Tryptophan supplements in high-carbohydrate diets by improving insulin response and glucose transport through PI3K-AKT-GLUT2 pathways in blunt snout bream (Megalobrama amblycephala)
The aim of this experiment was to elucidate the metabolic ramifications of tryptophan supplementation in the context of high-carbohydrate diet-feeding, which is important for improving feeding strategies in aquaculture in order to improve fish carbohydrate metabolism. Juvenile blunt snout bream with an initial mean body mass of 55.0±0.5 g were allocated to consume one of three experimental diets: CN, a normal diet with carbohydrate content of 30% (w/w); HC, a diet with high carbohydrate content of 43% (w/w); and HL, a high-carbohydrate diet to which 0.8% L-tryptophan (L-trp) had been added. These diets were fed for 8 weeks, and the effects of the carbohydrate and tryptophan contents of the diets were assessed.
Histological analysis using Hematoxylin and Eosin (H&E) and Oil Red O staining revealed that high-carbohydrate intake was associated with abnormal hepatocyte morphology and excessive liver lipid accumulation, which were notably ameliorated by tryptophan supplementation. A significant increase in plasma glucose, glucagon, AGEs (advanced glycation end products), triglycerides, total cholesterol, and a significant decrease in insulin and hepatic glycogen after a high-carbohydrate diet in terms of plasma indices, compared to the control group. Almost all of them were restored to the normal level in the HL group. The present study might preliminarily suggest that tryptophan supplementation ameliorates the imbalance in glucose metabolism of this species induced by a high-carbohydrate diet. Transcriptomics showed that glucose metabolism under high carbohydrate was mainly regulated by the PI3K-AKT signaling pathway. The mRNA expression and protein levels of GLUT2 also varied with this pathway, which would suggest that sustained activation of this pathway with the addition of tryptophan accelerates glucose transport and insulin secretion under high-carbohydrate diet. Subsequent GTT and ITT experiments have also demonstrated that tryptophan improves glucose tolerance and insulin tolerance in blunt snout bream on a high-carbohydrate diet.
In conclusion, these findings elucidate the positive regulatory effect of tryptophan on the PI3K-AKT-GLUT2 pathway under a high carbohydrate diet and provide a theoretical basis for the subsequent rational application of high carbohydrate diets in the future.
