Material and Methods:A total number of 420 fish (45±0.1 mg) were supplied and randomly stocked in 60 L aquariums assigned to four treatments repeated in triplicates. Fish were with four experimental diets contain0, 0.5, 1 and 2% prebiotic for 8 weeks. At the end of feeding trial, total antioxidant activity as well as expression of antioxidant defense related genes Catalase (CAT) and Superoxide dismutase (SOD).Results:The obtained results revealed that administration of different levels of GOS had no significant effects on total antioxidant activity (P>0.05). Also, gene expression studies showed that CAT expression was remarkably down-regulated in fish fed 0.5 and 2% GOS (P0.05). Evaluation of SOD gene expression revealed significant down regulation in prebiotic fed fish (0.5, 1 and 2%) compared control group (P0.05).Counclusion:Based on these results, it seems that administration of GOS in zebra fish diet down-regulates antioxidant defense related genes without any effect on total antioxidant activity.
