Dietary Betaine Attenuates High-Carbohydrate-Diet-Induced Oxidative Stress, Endoplasmic Reticulum Stress, and Apoptosis in Mandarin Fish (<i>Siniperca chuatsi</i>)

To investigate the impact of betaine on high-carbohydrate-diet-induced oxidative stress and endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress, mandarin fish (<i>Siniperca chuatsi</i>) (23.73 ± 0.05 g) were fed with control (NC), betaine (BET), high carbohydrate (HC), and high carbohydrate + betaine (HC...

description To investigate the impact of betaine on high-carbohydrate-diet-induced oxidative stress and endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress, mandarin fish (<i>Siniperca chuatsi</i>) (23.73 ± 0.05 g) were fed with control (NC), betaine (BET), high carbohydrate (HC), and high carbohydrate + betaine (HC + BET) diets for 8 weeks. The results showed that betaine significantly promoted the growth of mandarin fish irrespective of the dietary carbohydrate levels. The HC diet induced oxidative stress, as evidenced by significantly elevated MDA levels. The HC diet significantly stimulated the mRNA levels of genes involved in ER stress (<i>ire1</i>, <i>perk</i>, <i>atf6</i>, <i>xbp1</i>, <i>eif2α</i>, <i>atf4</i>, <i>chop</i>), autophagy (<i>ulk1</i>, <i>becn1</i>, <i>lc3b</i>), and apoptosis (<i>bax</i>). However, betaine mitigated HC-diet-induced oxidative stress by modulating antioxidant enzymes and alleviated ER stress by regulating the mRNA of genes in the PERK-eIF2a-ATF4 pathway. Additionally, betaine significantly reduced the mRNA levels of <i>becn1</i> and <i>bax</i>, along with the apoptosis rate, indicating a mitigating effect on autophagy and apoptosis. Overall, dietary betaine improved growth, attenuated HC-diet-induced oxidative stress and ER stress, and ultimately alleviated apoptosis in mandarin fish. These findings provide evidence for the use of betaine in aquafeeds to counter disruptive effects due to diets containing high carbohydrate levels.
