Abstract. Ascorbic acid (AA), an essential vitamin for flsh, is a particularly unstable compound in aquatic feeds. It has been shown that esterification in the C2 position results in good stability. There are two A A derivatives which can be produced at a reasonable price: ascorbate-2-poly- phosphate (brand name: ROVIMIX STAY-C) and ascorbate-2-sulphate (AAS). Two tests were conducted with rainbow trout, Oncorhynchus my kiss (Walbaum), in order to compare the relative biological efficacy of the two sources of ascorbic acid in fish feeds.
Rainbow trout (500 g average body weight) were force-fed a single dose (20 mg A A equivalent) of ascorbate-2-polyphosphate (AAPP) or ascorbate-2-sulphate in a gelatine capsule. Ascorbic acid concentrations in the plasma were determined at various time intervals from 0 to 184h after administration. Six flsh per sampling time were used. Areas under the curves were calculated to evaluate the relative bioavailability of the two derivatives.
In the second study, a 2-month feeding trial was run with juvenile rainbow trout (initial body weight: 6g) fed diets supplemented with the two ascorbate derivatives at levels of 60, 200 or 1000mg ascorbic add equivalent/kg feed. A vitamin C-free diet was used as the negative control. Ascorbic acid concentrations were determined in livers at day 30, and in livers and plasma at day 60.
The results show that AAPP is well absorbed by rainbow trout while AAS causes only a slight rise in AA plasma levels. The feeding trial confirms the significantly higher biological efficacy of AAPP over AAS.  相似文献

Influence of vitamin C on the immune system of salmonids   总被引：3，自引：0，他引：3  
Abstract. Trials were run to determine the immunomodulatory effect of dietary vitamin C in rainbow trout. Oncorhynchus mykiss (Walbaum), and Atlanticsalmon, Salmo Salar L. We first investigated whether depletion of ascorbic acid (AA) could depress the immune system. Subsequently, we focused our studies on the stimulatory effect of a high dietary dose of stable vitamin C derivatives (1000mg AA-equivalent per kg of feed) in order to determine their prophylactic role. Three trials were run with rainbow trout fed, for periods of time varying from 2 to 6 months, a high dietary dose of ascorbate-2-polyphosphate (AAPP) or L-ascorbate-2-monophosphate calcium salt (AAMP) equivalent to 1000mg AA per kg of feed. The high dietary level of vitamin C was compared to 60mg AA-equivalent per kg of feed. Another experiment was conducted with Atlantic salmon pre-fed AAPP at 60mg/kg for 6 months followed by AAPP at 1000mg/kg for 2 months. Various immune parameters were tested such as mitogen-induced proliferation, serum complement level, phagocytosis and natural cytotoxicity. Leucocyte and plasma AA contents were also determined. The immune response in vitamin-C deficient trout was not strongly different from that in trout fed the minimal growth requirement level. Serum complement level was not affected by vitamin C. A high dietary dose of vitamin C was found to increase trout and salmon leucocyte AA content, mitogen-induced proliferation of lymphocytes, and chemiluminescence response of leucocytes with a higher constancy, when the cells were stimulated with opsonized zymosan and with luminol as a substrate. Natural cytotoxicity was enhanced in trout fed a high dietary dose of vitamin C. The results of these immunity studies support supplementation levels of vitamin C which are much higher than the minimal requirement known to prevent deficiency symptoms and promote normal growth. Further investigations on the time-dose response are needed to define quantitatively the high dietary dose of vitamin C.  相似文献

This study was conducted to examine the effects of different forms and concentrations of ascorbic acid (vitamin C), and different enrichment times (24 and 48 h post ovulation) on egg, embryo and alevin ascorbate concentrations and survival of rainbow trout (enrichment was at the ova stage). In experiments 1 and 2, fertilized eggs were immersed in water containing ascorbate at 0 (control), 100, 1000 mg L?1 l ‐ascorbic acid (AA) and 2000 mg L?1 l ‐ascorbyl monophosphate (AP). In experiment 3, 0 (control), 500 and 1000 mg L?1 AA neutralized (N) with NaOH, 1000 mg L?1 AA non‐neutralized (NN), 1000 and 2000 mg L?1 AP immersions were used. The mean total ascorbic acid (TAA) and dehydroascorbic acid (DHA) concentrations were measured before fertilization, at 3 and 24 h after fertilization, at the eyed stage, and in hatched alevins. We observed significant differences in TAA concentration at different immersion levels at 3 and 24 h after fertilization. Survival decreased significantly depending on the level of vitamin C, pH of the solutions and immersion time. We suggest that when broodstock rainbow trout do not have enough vitamin C in their ovaries, immersion of eggs in 1000 mg L?1 of neutralized AA may be useful.  相似文献

Abstract. The aim of the present study was to compare the effect of high and low doses of different vitamin C formulations on the course of ichthyophthiriosis ( Ichthyophthirius multifiliis infection) in rainbow trout. After a depletion period, trout fingerlings were fed diets deficient in vitamin C(AA 0), or containing different levels of silicone coated ascorbic acid (AA; 50/200 mg kg feed−1) or ascorbyl phosphate (AP; 50/2000 mg AA equivalent kg feed−1). Fish infected with I. multifiliis demonstrated a significant reduction in mortality when fed high levels of AA or AP. A correlation between the parasite burden and the vitamin C content in the diet was not found. Specific immunity—measured as immobilization litre of sera—was not influenced by the level or the formulation of vitamin C in the diet. The most probable mechanism of high level doses of vitamin C is an increase of the general health status expressed as an improved nonspecific resistance and ability to cope with different stressors. In rainbow trout infected with I. multifiliis , the beneficial effect of ascorbyl phosphate is equal to that of silicone coated ascorbic acid, and therefore, the more stable AP may be a valuable alternative for use in fish diets.  相似文献

Abstract.— Purified diets were formulated and fed to seven groups of Nile tilapia Oreochromis niloricus fingerlings for 12 weeks. Six of the formulated diets contained 5 or 50 mg/kg of ascorbic acid equivalent supplied either by L-ascorbic acid (AA), L-ascorbyl-2-sulfate (AS) or L-ascorbyl-2-polyphosphate (APP). The seventh basal diet was ascorbate-free and served as the control. The study indicated that APP or AS was more effectively utilized as a source of vitamin C than equimolar AA in promoting growth, improving food conversion, and preventing scurvy in Nile tilapia. Fish fed the ascorbate-free diet and the diet containing 5 mg AA/kg exhibited external signs of scurvy at 10 weeks. Diets containing 5 mg/kg of ascorbic acid from AS or APP provided some growth with no overt signs of scurvy indicating that this concentration of AS and APP might be near the minimum requirements for the species. The best growth, food conversion ratio, survival rate, and ascorbic acid content in liver were obtained with the diet containing 50 mg ascorbate equivalent/kg diet from APP followed by the diet containing 50 mg ascorbate equivalent/kg diet from AS. Fish fed diets with 50 mg ascorbic acidkg diet from AS and APP gained 27.9% and 36.2% more weight, respectively, than fish fed diets with 50 mg ascorbic acidkg diet from AA. These results indicated nearly equal ascorbic acid activity from AS and APP.  相似文献

Growth, survival, tissue ascorbate concentration and collagen content were studied in fast-growing Penaeus monodon fed two ascorbic acid (AA) derivatives. Prior to the experimental trial, shrimp (initial body weight: 0.9 ± 0.4 g) were fed on a diet lacking vitamin C for 5 weeks. During the following 13-week experiment, the shrimp (initial body weight: 8.2 ± 0.7 g) were given one of five squid-meal-based diets. The dietary treatments consisted of a diet lacking vitamin C, two diets supplemented with either 500 or 1000 mg AA kg−1 in the form of silicone-coated AA, and two diets supplemented with either 500 or 1000 mg AA kg−1 in the form of ascorbyl-2-polyphosphate. Shrimp gained 18.3 g in 13 weeks. The AA-free diet group exhibited the lowest growth rate, feed intake and survival (26.8%) after 4 weeks. Hepatopancreatic ascorbate and muscle collagen content were significantly ( P < 0.05) lower in AA-deprived shrimp. At the end of the feeding trial, growth rate and survival were not significantly ( P > 0.05) different among groups fed AA-supplemented diets. Hepatopancreatic and haemolymphatic ascorbate concentrations were significantly ( P < 0.05) higher in groups given ascorbyl-2-polyphosphate than in groups given silicone-coated AA. A supplement of 500 mg AA kg−1 diet in the form of either silicone-coated AA or ascorbyl-2-polyphosphate was adequate for optimal growth. But ascorbate concentrations in tissues remained much below saturation levels with a supplement of 1000 mg AA kg−1 diet. It is questionable whether the established vitamin C requirements for P. monodon are adequate to maintain tissue ascorbate in fast-growing juveniles.  相似文献

A protected form of vitamin C, L-ascorbyl-2-poly phosphate (APP), was tested for safety and efficacy in fishes. Phosphorylation of the 2-hydroxyl group protected the 2,3-enediol of L-ascorbic acid against oxidation. When APP was added to feed, about 15% of its vitamin C activity was lost during milling and storing 5–7 d at ambient temperature. Stability of APP in pelleted feeds at 25 or 40 C was up to 83 times or 45 times greater than that of ascorbic acid (AA), respectively. In later tests, trout feed mash, steam-pelleted in triplicate, frozen, and shipped on dry ice before analysis, had 46% loss of AA and no apparent loss of APP. With 16% milling loss (highest detected in trout feeds assayed in initial tests) and 22% storage loss after 90 d, conservative APP mix rates were estimated. Mixing 153 g L-ascorbate-equivalent as APP per metric ton of airdry ingredients (153 ppm) would give 128 ppm in the finished feed after steam-pelleting and 100 ppm after 60–90 d storage at 40 C. Low-temperature extrusion of Oregon-Moist salmon feed reduced AA slightly. Ascorbic acid oxidized in frozen storage and while thawing and, after 12 h at room temperature, only trace amounts remained. Ascorbyl-2-polyphosphate at 0.05 to 0.2 times that of equimolar AA in casein-base or practical feeds supported long-term growth and development in rainbow trout and other fishes. Trout feeding trials with practical feeds in actual production regimens documented APP activity at growth rates approaching the maximum for trout farming. Corrected for greater stability, APP antiscorbutic activity appeared to be comparable to that of AA on a molar-equivalent basis. Similarly, apparent equimolar activity was inferred from estimated equilibrium levels of liver, kidney, and whole-body AA and L-ascorbyl-2-sulfate (AS) after prolonged APP use in trout feeds. Fathead minnow growth and reproduction in egg-to-egg life-cycle tests also confirmed APP safety and efficacy as a stabilized source of vitamin C for feeds. None of the typical lesions of scoliosis, malformed gill lamellae, and crenulated opercles, nor conditions of poor health, anorexia, and eventual torpor seen in vitamin C-deficient controls occurred in trout fed APP. No liver pathology was evident in trout fed APP for 252 d at 1.7 to 3.3 times the National Research Council's recommended vitamin C (equivalent) rates.  相似文献

An 80‐day feeding trial was conducted to evaluate the effects of dietary ascorbic acid (AA) supplementation at different levels (0, 0.2 and 0.4 g/kg l ‐ascorbate‐2‐polyphosphate; 7.6, 77.2 and 146.7 mg/kg AA, respectively) on cholesterol metabolism in rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss). Dietary AA supplementation regardless of inclusion level increased the serum total cholesterol and low‐density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol levels and LDL cholesterol/high‐density lipoprotein cholesterol ratio. No significant differences were observed in the serum triiodothyronine and thyroxine levels, faecal cholesterol content, hepatic activity and mRNA expression of acyl‐coenzyme A:cholesterol acyltransferase among the dietary treatments. Dietary AA inclusion increased the faecal bile acid content, hepatic activity and mRNA expression of 3‐hydroxy‐3‐methylglutaryl coenzyme A reductase and hepatic cholesterol 7α‐hydroxylase mRNA expression, but decreased the hepatic LDL receptor content. High level of AA supplementation (0.4 g/kg) depressed the serum cortisol levels. These results suggest that dietary supplementation with 0.2?0.4 g/kg l ‐ascorbate‐2‐polyphosphate may increase the serum total cholesterol level in rainbow trout. The cholesterol‐raising effect of AA may be due to the increased hepatic cholesterol production and the depressed cholesterol clearance from serum. In addition, dietary AA inclusion also facilitates the hepatic conversion of cholesterol to bile acids.  相似文献

The effect of hypervitaminosis A on the development of ascorbic acid deficiency was investigated in rainbow trout reared on a practical diet. Excess vitamin A (124 000 I.U./kg) in the diet, as retinyl-palmitate, did not appear to interact with ascorbic acid metabolism of the trout. This dietary level of vitamin A did not affect the occurrence of the ascorbic acid deficiency symptoms, lordosis and scoliosis. Vitamin A does not appear to be toxic to rainbow trout at the level of 124 000 I.U./kg of diet and it would appear that the development of lordosis and scoliosis was due in this case to ascorbic acid deficiency.  相似文献

The relative bioavailability of ascorbic acid (AA) from several sources was compared in juvenile rainbow trout, Oncorhynchus mykiss (Walbaum). Fingerling trout were offered AA, and equimolar amounts of ascorbyl monophosphate Ca salt (CaAMP) or ascorbyl monophosphate-K, Mg salt (K/MgAMP) at graded levels of 20, 40, 80 and 320 mg kg?1. A control group was fed the same formula diet devoid of AA. During the 12 week long experiment, dietary concentrations of CaAMP and K/MgAMP remained unchanged while AA concentration decreased by 62.5%. No significant growth differences were found over a 12 week growout period, during which body weights increased 8–9 fold. No mortality or acute scurvy signs were observed in fish. Lysozyme activities tended to decrease in fingerlings supplemented with the highest AA level from all sources, although the difference was significant only in the case of the CaAMP diets. Blood plasma alkaline phosphatase showed no significant differences between treatments. However, phosphatase activity toward ascorbyl monophosphate (AMP) extracted from the intestine showed a gradual increase as the dietary AMP source was increased from 20 to 80 mg kg?1. Significant differences were found in AA concentration in the liver after 3 weeks of feeding graded levels of different sources of ascorbic acid. The differences in tissue AA concentrations among groups fed different dietary supplements increased with the duration of feeding. The bioavailability of AA and AA esters as measured by AA concentrations in the liver, kidney, intestine and blood plasma were equal. Despite the decrease in AA concentration in feeds supplemented with unprotected ascorbic acid after several weeks of storage, relationships between concentrations of ascorbic acid in the liver and those actually measured in feeds were not significantly different between treatments.  相似文献

Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) parr were fed fish meal based pelleted diets supplemented with graded levels of ascorbate-2-monophosphate (AP), equivalent to 0, 20, 60 and 1000 mg ascorbic acid (AA) kg”1 throughout smoltification on a continuous light regime from February to June. No differences were observed in growth rate and body length distribution between the dietary regimes. The condition factor and the hepatosomatic index were somewhat elevated in fish fed no vitamin C throughout the smoltification, which can reflect changes in lipid metabolism in fish with suboptimal vitamin C nutrition. Sea water challenge tests (exposure to sea water with salinity of 34 gL?1 and ambient temperature for 24 h) performed monthly did not reveal differences attributed to the vitamin C status, as measured by mortality, serum chloride and cortisol concentrations, haematological parameters and liver and head kidney ascorbate concentrations after 24 h. Elevated serum cortisol concentrations most probably reflected stress in the challenge tests, and some lower concentrations in fish fed high vitamin C levels may indicate a certain stress-ameliorating effect. The present results do not, however, support the anticipation of increased requirement of dietary vitamin C above the minimum requirement during smoltification in Atlantic salmon.  相似文献

A study was conducted to evaluate tissue storage and mobilisation of L-ascorbic acid (AA) in the Siberian sturgeon (Acipenser baeri) fed three different experimental diets. The three treatments consisted of a diet devoid of vitamin C (diet A0) and two diets supplemented with equivalent of 300 mg AA kg–1 in the form of either silicone-coated ascorbic acid (diet SC) or of ascorbyl-2-polyphosphate (diet AP). During the first phase (4 months) of the trial, six batches of 130 Siberian sturgeon (initial body weight: 25.5±0.5 g) each were fed one of the three diets in duplicate. During the second phase (3 months), fish from groups SC and AP were switched to diet A0 and those fed diet A0 during the first phase were switched to diet SC. Irrespective of the dietary treatment, growth rates were not significantly different from each other. At the end of phase I, in all tissues studied, total ascorbic acid (TAA) concentrations were higher in Siberian sturgeon fed diet AP than in the other two groups. During phase II, tissue ascorbate depletion was also higher in the AP group than in the other two groups. Transfer of the AA-free diet fed group onto a diet supplemented with 300 mg AA kg–1 (diet SC) led to a slight increase in the TAA concentrations in all tissues. Blood plasma tyrosine concentrations were not significantly different between the three groups. Whole-body collagen levels were affected by dietary AA levels or forms at the end of phase I; the differences were not significant at the end of phase II. Muscle collagen levels were slightly affected. L-Gulonolactone oxidase activity was found in the kidney of Siberian sturgeon, but not in the liver. The ascorbyl-2-polyphosphate appears to be either better utilised by Siberian sturgeon, like in many other teleosts, or more stable than the silicone-coated AA during food processing and storage. Presence of L-gulonolactone oxidase activity in Siberian sturgeon kidney combined with the absence of gross scorbutic signs in AA-free diet fed groups expressing very good growth rates suggested no need of dietary AA byA. baeri.  相似文献

Semipurified diets containing either no ascorbic acid or supplemental amounts of 11, 22, 44 and 132 mg/kg from Gascorbic acid (AA), L-ascorbyl-2-monophosphate (AAP) or L-ascorbyl-2-sulfate (AAS) were fed to channel catfish fingerlings (13 ± 2.1 g average initial weight) in aquaria. After a feeding period of 14 wk, weight gain was measured and ascorbic acid content of liver and anterior kidney of the fish was determined. Growth was normal for fish fed all dietary levels of AA and AAP, but lower in fish fed the control and diets supplemented with all levels of AAS; however, growth improved as the concentration of AAS increased. Liver and kidney ascorbic acid increased with level of dietary supplementation in fish fed AA and AAP but only traces or no detectable levels were found in the tissues of fish fed AAS or the controls. Liver and kidney levels of ascorbic acid were significantly higher in fish fed AAP than in fish fed corresponding levels of ascorbic acid from AA. Regression of liver ascorbic acid content on diet concentration indicated that the potency of AAP for maintaining liver storage of ascorbic acid at a minimum acceptable level is 1.74 times higher than that of AA on an ascorbic acid equivalent basis. These results demonstrate that AAP and AA have similar vitamin activity for growth in channel catfish, but AAP is markedly more effective for maintaining tissue levels of ascorbic acid, and that AAS has limited vitamin activity for growth and its contribution to the tissue ascorbic acid pool is negligible.  相似文献

Two-year old rainbow trout females were fed diets containing 0, 30, 110, 220, 440 and 870 mg kg-1 ascorbyl-2-monophosphate Mg+ salt (groups 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6, respectively) from August until March. At the time of spawning (February–March) blood was sampled and the ovulating females were hand stripped. Estradiol (E2) and testosterone (T) concentrations in plasma, and ascorbic acid (AA) concentrations in plasma and eggs were determined. The mean plasma concentrations of T were higher in group 4, 5, or 6 than in group 2 or 3 (p < 0.05). Moreover, the average plasma concentration of T in fish fed the diets with AA level below National Research Council (NRC) recommendations (groups 1, 2 and 3) was significantly lower (p<0.01) than the average plasma concentration in fish fed diets with AA level above NRC recommendations (groups 4, 5, and 6). These data are consistent with the hypothesis that AA can influence production of steroids in female rainbow trout.Corresponding author  相似文献

The variation in semen production among farmed Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) and rainbow trout (Salmo gairdneri) has been studied. Both species were stripped at weekly intervals, the Atlantic salmon four times and the rainbow trout three times.The individual variation in volume of semen was very high, particularly in rainbow trout. The total volume of semen obtained was 137 ml (20 ml/kg body weight) in Atlantic salmon and 23 ml (5 ml/kg body weight) in rainbow trout. The intraclass correlation for volume of semen was estimated at 0.73 in Atlantic salmon and at 0.59 in rainbow trout. The correlations between volume of semen and body size (weight and length) were all positive. They were all significant and medium in Atlantic salmon whereas in rainbow trout they were all low and significant only for volume of semen at first stripping.The number of males needed to supply the Norwegian fish farming industry with semen is discussed. It is concluded that the possibility of disseminating genetic improvement throughout the whole population of farmed Atlantic salmon and rainbow trout by transport of semen from selected males is considerable.  相似文献

Growth rates of Atlantic salmon, pink salmon, Arctic char, sea trout and rainbow trout were compared under Norwegian farming conditions. During the juvenile, freshwater period, growth was fastest in pink salmon, followed by rainbow trout and Arctic char. Freshwater growth of sea trout and, especially, Atlantic salmon, was slow. After transfer of smolts or fingerling to sea water, Arctic char failed to survive the autumn. Sea water growth of sea trout was slow, but the three species, rainbow trout, Atlantic salmon and pink salmon, all grew rapidly through all seasons. When in sea water, rainbow trout and pink salmon were regularly attacked by vibriosis, while Atlantic salmon were rarely attacked, and sea trout never. It is concluded that, for commercial farming in Norway, rainbow trout are of value for production of fish of any size up to 3–4 kg, and pink salmon for production of small fish of 0.5–1.5 kg. Atlantic salmon is the only species suitable for production of a very large salmonid, i.e., more than 4–5 kg.  相似文献

The minimum dietary vitamin C requirement for optimal growth and normal development in Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) fry at the onset of feeding was studied, using Ca ascorbate-2-monophosphate (AP) as dietary source. The requirement was established by means of a feeding study lasting for 23 weeks from the beginning of feeding. The practical diets used were supplemented with AP at levels of 0, 10, 20, 40, 80 and 160 mg ascorbic acid (AA) equivalents/kg. Growth, mortality, hydroxyproline content in skin and backbone, and AA in liver were recorded to evaluate the results. The results suggest that the minimum dietary requirement for optimal growth and normal development is in the range of 10–20 mg AA equivalents/kg dry diet during the period studied.  相似文献

The present study examined the effects of high-concentration ascorbic acid (AsA) supplementation over a long period on growth, plasma components, nonspecific immune responses, and thermal tolerance in rainbow trout Oncorhynchus mykiss. Four commercial diets supplemented with 0, 100, 1000, and 5000 mg AsA per kg of diet (designated AsA0, AsA100, AsA1000, and AsA5000, respectively) were fed to rainbow trout (initial weight 1.85 g) for 100 days. AsA contents in liver increased with increasing dietary AsA levels. Feeding period, growth performance, and plasma components did not differ significantly between the AsA groups. On the other hand, the phagocytic assay [nitro-blue tetrazolium (NBT) assay] was significantly higher in fish fed AsA1000 and AsA5000 than those fed a diet without AsA (AsA0) at the end of feeding trial. Superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity in the intestines of fish fed AsA5000 was also significantly higher than that of fish fed AsA0. In the thermal tolerance test, fish fed AsA5000 only showed significantly lower cumulative mortality compared with the AsA0 group. In conclusion, high-concentration AsA supplementation such as AsA5000 over a long period does not induce any adverse effects and can enhance disease and stress resistance in rainbow trout.  相似文献

A 9‐wk feeding experiment was conducted to investigate the effect of dietary ascorbic acid (AA) on growth performance and tissue compositions of Caspian brown trout. The fish (9.64 ± 0.62 g) were held in tanks at a density of 40 fish per tank. Five experimental diets were prepared by providing of 9.8, 43.8, 89.4, 188.5, and 384.2 mg AA equivalent/kg diet, respectively. At the end of the trial, an increasing trend was found on growth performance with the increase of AA supplementation. Fish fed diet supplemented with more than 188.5 mg/kg AA also had significantly higher bone collagen than fish fed diets containing 9.8 mg/kg AA (P < 0.05). According to the broken line, the dietary AA requirement of Caspian brown trout fingerlings was 177.24 mg AA/kg diet based on the weight gain, 186.97 mg AA/kg diet based on the protein tissue, and 163.95 mg AA/kg diet based on the bone collagen. Serum lysozyme and alternative complement pathway activities were also influenced by graded level of AA supplementation to the diet. The present research clearly indicated that AA is required for normal growth and enhancement of immune response in Caspian brown trout fingerlings.  相似文献

Evidence is presented that for common carp (Cyprinus carpio L.), intraperitoneal injection of L-gulonolactone, a precursor of ascorbic acid synthesis in the D-glucuronic acid pathway, does not result in an increased concentration of ascorbate in tissue. Control fish injected with an equimolar amount of ascorbic acid have shown a significant increase in ascorbic acid concentration in the kidney, hepatopancreas, plasma and spleen. The ascorbate status in the carp body,i.e., the ascorbate nutritional history, produced significant differences in ascorbate withdrawal from circulation and probably in the catabolic rate. Acute fasting decreased ascorbate uptake into tissues as compared to fish fed a diet lacking ascorbate. Intraperitoneally injected ascorbate affects common carp being fed a diet containing 295 mg of total ascorbic acid kg–1 by causing tissue to become saturated with vitamin C, similar to the tissues in the group undergoing acute fasting. There was no gulonolactone oxidase activity in the hepatopancreas of the common carp. These results suggest that the metabolic rate induced by feeding is the primary factor regulating ascorbate requirement.  相似文献
