SETD1B and Hyperglycemia: We found a higher expression of histone methyltransferase setd1b gene and an increased histone H3 tri-methylated at lysine 4 (H3K4me3) in the fish of Group B. Furthermore, using ChIP assay and inhibitor treatment, we found that the up-regulated H3K4me3 could activate pepck expression, which might have contributed to the hyperglycemia and anorexia in the mandarin fish that fed on carbohydrate-rich diets.
