This work aims to determine effects of white-button mushroom powder (WBMP) on mucosal immunity, antioxidant defence, and growth of common carp (Cyprinus carpio). 192 fish were fed the following diets: 0% (control), 0.5%, 1%, and 2% of WBMP for 8 weeks. The results illustrated that intestinal mRNA levels of Glutathione reductase (GR) and glutathione S-transferases (GST) genes in fish fed 2% WBMP diet were significantly higher compared with control group and other treated diets (P < .05). However, no significant difference was noticed in case of GR and GST gene expressions in fish fed 0.5% WBMP and control group (P > .05). The expression genes encoding Tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α), Interleukin 1 (IL1), and Interleukin 8 (IL8) in the skin of WBMP fed fish significantly elevated compared to the control group (P < .05); the highest expression levels was noticed following feeding on 1 …
