Resumo: |
In aquatic organisms, changes in salinity in water provoke a variety of physiological responses, so this study aimed to evaluate the effect of water salinity on weight gain, survival and expression of the genes Catalase (CAT), Glutathione Reductase (GSR), Glutathione Synthase (GSS), Glutaione peroxidase (GPX), and heat shock protein (HSP70) in the liver of Nile Tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus). For the conduction of the experiment, 160 tilapias with a mean weight of 20.8 g ( ± 4.02) were used. The experiment was conducted in a completely randomized design (DIC) composed of four treatments and four replicates, being: T1 = Treatment 1 (salinity 0 + basal diet); T2 = Treatment 2 (salinity 7 + basal diet); T3 = Treatment 3 (salinity 21 + basal diet); T4 = treatment 4 (salinity 21 + diet with 1500 mg of vitamin C / kg of feed). The parameters of water quality were monitored daily and were kept within the range of comfort for the species. For the analysis of gene expression samples of liver of tilapia were collected in two distinct periods, 24 hours and 14 days after the beginning of the experiment. Gene expression quantification was performed by qRT-PCR. There was a significant effect of the treatments on weight gain, treatment 1 (4.10 g) and treatment 2 (6.42 g) had the highest weight improve. Animals from T4 had greater weight gain than animals from T3. Higher survival was observed in treatment 2 followed by control (T1). HSP 70 and GSS were more expressed in the 24 h period and GSRR was more expressed in the 14 day period, whereas CAT and GPX did not differ from one period to the other (P <0.05). The salinity variation had an effect under the expression of the genes evaluated in the liver of O. niloticus with the exception of catalase for the 24 hour period. After 14 days of evaluation, animals raised in salinity 21 and fed with vitamin C supplementation presented greater expression of GPX, GSR and GSS, suggesting that animals raised at this level of salinity had greater need of action of glutathione system, and that the supplementation of vitamin C under these conditions allowed greater expression of these genes. It was concluded that salinity had an effect on the expression of the antioxidant defense system genes evaluated, which varied considerably over the 24-hour period and presented a more defined pattern in the 14-day period. Supplementation of vitamin C contributed, in parts, for better development of tilapia created in salinity 21, which can be observed, through the results of weight gain and gene expression. |
