Abstract:   (3953 Views)

The aim of present study was to investigate the effects of A. millefolium hydroalcoholic extract on mucosal immune response (lysozyme, total immunoglobin and protease) as well as immune related (TNF-alfa) gene expression in Goldfish (C. auratus). For this purpose, 180 fish (average weight=0.192± 0.014 g) were randomly divided in 6 aquaria (two replicate) and were fed with A. millefolium extract (at three levels 0, 2 and 4 gr/kg) for six months. Evaluation of mucosal immune parameters revealed that supplementation of diet with A. millefolium significantly increased the lyzozyme and protease activity in fish fed with 4 gr/kg extract compared to control group and diet with 2 gr/kg. No significant differences were observed in total immunogloubin in fish fed with supplemented diet compared to control group). TNF-alfa gene expression data significantly increased in fish fed with A. millefolium extract compared to control group in a dose-dependent manner. According to the results obtained from this study, diet supplemented with A. millefolium extract could modulate skin mucus immunity as well as expression of inflammatory cytokine in goldfish.
