 The present study investigated how early nutrition affects carbohydrate metabolism in Nile tilapia. The researchers fed fry with either a high protein low carb or a low protein high carb diet for four weeks, then followed up with the fish until they reached adulthood. They found that the fish fed the high protein low carb diet had lower levels of mRNA for genes coding for gluconeogenesis and amino acid catabolism as well as higher levels of HK2, P less than 0.05. When these fish reached adulthood, those who had been fed the high protein low carb diet grew more slowly than those who have been fed the low protein high carb diet. However, the high protein low carb diet group still had better growth when compared to the control group. This suggests that the early high carb diet has long-term effects on the fish's metabolism, even after it reaches adulthood. These effects include changes in liver composition, increased news.
