Comparative study investigates the impact of low and high polarity extracts on juvenile carp growth and metabolism, suggesting dietary implications.

The study aims to compare the effects of low and high polarity extracts of Angelica sinensis on growth and metabolism in juvenile carp.
Conducted a 42-day feeding trial with 780 juvenile carp divided into 13 groups.
Utilized basic, low polarity extract (LPE), and high polarity extract (HPE) diets for comparison.
Measured growth, body composition, and various metabolic parameters.
LPE reduced weight gain, condition factor, and certain enzyme activities in digestive organs.
HPE improved weight gain and condition factor while reducing ammonia and amino acids in plasma.
Dietary LPE inhibited body lipid growth, whereas HPE enhanced growth and body lipid accumulation.

Li et al. (2026) studied this question.
