Sesamin modulation of lipid class and fatty acid profile in early juvenile teleost, Lates calcarifer, fed different dietary oils

► Sesamin, a plant-derived compound, as a modulator for lipid and fatty acid composition. ► Juvenile barramundi fed on echium oil, linseed oil or fish oil with/without sesamin. ► Growth rates reduced in animals receiving sesamin. ► n − 3 LC-PUFA (% of lipid) increased in animals fed on sesamin with ALA or SDA. ► Sesamin is a potent modulator for lipid composition and LC-PUFA biosynthesis.
