The effects of dietary curcumin on growth, antioxidant, transcriptome, and metabolomics in Macrobrachium rosenbergii fed a high plant-protein diet
Insufficient attention has been directed towards the effects of incorporating curcumin (CU) into high plant-protein feeds and the underlying mechanisms at play. This study aims to evaluate the physiological responses of Macrobrachium rosenbergii to varying levels of CU in diets with high soy protein concentrate (SPC), examining factors such as growth characteristics, proximate composition, antioxidant capacity, immunity, histopathology, transcriptome, and metabolomics.
