Abstract

In the reproductive period, the female fish experiences an increase in metabolism due to the variety of reproductive activities, including the synthesis of vitellogenin. High metabolic activity with insufficient availability of endogenous antioxidants can increase free radical production. The measurement of free radical levels can be determined by calculating the concentration of malondialdehyde. This study was conducted to know the potency of curcumin and thyroxine hormone supplementation to support the antioxidant activity during the reproduction period. Our study used female broodstock of common carp as the experimental animal. In this study, we used forty female broodstock divided into 8 groups of treatment. The results showed that supplementation of curcumin and thyroxine hormone during the reproduction period has the potency to support the antioxidant activity.
