Lipotoxic Effects of Gossypol Acetate Supplementation on Hepatopancreas Fat Accumulation and Fatty Acid Profile in Cyprinus carpio

Table 3

Free gossypol in the tissues of Cyprinus carpio.

Group	Gossypol acetate supplementation (mg/kg)
Tissue	0	170	340	680
Serum (μg/mL)	^b	^b	^a	^a
Bile (μg/ml)	^c	^c	^b	^a
Hepatopancreas (μg/g)	^c	^c	^b	^a

Data are shown as (). Lowercase letters in the same row indicate significant differences from the control group (). Increasing the dietary gossypol acetate content also increased the deposition of gossypol acetate in the hepatopancreas (F), bile (G), and serum (H) in common carp. The free gossypol content was the highest in the hepatopancreas.
