Indole-3-propionic acid enhances intestinal health and protects against Aeromonas hydrophila infection in high-fat-diet fed Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus)

Key Points

• Intestinal health improves significantly with indole-3-propionic acid treatment in high-fat diet-fed Nile tilapia, indicating a protective effect.
• Infection rates from Aeromonas hydrophila are lower in tilapia receiving indole-3-propionic acid, highlighting its potential benefits.
• Observed effects were noted in Nile tilapia exposed to high-fat diets for six weeks, demonstrating substantial dietary impact.
• Support for using indole-3-propionic acid as a dietary supplement; further studies could expand these findings.
