Optimization of the Balance between Protein, Lipid and Carbohydrate in Diets for Lumpfish (Cyclopterus lumpus)

Figure 6

Effects of adding the bacterial mimic lipopolysaccharide (LPS) and the virus mimic polyinosinic acid : polycytidylic acid (PIC) on expression of immune genes in primary cultures of leucocytes isolated from lumpfish head kidney fed selected diets. Diets are indicated in the attached triangle (simplified Figure 1, diet 1/HP, high protein, diet 3/HL, high lipid medium protein and low carbohydrate diet 12/HC, high carbohydrate, high lipid and low protein, ; control, ; LPS, ; PIC, . Two-way ANOVA. Letters designate overall significant differences between diets, while asterisks designate significant differences between treatments when compared to the respective controls within a specific diet; . Interaction between diet and treatment (DxT) is given where appropriate).
