Isoenergetic replacement of fat by starch in diets for African catfish (Clarias gariepinus): effect on water fluxes in the gastro intestinal tract.

The effect of an isoenergetic replacement of dietary fat by starch, on chyme characteristics and water fluxes in the gastro intestinal tract (GIT) was assessed. Adult African catfish (Clarias gariepinus) were fed a starch (SD) or fat (FD) diet and groups of fish were dissected at 2, 5 and 8 h after...

Isoenergetic replacement of fat by starch in diets for African catfish (Clarias gariepinus): effect on water fluxes in the gastro intestinal tract.
description The effect of an isoenergetic replacement of dietary fat by starch, on chyme characteristics and water fluxes in the gastro intestinal tract (GIT) was assessed. Adult African catfish (Clarias gariepinus) were fed a starch (SD) or fat (FD) diet and groups of fish were dissected at 2, 5 and 8 h after the consumption of a single meal. Chyme was collected quantitatively and was analysed for osmolality and dry matter (DM) content. Postprandial water fluxes were calculated, while using yttrium oxide (Y(2)O(3)) as an inert marker to account for the absorption of DM along the GIT.

A high initial osmotic pressure was measured in the stomach for both diets (up to 498 ± 2 mOsm kg(-1)) and was likely the driver for the endogeneous water influx to this compartment. Large additions of water were recorded to the stomach and proximal intestine for both diets and absorption of water took place in the mid- and distal intestine.
