Modulation of immune parameters and antioxidant defense in zebrafish (Danio rerio) using dietary apple cider vinegar

In the present study, the effects of apple cider vinegar (ACV) on some immunological parameters and expression of genes related to immune system, growth and antioxidant system in zebrafish were evaluated. Fish (mean weight 67 ± 3.5 mg) were fed four diets with ACV at 0, 1.5, 3 and 4.5% for 8 weeks....

Description
Summary:In the present study, the effects of apple cider vinegar (ACV) on some immunological parameters and expression of genes related to immune system, growth and antioxidant system in zebrafish were evaluated. Fish (mean weight 67 ± 3.5 mg) were fed four diets with ACV at 0, 1.5, 3 and 4.5% for 8 weeks. At the end of the trial, no effects were observed on the growth performance and survival rates of fish fed ACV. Significantly higher complement titer and alkaline phosphatase activity in fish fed 3 and 4.5% ACV were observed in comparison with the control group (P
