Effects of Dietary Bile Acids on Growth Performance, Lipid Deposition, and Intestinal Health of Rice Field Eel (Monopterus albus) Fed with High-Lipid Diets

Figure 1

Effects of dietary bile acids (BAs) on the body composition and total lipid content in liver and muscle of rice field eel (Monopterus albus) fed with HLDs. Each data point represents the mean of four replicates (n = 4, mean ± SEM). Means between the CON and the HL group. Bars assigned with different superscripts are significantly different () among the HL, HLLB, and HLHB groups. P_linear means statistical results of orthogonal polynomial contrasts. ns, no significant. Whole body moisture (a), whole body ash (b), whole body crude protein (c), whole body crude lipid (d), liver total lipid (e), and muscle total lipid (f). Treatment groups: CON, control group; HL, high lipid diets group; HLLB, high lipid diets supplementing with 0.025% bile acid group; and HLHB, high lipid diets supplementing with 0.05% bile acid group.
