Effects of Apple Polyphenols and Taurine on Growth Performance, Tissue Morphology, and Lipid and Glucose Metabolism in Rice Field Eel (Monopterus albus) Fed High Oxidized Fish Oil

Figure 5

Effects of apple polyphenols (AP) and taurine (TA) on mRNA expression levels of the liver pck1 (a), gsk3α (b), and muscle gsk3α (c). Data are expressed as the means ± SEM (n = 3). , or indicates that the POV600 and POV800 groups are significantly different from the Control group at (), () or (), ^# or ^## indicates that the AP group is significantly different from the POV600 group () or (), and ^& indicates that the TA group is significantly different from the POV800 group (). Note: pck1 = phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase 1 and gsk3α = glycogen synthase kinase 3α. POV600 (600 meq·kg⁻¹ OFO diet), POV800 (800 meq·kg⁻¹ OFO diet), AP (POV600 group supplemented with 0.5% apple polyphenols), and TA (POV800 group supplemented with 0.2% taurine).
