanacetum balsamita) essential oil on growth performance, digestive enzymes' activity, immune responses and subjected to ambient ammonia of common carp Cyprinus carpio
    (Elsevier B.V., 2023) Yousefi, Morteza; Adineh, Hossein; Sedaghat, Zeynab; Yılmaz, Sevdan; Elgabry, Sahar Ezeldien
    The present study aimed at investigating the effects of dietary costmary, Tanacetum balsamita, essential oil (CEO) on growth performance, digestive enzymes' activity, and physiological responses to ammonia exposure in common carp, Cyprinus carpio. Common carp (∼17 g) were randomly distributed in 15 tanks as five treatments receiving diets containing 0 (CTL), 100 (100E), 200 (200E), 300 (300E), and 400 (400E) mg/kg CEO for eight weeks and then exposed to 0.5 mg/l unionized ammonia nitrogen for 3 h. The results showed that dietary CEO significantly increased growth performance and feed efficiency and the best values were observed in 100E and 200E treatments. Intestinal amylase, lipase, and protease activities significantly increased in 100E, 200E, and 300E treatments, compared to CTL, and the highest amylase activity was related to 100E, and highest lipase and protease was related 100E and 200E treatments. Dietary CEO significantly decreased serum cortisol, glucose, catalase, malondialdehyde, alanine aminotransferase, aspartate aminotransferase, triglyceride, cholesterol, and low-density lipoprotein, but increased serum superoxide dismutase, glutathione peroxidase, lysozyme, complement, total immunoglobulin, high density lipoprotein, total protein, and albumin before and/or after ammonia stress, depending on CEO concentrations. Based on the present results, dietary CEO supplementation can improve digestive enzymes and growth performance of common carp. Moreover, CEO exhibits anti-stress, antioxidant, hepatoprotective, and immunostimulant effects in common carp under ammonia toxicity. Based on the results, 100–200 mg/kg CEO is recommended for common carp feed supplementation.

    Effects of dietary Pennyroyal essential oil on growth performance, digestive enzymes' activity, and stress responses of common carp, Cyprinus carpio
    (Elsevier B.V., 2023) Yousefi, Morteza; Adineh, Hossein; Ghadamkheir, Maryam; Hashemianfar, Seyed Amir Mahdi; Yılmaz, Sevdan
    This study aimed at assessing the effects of dietary Pennyroyal essential oil (PE) supplementation on growth performance, digestive enzymes, and stress, antioxidant, and immunological responses to an acute stress. Four experimental diets containing 0 (C), 100 (100PE), 250 (250PE), and 500 (500PE) mg/kg PE were used in this experiment. The fish were fed with these diets for eight weeks, followed by a 3-h crowding stress (40 kg/m3) and 24-h recovery. Growth performance, intestinal amylase, lipase, and protease activities, plasma total protein, albumin, and globulin levels were determined before stress, whereas plasma cortisol, glucose, alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), lysozyme, alternative complement (ACH50), total immunoglobulin (Ig), superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT), glutathione peroxidase (GPx), and malondialdehyde (MDA) were measured before and after stress. Dietary PE supplementation significantly increased growth performance and digestive enzymes of the fish. The highest growth performance was observed in 250PE treatment. Highest amylase, lipase and protease activities were observed in 500PE, 250PE, and 250PE/500PE treatments, respectively. Dietary PE significantly increased plasma total protein, albumin, and globulin and decreased plasma triglyceride and cholesterol levels. Dietary PE supplementation significantly decreased cortisol, glucose, ALT, AST, and MDA before the crowding stress and mitigated the elevations in these parameters after stress. On the other hand, dietary PE significantly increased plasma lysozyme, ACH50, total Ig, SOD, CAT, and GPx before stress and mitigated the alteration in these parameters after stress. In conclusion, dietary PE at 250 mg/kg is recommended for common carp feed, as it improve growth performance, digestive enzymes’ activities, and physiological and immunological responses to acute stress in fish.

    Quercetin Application for Common Carp (Cyprinus carpio): I. Effects on Growth Performance, Humoral Immunity, Antioxidant Status, Immune-Related Genes, and Resistance against Heat Stress
    (Hindawi Limited, 2023) Armobin, Kobra; Ahmadifar, Ehsan; Adineh, Hossein; Samani, Mahsa Naderi; Kalhor, Naser; Yılmaz, Sevdan; Hoseinifar, Seyed Hossein; Van Doan, Hien
    This study was done to evaluate the effect of different quercetin levels on growth performance, immune responses, antioxidant status, serum biochemical factors, and high-temperature stress responses in common carp (Cyprinus carpio). A total number of 216 common carp with an average weight of 27.21 ± 53 g were divided into 12 tanks ( four treatments × three replications ) and fed 0 mg/kg quercetin (T0), 200 mg/kg quercetin (T1), 400 mg/kg quercetin (T2), and 600 mg/kg quercetin (T3) for 60 days. There were significant differences in growth performance, and the highest final body weight (FBW), weight gain (WG), specific growth rate (SGR), and feed intake (FI) were observed in T2 and T3 ( P < 0.05 ). Different quercetin levels significantly increased complement pathway activity (ACH50) and lysozyme activity both before and after heat stress ( P < 0.05 ). Catalase (CAT), glutathione peroxidase (GPx), and malondialdehyde (MDA) were significantly increased in fish exposed to heat stress, but fish fed with a supplemented diet with quercetin showed the lowest levels both before and after heat stress ( P < 0.05 ). Superoxide dismutase (SOD) levels were significantly enhanced in fish fed diets supplemented with quercetin in both phases ( P < 0.05 ). Different quercetin levels led to a significant decrease in alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and aspartate aminotransferase (AST) before and after the challenging test ( P < 0.05 ). Glucose and cortisol levels were significantly higher in the control group compared to the other treatments in both phases ( P < 0.05 ). The expression of glutathione peroxidase (GPx) and lysozyme was markedly upregulated in fish fed with quercetin-supplemented diets ( P < 0.05 ). No marked effects were observed for growth hormone (GR) and interleukin-8 (IL8) ( P > 0.05 ). In conclusion, dietary quercetin supplementations (400-600 mg/kg quercetin) improved growth performance, immunity, and antioxidant status and increased tolerance to heat stress.

    The Gene Regulatory Roles of Herbal Extracts on the Growth, Immune System, and Reproduction of Fish
    (MDPI, 2021) Ahmadifar, Ehsan; Pourmohammadi Fallah, Hamideh; Yousefi, Morteza; Dawood, Mahmoud A. O.; Hoseinifar, Seyed Hossein; Adineh, Hossein; Yılmaz, Sevdan
    The crucial need for safe and healthy aquatic animals obligates researchers in aquaculture to investigate alternative and beneficial additives. Medicinal herbals and their extracts are compromised with diverse effects on the performances of aquatic animals. These compounds can affect growth performance and stimulate the immune system when used in fish diet. In addition, the use of medicinal herbs and their extracts can reduce oxidative stress induced by several stressors during fish culture. Correspondingly, aquatic animals could gain increased resistance against infectious pathogens and environmental stressors. Nevertheless, the exact mode of action where these additives can affect aquatic animals’ performances is still not well documented. Understanding the mechanistic role of herbal supplements and their derivatives is a vital tool to develop further the strategies and application of these additives for feasible and sustainable aquaculture. Gene-related studies have clarified the detailed information on the herbal supplements’ mode of action when administered orally in aquafeed. Several review articles have presented the potential roles of medicinal herbs on the performances of aquatic animals. However, this review article discusses the outputs of studies conducted on aquatic animals fed dietary, medicinal herbs, focusing on the gene expression related to growth and immune performances. Furthermore, a particular focus is directed to the expected influence of herbal supplements on the reproduction of aquatic animals.

    The Use of Perovskia abrotanoides Extract in Ameliorating Heat Stress-Induced Oxidative Damage and Improving Growth Efficiency in Carp Juveniles (Cyprinus carpio)
    (Wiley, 2024) Adineh, Hossein; Zahedi, Saeed; Yousefi, Morteza; Sedaghat, Zeynab; Yılmaz, Sevdan; Alamdari, Ebrahim Gholamalipour; Farhangi, Mohammad
    Herbal extracts have been successfully used as feed additives in fish culture with attractive growth-promoting, immunostimulant, antimicrobial, and antioxidant properties for several fish and shellfish species. Therefore, we have designed a feeding trial to assess the impacts of dietary incorporation of Perovskia abrotanoides extract (PAE) on common carp (Cyprinus carpio). For this purpose, five isonitrogenous (35% protein) and isocaloric (similar to 4,000 kcal/kg) diets have been supplied by supplementing PAE at the varying inclusion levels as 0.0%, 0.25%, 0.5%, 1.0%, and 2.0% diets, and growth performance and feed utilization, digestive enzyme activities, serum biochemical variables, antioxidant responses, and immunological factors were studied. The experiment continued for 60 days. At the termination of the experiment, the mean final weight, weight gain percentage (WG%), feed conversion rate (FCR), and specific growth rate (SGR) have been improved significantly in all fish groups fed PAE-based diets with regard to those fed the reference diets. A second-order polynomial regression equations indicate that the optimum dietary supplementation level of PAE in fish diets was similar to 1%. Serum cortisol, glucose, triglyceride, cholesterol, and malondialdehyde levels as well as catalase, alanine aminotransferase, and aspartate aminotransferase activities were significantly decreased generally in all PAE-supplemented groups compared to the control groups before and/or after high-temperature stress (32 degrees C). Moreover, serum total protein, albumin, and total immunoglobulin levels as well as ACH50, lysozyme, superoxide dismutase, and glutathione peroxidase activities were increased before and/or after high-temperature stress (32 degrees C). In conclusion, the results showed, for the first time, that dietary supplementation with similar to 1% PAE can improve growth performance, stimulated the digestive enzymes, and enchanced antioxidant status as well as immune parameters and prevented high-temperature stress of common carp.
