    Abstract:
    A nine-week feeding trial was conducted to comprehensively investigate the effects of different levels of dietary lipid on intestinal physiology of juvenile turbot. Three diets with different lipid levels (8%, 12% and 16%) were formulated, which were designated as the low-lipid group (LL), medium-lipid group (ML) and high-lipid group (HL), respectively. Each diet was fed to six replicate tanks, and each tank was stocked with 35 fish. The results revealed that medium dietary lipid (12%) increased the activities of intestinal digestive enzymes and brush border enzymes. Excessive dietary lipid (16%) decreased the intestinal antioxidative enzyme levels and increased the lipid peroxidation pressure. In addition, HL stimulated the occurrence of intestinal inflammation and significantly up-regulated the mRNA expression level of tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), interleukin-1β (IL-1β), interferon-γ (IFN-γ) and transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β). Dietary LL and HL induced the apoptosis of intestinal epithelial cells. Sequencing of bacterial 16 s rRNA V4 region indicated that the abundance and diversity of intestinal microflora in fish fed with medium lipid diet (12%) were significantly higher than those in other groups, indicating the intestinal microflora ecology in group ML was more balanced. MetaStat analysis indicated that both low- and high-lipid diets significantly reduced the relative abundance of intestinal beneficial bacteria. In conclusion, results of this study demonstrated the sensitivity of intestinal health and microbiota to dietary lipid levels. From the perspective of microecological balance, medium dietary lipid (12%) was more conducive to maintaining the intestinal microflora stability of turbot.
