With the rapid development of the aquaculture industry, it encounters several challenges, notably the increased costs of fishmeal protein sources. Although dietary lipid supplementation can decrease protein demand, high-fat diet (HFD) often compromises the aquatic products' muscle texture. Adipose tissue is an organ for storing energy. Recent study indicates that altering its expansion pattern by promoting adipocyte hyperplasia increased the tolerance of fish to HFD; however, in this context, whether the muscle texture could be improved remains elusive. A total of 270 subadult grass carp (Ctenopharyngodon idellus) (357.04 ± 1.32 g) were randomly allocated into 15 net cages. The experimental group received a HFD supplemented with the peroxisome proliferators-activated receptors γ (pparγ) agonist rosiglitazone to augment adipocyte hyperplasia. Promoting adipocyte hyperplasia significantly increased growth performance and enhanced muscle texture of grass carp fed with HFD, in the condition of raw and cooked meat, including spring, shear force, gumminess, chewiness, cohesiveness, and hardness (P < 0.05). Mechanistic investigations showed that promoting adipocyte hyperplasia increased the secretion of adipokine insulin-like growth factor-2 (Igf2). Subsequently, myogenic differentiation was promoted via myostatin expression inhibition in the muscle (P < 0.05), thereby improving the muscle texture of grass carp fed with HFD. Our data proved the existence of adipose tissue-muscle crosstalk driven by Igf2 and myostatin during promoting adipocyte hyperplasia. Thus, this research suggests targeting adipocyte expansion patterns via nutritional interventions, especially by incorporating pparγ-activating compounds, could be utilized to develop functional feed additives to counteract HFD's negative impacts on muscle texture.
