From: Functional genomics reveals increases in cholesterol biosynthetic genes and highly unsaturated fatty acid biosynthesis after dietary substitution of fish oil with vegetable oils in Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar)

Figure 1

Expression of various enzyme activities in vegetable oil fed Atlantic salmon. Results are expressed relative to fish oil. Those which are significantly different from fish oil (p ≤ 0.05 t-test) are indicated with an asterisk. BOX, total palmitoyl CoA beta-oxidation; CPT1, carnitine palmitoyl CoA transferase; HUFA, highly unsaturated fatty acid synthesis; ME, malic enzyme. Specific enzyme activities for control fish are: BOX, 33.6 ± 4.7 pmol palmitoyl-CoA oxidised/min/mg protein; CPT1, 56.7 ± 14.8 pmol palmitoyl-carnitine produced/min/mg protein; HUFA, 2.88 ± 0.1 pmol linolenic acid desaturation products/h/mg protein; ME, 69.8 ± 15.2 nmol malate oxidised/min/mg protein.
