Low effect of β-mannan on gene regulation in Atlantic salmon

In this thesis the effect of the prebiotic β-mannan on the molecular function of different tissues in Atlantic salmon was tested. As the fiber has proven metabolism-promoting effects in other terrestrial animals and humans, it is hypothesized that the addition of β-mannans can increase the productio...
