At the end of feeding trial, RNA was extracted from brain and liver and cDNA synthesized using Suprime Script RTase and expression of growth related genes, GH (brain) and IGF-1(liver), were assessed using Real-time PCR. Mucosal immune indices (ALP and Ig) were measured using kit. The study of growth related genes in brain indicated significant increase of GH gene in fish fed non alkohalic beer concentrate compared to control (P<0.05). However, the results of IGF1 gene expression revealed no significant difference among treatments (P>0.05). The skin mucus ALP activity and Ig level in fish fed non alkohalic beer concentrate were significantly higher than those in control group (P<0.05). According to these results, administration of non alkohalic beer concentrate can improve immunity and growth in common carp. M3 ER -
