Outline of Final Research Achievements

The aim of this study is to reveal the effect of energy metabolism to stress response and its relationship to skeletal muscle metabolism. We revealed that stress responses affected muscle metabolism and degradation of extracellular matrix in teleost. In addition, differences in energy metabolisms influenced the muscle metabolisms. Furthermore, there is a possibility that oryzanol activate energy metabolisms in the muscle of zebrafish. As a result of this study, it was suggested that alteration of energy metabolism promotes protein synthesis system, influences autophagy, and has stress relief effect, thereby affecting quality of fish meat.
