Effects of faba beans (Vicia faba L.) on muscle texture and fibrosis biomarkers of Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus)

Type: article

Abstract: , which is known to inhibit fibrosis, was downregulated in the faba bean-fed group. Overall, our study founded that feeding tilapia with faba beans can change muscle textural quality by altering the muscle fibres and collagen content. We also identified genes which induce changes in fibrosis of muscle that are related to the improved textural quality in crisp tilapia, providing theoretical guidance for the regulation of crispy tilapia.
