Dietary leucine regulates the intestinal immune status, immune-related signalling molecules and tight junction transcript abundance in grass carp (Ctenopharyngodon idella)

The role of leucine (Leu) in the regulation of the intestinal immune status, immune-related signalling molecules and tight junction (TJ) protein transcript abundance in the intestine of grass carp (Ctenopharyngodon idella) was investigated. Six iso-nitrogenous diets that contained graded levels of L...

Description
Summary:The role of leucine (Leu) in the regulation of the intestinal immune status, immune-related signalling molecules and tight junction (TJ) protein transcript abundance in the intestine of grass carp (Ctenopharyngodon idella) was investigated. Six iso-nitrogenous diets that contained graded levels of Leu (7.1–17.1gLeukg−1 diets) were fed to the fish for 8weeks. Compared with the control group, appropriate Leu supplementation increased (P
