Description
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 (Pb0.01) in muscle polar lipids (PL) in LA groups (6.93%
