Effects of alpha-lipoic and ascorbic acid on the muscle and brain fatty acids and antioxidant profile of the South American pacu Piaractus mesopotamicus

Abstract

The effects of dietary alpha-lipoic acid (LA) and vitamin C on the fatty acid (FA) composition in the brain and muscle and vitamins E and C levels in the brain were studied in the fish Piaractus mesopotamicus. A two-factorial design, where diets were devoid or supplemented with ascorbate (500 mg AA kg(-1)) and/or lipoic acid (1000 mg kg(-1)), was used. The levels of eicosapentaenoic acid (20:5n-3, EPA) increased (P
