(-)-Epigallocatechin-3-O-Gallate Regulates Muscle Growth, Antioxidant Status, and Nutritional Composition of Juvenile Common Carp (Cyprinus carpio L.)

Figure 2

Effects of dietary EGCG on antioxidant parameters in the muscle of common carp (C. carpio L.) (n = 9). (a) The mRNA relative expression levels of antioxidant response-related genes. (b) proteincarbonyl (PC) contents. (c) malondialdehyde (MDA) contents. (d) total antioxidant capacity (T-AOC). Data are means ± SEM. One-way ANOVA followed by Duncan’s test was used to analyze the discrepancy among all test groups. Different symbols denote significant differences (). The P-values indicate a significantly linear or quadratic dose–response relationship. Liner trend and quadratic trend were analyzed by polynomial contrasts (A, ANOVA; L, linear; Q, quadratic). Different column colors represent dietary EGCG supplemented at 0, 0.05, 0.25, 0.5, or 1 g/kg.
