The objective of this work was to evaluate fish oil replacement by soybean oil in diets, as for the effects on the performance and body composition of juveniles of fat snook (Centropomus parallelus). The experiment was carried out in a randomized block design, with three treatments (lipid sources) and six replicates, in a 60-day period. Fat snook juveniles (24.17±0.28g) were distributed in 18 experimental tanks of 200 L each, equipped with aeration and heating systems, under continuous water renovation (800% per day). Three isoproteic (44% CP) and isoenergetic (4,635 kcal CE kg-1) diets were formulated to comprise three replacement rates (0, 50, and 100%) of fish oil by soybean oil. Biometric analyses were done to evaluate fish performance, and two entire specimens from each replicate were used for body composition analyses. The zootechnical indices of weight gain (38.68±5.41 g), feed conversion (1.38±0.10), and specific growth at 1.70±0.18% weight gain per day were considered satisfactory. Lipid source substitution does not affect the performance and body composition of fat snook juveniles, which suggests that soybean oil can replace fish oil in diet formulation.

The effect of fat compositions with the varying ratio of polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) of families ω-3 and ω-6 on oxidation process intensity in microsomal fraction of rat liver has been investigated. The aim of the study was to investigate the level of markers of oxidative modification of lipids and proteins in microsomal fraction of rat liver. Fat components in the experiment diets were presented by sunflower oil, soybean oil and fish oil. Rats were fed using one of the fillowing 5 diets for the period of 4 weeks: 1) AIN-93 diet with 7% sunflower oil and fish oil, with the inclusion of linoleic acid, eicosapentaenoic acid and docosahexaenoic acid in the ratio of ω-6:ω-3 – 7:1 (control diet); 2) AIN-93 diet with 7% soybean oil, with the inclusion of linoleic acid and α-linolenic acid in the ratio of 7:1; 3) the diet containing only ω-6 PUFAs; 4) the diet containing only ω-3 PUFAs; 5) the diet without PUFAs. The fatty acid compositions of the diets were analysed by gas chromatography. We measured the primary and secondary lipoperoxidation products, proteins carbonyl derivatives and SH-groups of proteins. It was shown that inclusion of linoleic acid and α-linolenic acid in the ratio of 7:1 or ω-6 PUFAs into the animal diet increased lipid peroxidation in microsomal fraction of the rat liver as compared with the control group. Only ω-6 PUFAs increased the oxidative modification of proteins in microsomal fraction of the rat liver as compared with the control rat group. High dose of ω-3 PUFAs – eicosapentaenoic acid and docosahexaenoic acid had no influence on free radical oxidation of lipids and proteins. Using the diet without PUFAs increased oxidation process intensity in microsomal fraction of rat liver. According to our study, ω-6 PUFAs increased the oxidative modification of lipids and proteins in microsomal fraction of the rat liver. ω-3 PUFAs, in particular, eicosapentaenoic acid and docosahexaenoic acid, increased lipid and protein resistance to oxidative modification in microsomal fraction of the rat liver.

Omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids are associated with a lower risk of cardiometabolic diseases. However, docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) is easily oxidized, leading to cellular damage. The present study examined the effects of an increased concentration of DHA in fish oil (80% of total fatty acids) on cardiometabolic risk factors and oxidative stress compared to coconut oil, soybean oil, and fish oil containing eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and DHA in a balanced ratio. Forty healthy male Sprague–Dawley rats were supplemented with corresponding oil for 10 weeks. Supplementation with the fish oil containing 80% DHA decreased plasma fat, plasma total cholesterol and muscle fat compared to the coconut oil and the soybean oil. Increasing concentrations of DHA induced incorporation of DHA and EPA in cell membranes and tissues along with a decrease in ω-6 arachidonic acid. The increase in DHA promoted lipid peroxidation, protein carbonylation and antioxidant response. Taken together, the increased concentration of DHA in fish oil reduced fat accumulation compared to the coconut oil and the soybean oil. This benefit was accompanied by high lipid peroxidation and subsequent protein carbonylation in plasma and in liver. In our healthy framework, the slightly higher carbonylation found after receiving fish oil containing 80% DHA might be a protecting mechanism, which fit with the general improvement of antioxidant defense observed in those rats.

1. To investigate the effect of dietary fat source on host resistance to intracellular pathogens, weanling female C3H/Hen mice were fed one of three experimental diets containing, 20% by weight, lard, soybean oil or 17% menhaden fish oil plus 3% corn oil. After 4 weeks, survival of mice (n = 12/treatment group) injected intraperitoneally with 2 × 106 colony forming units of live Listeria monocytogenes was determined. In a second study, bacterial clearance from the liver and spleen at 2, 4 and 7 days post-challenge was determined (n = 8/treatment group). 2. We found that the survival of mice fed the diets with soybean oil or menhaden fish oil was significantly lower than those fed lard (P < 0.05). Survival rates were 58% (7/12), 33% (4/12) and 100% (12/12), respectively, for mice fed soybean oil, menhaden fish oil and lard. In the second study, mice fed menhaden fish oil had approximately 1 login greater bacteria in their spleens at day 4 than mice fed lard or soybean oil (P < 0.001). There were no significant treatment differences in the number of bacteria recovered from liver samples. 3. In summary, dietary fat source significantly affects murine resistance to Listeria, with diets rich in n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids, such as from fish oil, having the most detrimental effect.
