Inhibited carnitine synthesis impairs adaptation to high-fat diet in Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) by Ling-Yu Li, Jia-Min Li, Fang Qiao, Li-Qiao Chen, Mei-Ling Zhang, Zhen-Yu Du

“…This study was conducted to examine the roles of carnitine and its related mitochondrial fatty acid β-oxidation (FAO) in the adaptation to HFD in Nile tilapia. Nile tilapias were fed with HFD (13 %), HFD + mildronate (HFD + MD, inhibitor of carnitine synthesis, 1000 mg/kg body per day) or a normal fat diet (NFD, 7 %) for eight weeks. …”

Leptin Selectively Regulates Nutrients Metabolism in Nile Tilapia Fed on High Carbohydrate or High Fat Diet by Cai-Zhi Liu, An-Yuan He, Li-Jun Ning, Yuan Luo, Dong-Liang Li, Mei-Ling Zhang, Li-Qiao Chen, Zhen-Yu Du

“…Here we first verified the high expression of leptin in subcutaneous adipose tissue (SCAT) as in liver in Nile tilapia. Furthermore, we produced two types of DIO Nile tilapia by using a high-carbohydrate diet (HCD) or a high-fat diet (HFD), and confirmed the existence of LR in both models. …”
