Effects of dietary α-lipoic acid on growth, body composition and antioxidant status in the Plata pompano Trachinotus marginatus (Pisces, Carangidae)

This study evaluated the effect of four doses of α-lipoic acid (LA) from dietary supplementation on growth performance, body composition and anti-oxidant status in the fish Trachinotus marginatus. The fish fed for 42days with a diet containing different concentrations of LA: 0mgLAkg−1 dry food, 316....

Description
Summary:This study evaluated the effect of four doses of α-lipoic acid (LA) from dietary supplementation on growth performance, body composition and anti-oxidant status in the fish Trachinotus marginatus. The fish fed for 42days with a diet containing different concentrations of LA: 0mgLAkg−1 dry food, 316.4mgLAkg−1 dry food, 524mgLAkg−1 dry food, 890.4mgLAkg−1 dry food and 1367.3mgLAkg−1 dry food. High doses (890.4 and 1367.3mgLAkg−1) of dietary LA significantly reduced the growth (p
