For the
in vivo study, seabream specimens were fed for 1 or 2 weeks with a commercial diet supplemented
with inulin: 0 (control), 5 or 10 g inulin kg1 diet (0.5 and 1%, respectively). Inulin produced
a significant inhibition in phagocytosis and respiratory burst in leucocytes from
specimens fed diets containing 0.5% or 1% of inulin for 1 week.
