Sen Zhang
Contributed to a study showing that largemouth bass have a weak insulin/mTOR/SREBP1 fat-making pathway, so excess dietary carbohydrate is stored as liver glycogen rather than fat
Fish nutrition & physiology researcher · Shanghai Ocean University, China
Sen Zhang is based at Shanghai Ocean University's Research Centre of Environmental Ecology and Fish Nutrition. In a 2026 FASEB Journal paper, the team compared largemouth bass (which handles dietary carbohydrate poorly) with Nile tilapia, showing that high-carbohydrate diets fail to properly engage the insulin-responsive AKT1/mTOR/SREBP1 lipogenesis pathway in bass liver, so surplus glucose piles up as glycogen instead of being converted to fat.
