TLDR
In trout given the lowest dietary vitamin E intake, tissue levels of vitamin E were lowest in skeletal muscle, concentrations in most other soft tissues were about threefold that in muscle but higher levels were found in brain and increased erythrocyte fragility occurred in those fish given diets low in vitamin E.

Endogenous skeletal muscle antioxidants

TL;DR: The oxidative stability of skeletal muscle is also influenced by the histidine-containing dipeptides, carnosine and anserine, which are thought to inhibit lipid oxidation by a combination of free radical scavenging and metal chelation.

Rainbow Trout, Oncorhynchus mykiss

TL;DR: Rainbow trout can tolerate a wide range of water temperatures and other environmental variables, such as water quality, but they require highly oxygenated water and thrive in water temperatures of 13–18°C.

Nutrient Requirements Of Fish

TL;DR: The nutrient requirements of fish is universally compatible with any devices to read and is available in the book collection an online access to it is set as public so you can get it instantly.

Effects of dietary vegetable, animal and marine lipids on muscle lipid and hematology of rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss)

TL;DR: Hematological tests revealed oxidative stress caused by the OMP-1 diet, as measured by hemolysis, while hematocrit and percent hemoglobin values fell within a narrow range across diet groups, suggesting that a physiologically optimum level of long chain fatty acids is maintained in rainbow trout.

Relative susceptibility of microsomes from lung, heart, liver, kidney, brain and testes to lipid peroxidation: Correlation with vitamin E content

TL;DR: Data provide strong support for the role of vitamin E as the major cellular antioxidant, especially in the highly oxygenated tissues of heart and lung, and demonstrate the utility of the microsomal system in characterizing tissue differences in susceptibility to peroxidative membrane decomposition.
Journal ArticleDOI

Essential fatty acids in the diet of rainbow trout (Salmo gairdneri): growth, feed conversion and some gross deficiency symptoms.

TL;DR: The requirement of linolenic acid (ω3 fatty acids) for rainbow trout is 1% of the diet or approximately 2.7% of their dietary calories as mentioned in this paper, which is the highest requirement of any fish.
Journal ArticleDOI

Influence of thermal acclimation on membrane lipid composition of rainbow trout liver

TL;DR: Temperature-induced changes in the chemical composition of trout liver phospholipids counteracted the effects of acute temperature change on nonelectrolyte permeability of isolated liposomes, suggesting a preferential incorporation of fatty acids belonging to the linolenic acid family at reduced temperatures.

Microsomal lipid peroxidation. I. Characterization of the role of iron and NADPH

TL;DR: The NADPH/iron-dependent peroxidation of lipids in rat liver microsomes was found to depend on the presence of free ferrous iron and the role of NADPH appears to be maintenance of iron in the reduced Fe2+ state.
