Fasting Reveals the Effects of a Plant Extract- and Microalgae-Derived Nutraceutical on Lipid Metabolism and Hepatic Physiology in Juvenile Sparus aurata Fed a Plant-Based Diet.

PubMed · 2026-01-01

A nutraceutical blend from plant extracts and microalgae, added to a plant-based fish diet, altered how juvenile fish processed fats and managed liver function when food was withheld — suggesting these supplements can meaningfully shift metabolic resilience during stress.

A nutraceutical combining plant extracts and microalgae altered lipid metabolism pathways in juvenile fish livers during fasting stress

Hepatic (liver) physiology showed measurable changes in fish receiving the supplement compared to controls, indicating organ-level metabolic effects

The fasting challenge model revealed supplement effects that may not have been detectable under normal feeding conditions, highlighting stress as a diagnostic tool
