Transcriptomes of Litopenaeus vannamei reveal modulation of antioxidant system induced by dietary archaeal carotenoids
Oxidative stress induced by factors such as ammonia nitrogen has become a major issue in shrimp farming. The effects of carotenoids on the growth and antioxidant capability of Litopenaeus vannamei juveniles were investigated in this study using dietary archaeal carotenoids supplementation. For four...

Summary: | Oxidative stress induced by factors such as ammonia nitrogen has become a major issue in shrimp farming. The effects of carotenoids on the growth and antioxidant capability of
Litopenaeus vannamei
juveniles were investigated in this study using dietary archaeal carotenoids supplementation. For four weeks, shrimp were given diets containing 0 mg/kg (Ctrl) and 55.98 mg/kg (Car) archaeal carotenoids. Dietary archaeal carotenoids significantly enhanced the astaxanthin content in shrimp muscles and carapaces, as well as the superoxide dismutase (SOD) and glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px) activity (
