Multiple ways to promote adult grass carp (<i>Ctenopharyngodon idella</i>) muscle hypertrophy: Application of dietary myo-inositol.

ABSTRACT: Skeletal muscle constitutes the largest tissue in fish and represents the primary edible portion. Given the substantial differences in muscle growth dynamics between fish and mammals, fish serve as a crucial and distinctive model organism for investigating the fundamental mechanisms of growth regulation in vertebrates. Myo-inositol (MI), originally discovered in muscle, plays significant biological roles in growth regulation, membrane biogenesis, and transmembrane signal transduction. However, to date, no studies have investigated how MI affects adult fish growth and muscle development. A total of 450 adult grass carp (Ctenopharyngodon idella) (704.84 ± 0.91 g) were randomly divided into 6 treatments with 3 replicates of 25 fish each to receive dietary MI at 35.38 (basal diet, defic
