Hepatic mRNA levels for Srebp-1 (a), Accα (b), Scd (c), Fas (d), Cpt1α (e), Pparα (f), Cd36 (g), Fatp5 (h) in tilapia fed a commercial diet un-supplemented (control) or supplemented with 1% or 2%Arg. Values are means ± SEM, n = 3 tanks per group. Means without a common letter differ, P < 0.05. Srebp-1, sterol regulatory element-binding protein-1; Accα, acetyl-CoA carboxylase; Scd, stearoyl-CoA desaturase; Fas, fatty acid synthase; Cpt1α, carnitine palmitoyltransferase 1α; Pparα, peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor α; Cd36, cluster determinant 36; Fatp5, fatty acid transport protein 5
