肌醇对鲫鱼组织脂肪、蛋白质氧化及抗氧化状态的影响

文章旨在探讨肌醇对鲫鱼组织器官脂肪、蛋白质氧化及抗氧化状态的影响。试验选择初始体重为(23.2±0.10)g的鲫鱼1680条,随机分为7组,每组4个重复,每个重复60条,试验共进行9周。对照组为基础日粮(肌醇含量为150mg/kg,计算值),处理1~6组分别在基础日粮中添加100mg/kg肌醇,使各处理组肌醇含量分别为250、350、450、550、650和750mg/kg。对照组肌肉丙二醛含量最高(P<0.05),且随日粮肌醇添加水平的升高而降低,其中550mg/kg肌醇组肌肉丙二醛含量最低(P<0.05)。肌醇组较对照组显著提高了肌肉抗羟自由基水平(P<0.05)。随着日粮肌醇水平升高至350mg/kg,肌肉超氧化物歧化酶活力和谷胱甘肽含量显著升高(P<0.05)。与对照组相比,肌醇组均显著提高了肌肉过氧化物酶和谷胱甘肽还原酶活力(P<0.05)。随着日粮肌醇水平升高至450mg/kg,小肠丙二醛含量显著降低(P<0.05),小肠过氧化物酶活力显著升高(P<0.05)。对照组肝脏MDA含量最高(P<0.05),之后随着肌醇水平升高至650mg/kg时显著降低(P<0.05)。随着日粮肌醇水平升高至350mg/kg,肝脏谷胱甘肽过氧化物酶活力显著升高(P<0.05),而对照组谷胱甘肽含量最低(P<0.05),450和550mg/kg肌醇组最高(P<0.05)。结论:鲫鱼日粮添加肌醇可以通过增强自由基清除能力,提高抗氧化酶活力,有效预防肌肉、小肠、肝脏的脂质过氧化和蛋白氧化。     

不同硒源对鲫鱼生长性能、抗氧化酶活性、肌肉成分及硒沉积的影响

文章旨在研究亚硒酸钠或硒代蛋氨酸对鲫鱼生长性能、抗氧化酶活性、肌肉成分及硒沉积的影响,试验选择120条初始体重为(14.5±0.49)g的鲫鱼,随机分为3组,每组4个重复,每个重复10条。3组分别给予基础日粮(对照组)、0.5?mg/kg硒(以亚硒酸钠或硒代蛋氨酸形式,T1或T2组),试验为期30?d。结果显示:与对照组相比,T1和T2组显著提高鲫鱼的特定生长率,分别提高41.15%和44.13%(P 0.05),同时末重也显著提高了13.51%和13.06%(P 0.05),但T1和T2组对鲫鱼的末重和特定生长速率无显著影响(P 0.05)。日粮处理对鲫鱼成活率和饲料转化率均无显著影响(P 0.05)。对照组较T1和T2组显著降低了肌肉硒水平(P 0.05)。与对照组和T1组相比,T2组肌肉硒含量最高(P 0.05)。虽然不同硒源对肝脏和血清谷胱甘肽过氧化物酶活性的影响均无显著差异(P 0.05),但补充硒提高了肝脏和血清抗氧化酶活性。综上所述,日粮添加不同硒源(硒代蛋氨酸和亚硒酸钠)能提高鲫鱼生长性能、谷胱甘肽过氧化物酶活性和肌肉硒浓度。此外,有机硒(硒代蛋氨酸)比无机形式(亚硒酸钠)的效果更好。

饲粮硒来源及添加水平对仔猪组织中细胞内谷胱甘肽过氧化物酶基因mRNA表达的影响

本文旨在研究饲粮中硒来源及添加水平对仔猪细胞内谷胱甘肽过氧化物酶(GPX1)mRNA表达的影响,为合理利用各种硒源提供一定的理论基础.选择35日龄体重相近的三江白猪仔猪90头,随机分为10组,每组3个重复,每个重复3头猪.分别在9个试验组饲粮中添加纳米硒、酵母硒、亚硒酸钠,其剂量以硒计,添加量分别为0.1、0.3、0.5 mg/kg 3个水平,对照组饲粮中不另添加硒.试验期为35 d,试验结束后采用反转录RT-PCR技术测定仔猪肝脏、肾脏、脾脏、肌肉组织中GPX1 mRNA的表达量.结果表明:1)在肝脏组织中,0.5 mg/kg纳米硒组GPX1 mRNA表达量显著高于亚硒酸钠组(P<0.05),0.5 mg/kg纳米硒组和0.3 mg/kg酵母硒组显著高于对照组(P<0.05);2)在肾脏组织中,各试验组之间GPX1 mRNA表达量差异均不显著(P>0.05);3)在脾脏组织中,0.5 mg/kg纳米硒组GPX1 mRNA表达量显著高于酵母硒组和亚硒酸钠组(P<0.05),0.5 mg/kg纳米硒组和0.3 mg/kg酵母硒组显著高于对照组(P<0.05);4)在肌肉组织中,0.5 mg/kg纳米硒组GPX1 mRNA表达量显著低于亚硒酸钠组和对照组(P<0.05).由此可见,在饲粮中添加0.5 mg/kg纳米硒能够提高仔猪肝脏、脾脏中GPX1 mRNA的表达量,而肌肉组织中的表达水平则低于亚硒酸钠组和对照组.     

Selenium and glutathione peroxidase levels in lambs receiving feed supplemented with sodium selenite or selenomethionine

Twenty-one 6 months old female lambs were divided into 7 groups and fed a basal diet containing 0.13 mg Se/kg. The basal diet was further supplemented with 0, 0.1, 0.5 or 1.0 mg Se/kg either as sodium selenite or as selenomethionine, and was fed for 10 weeks. Both feed additives produced an increase in the selenium concentration in the tissues analysed. Significant correlations were found between the concentrations of selenomethionine or sodium selenite added to the feed and the subsequent tissue levels. However, the selenium levels seemed to plateau at approximately 0.5 mg Se/kg of supplemented sodium selenite. The total glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px) activity of the tissues increased when the selenium supplementation increased from 0 to 0.1 mg/kg for both selenium compounds. With further increase in selenium supplementation the GSH-Px activity in the tissues plateaued except in the blood where the activity continued to rise with increasing selenomethionine supplementation. The selenium dependent GSH-Px activity in the liver rose with increasing selenomethionine supplementation, but approached a plateau when 0.1 mg Se/kg as sodium selenite was added to the feed. The selenium concentration in whole blood responded more rapidly to the selenium supplementation than did GSH-Px activity. The experiment indicates that the optimal selenium concentration in the feed is considerably higher than 0.1 mg Se/kg, and that selenium levels of 1.0 mg/kg in the feed do not result in any risk for the animals or the consumers of the products.Key words: dietary selenium, lambs, selenium concentrations, glutathione peroxidase activities, tissues     

Selenium deposition in tissues and eggs of laying hens given surplus of selenium as selenomethionine

Forty-eight Norwegian bred White Leghorn chickens were divided into 6 groups and fed a basal diet containing 0.30 mig Se/kg supplemented with 0, 0.1, 0.5, 1.0, 3.0 or 6.0 mg Se/ kg in the form of selenomethionine for 18 weeks. A supplement of only 0.1 mg Se/kg induced significantly higher selenium concentrations in breast muscle and eggs, particularly in the egg white. The increase of selenium in the tissue and egg was proportional to the amounts of selenomethionine added to the feed. In the group given 6.0 mg Se/kg, the selenium concentrations in all tissues and eggs analysed ranged from 4.8 to 7.3 μg Se/g. No signs of toxic effects were observed even at the highest intake of selenium. Excess supply of selenium as selenomethionine to chickens was shown to be more potent than sodium selenite in raising the selenium concentration in tissues and eggs. A supplementation up to 10 times the requirement did not increase the levels of selenium in poultry products to such a degree that they could be considered as a potential risk for human consumption.Key words: dietary selenium, laying hens, selenium concentrations, tissues, eggs     

Evaluation of the respiratory elimination kinetics of selenium after oral administration in sheep

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the respiratory excretion and elimination kinetics of organic and inorganic selenium after oral administration in sheep. ANIMALS: 38 crossbred sheep. PROCEDURES: Selenium was administered PO to sheep as a single dose of 0, 1, 2, 3, or 4 mg/kg as sodium selenite or selenomethionine. Expired air was collected and analyzed from all sheep at 4, 8, and 16 hours after administration. RESULTS: Clinical signs consistent with selenium intoxication were seen in treatment groups given sodium selenite but not in treatment groups given the equivalent amount of selenium as selenomethionine. However, a distinct garlic-like odor was evident in the breath of all sheep receiving 2 to 4 mg of selenium/kg. The intensity of odor in the breath did not correlate with clinical signs in affected animals receiving sodium selenite treatment. CONCLUSIONS AND CLINICAL RELEVANCE: The concentration of selenium in expired air was greater in sheep receiving selenium as selenomethionine than sodium selenite. The concentration of selenium in expired air from sheep receiving high doses of selenium (3 and 4 mg of selenium/kg) was larger and selenium was expired for a longer duration than the concentration of selenium in expired air from sheep receiving low doses of selenium (1 and 2 mg of selenium/kg).     

Comparative toxicosis of sodium selenite and selenomethionine in lambs.

Excess consumption of selenium (Se) accumulator plants can result in selenium intoxication. The objective of the study reported here was to compare the acute toxicosis caused by organic selenium (selenomethionine) found in plants with that caused by the supplemental, inorganic form of selenium (sodium selenite). Lambs were orally administered a single dose of selenium as either sodium selenite or selenomethionine and were monitored for 7 days, after which they were euthanized and necropsied. Twelve randomly assigned treatment groups consisted of animals given 0, 1, 2, 3, or 4 mg of Se/kg of body weight as sodium selenite, or 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, or 8 mg of Se/kg as selenomethionine. Sodium selenite at dosages of 2, 3, and 4 mg/kg, as well as selenomethionine at dosages of 4, 6, and 8 mg/kg resulted in tachypnea and/or respiratory distress following minimal exercise. Severity and time to recovery varied, and were dose dependent. Major histopathologic findings in animals of the high-dose groups included multifocal myocardial necrosis and pulmonary alveolar vasculitis with pulmonary edema and hemorrhage. Analysis of liver, kidney cortex, heart, blood, and serum revealed linear, dose-dependent increases in selenium concentration. However, tissue selenium concentration in selenomethionine-treated lambs were significantly greater than that in lambs treated with equivalent doses of sodium selenite. To estimate the oxidative effects of these selenium compounds in vivo, liver vitamin E concentration also was measured. Sodium selenite, but not selenomethionine administration resulted in decreased liver vitamin E concentration. Results of this study indicate that the chemical form of the ingested Se must be known to adequately interpret tissue, blood, and serum Se concentrations.     

Interactions between dietary selenium,copper and sodium nitroprusside,a source of cyanide in growing chicks and laying hens

1. Diets containing supplements of selenium (10 mg/kg as sodium selenite), copper (500 mg/kg as copper (II) sulphate) and sodium nitroprusside (SNP 300 mg/kg) as a source of cyanide, were fed singly and in all possible combinations to chicks from 14 to 35 d of age.

2. Both copper and SNP individually alleviated the growth depression caused by excess selenium but interacted adversely with one another. The effect of SNP was to decrease liver selenium but copper increased it. Despite this contrast it is suggested that both achieve their beneficial effects through influences on the fraction of liver selenium that can be reduced to volatile forms by hydrochloric acid and zinc.

3. In a second experiment the effects of diets containing additional selenium (2 mg/kg as sodium selenite or selenomethionine) with or without additional copper (100 mg/kg) or SNP (100 mg/kg) on selenium incorporation into eggs were compared.

4. SNP reduced incorporation from selenite whereas copper had no effect. However, copper reduced the incorporation from selenomethionine into the protein fractions of egg white as much as SNP.     

Effect of selenium on sheep lymphocyte responses to mitogens

The effect of selenium (Se) on sheep lymphocyte response to mitogens was studied. In an indoor experiment lambs were fed a basal diet containing 0.13 mg Se kg-1, and supplemented with, respectively, 0.1 or 0.5 mg Se kg-1, either as sodium selenite or as selenomethionine. Enhancement of the proliferative response of lymphocytes to phytohaemagglutinin (PHA), pokeweed mitogen (PWM) and concanavalin A was found in lambs following selenium supplementation at the lower levels. The highest dietary selenium content, however, induced decreased mitogen response. Transient increases in lymphocyte response to PHA and PWM by ewes supplemented with selenium was demonstrated in one field study and a combined effect of selenium and vitamin E was seen in another. There was no stimulatory effect on the mitogen response of lymphocytes from sheep supplemented with dietary vitamin E alone.     

Primary hair growth in dogs depends on dietary selenium concentrations

Selenium (Se) plays an important role in hair growth. The objective of this study was to investigate the effect of dietary selenium concentration on hair growth in dogs. Thirty-six beagles were stratified into six groups based on age, gender and body condition score. The dogs were fed a torula yeast-based canned food for 3 weeks. Then the dogs were fed varying amounts of selenium supplied as selenomethionine for an additional 24 weeks. Analysed selenium concentrations in the experimental foods for the six groups were 0.04, 0.09, 0.12, 0.54, 1.03 and 5.04 mg/kg dry matter respectively. Body weight and food intake were not affected by the selenium treatments. Serum selenium concentration was similar initially but was significantly different at the end of the study among groups. Dietary selenium concentration below 0.12 mg/kg diet may be marginal for an adult dog. Dietary treatment had no effect on serum total thyroxine (TT(4)), free thyroxine (FT(4)), and free 3,3',5-triiodothyronine (FT(3)). There was a significant diet and time interaction (p = 0.038) for total 3,3',5 triiodothyronine (TT(3)). Hair growth was similar among groups initially but significantly reduced in dogs fed diets containing 0.04, 0.09 or 5.04 mg Se/kg when compared with 0.12, 0.54 and 1.03 mg Se/kg at week 11 (p < 0.05) and week 22 (p = 0.061). These results demonstrated that both low and high selenium diets reduce hair growth in adult dogs.     

产蛋种鸡日粮中不同水平维生素E与有机和无机硒的效果研究

在３×５的两因子试验中,研究了不同添加水平维生素Ｅ（４、１４和２４ｍｇ／ｋｇ）与有机和无机硒（亚硒酸钠０．２０、０．３５和０．５０ｍｇ／ｋｇ,酵母硒０．３５和０．５０ｍｇ／ｋｇ）对褐壳蛋种母鸡在２０～４０周龄阶段生产繁殖性能和有关血液指标的影响。结果表明,产蛋母鸡的采食量、产蛋率、蛋重、产蛋量、饲料转化率和死淘率在３个维生素Ｅ添加水平间无差异;除了添加酵母硒０．５０ｍｇ／ｋｇ组蛋鸡的蛋重和产蛋量显著低于酵母硒０．３５ｍｇ／ｋｇ组以外,其它各项生产性能指标在各硒处理组间差异不明显。维生素Ｅ和硒可增加彼此在血液中的存留;当日粮中只补加维生素Ｅ４ｍｇ／ｋｇ时,将日粮亚硒酸钠硒添加水平由０．２０ｍｇ／ｋｇ提高到０．３５～０．５０ｍｇ／ｋｇ可使血浆α－生育酚含量由０．５０μｇ／ｍｌ上升到接近１．０μｇ／ｍｌ左右。     

大口黑鲈对饲料中酵母硒的耐受性研究

本试验旨在通过研究酵母硒对大口黑鲈生长性能、血浆生化指标、组织抗氧化指标及肝脏组织结构的影响,评价大口黑鲈对饲料中酵母硒的耐受性。在基础饲料中分别添加0(Y0)、0.5(Y0.5)、2.5(Y2.5)、5.0 mg/kg(Y5.0)(以硒计)酵母硒,其中0.5 mg/kg是硒的最高推荐剂量,2.5和5.0 mg/kg分别是最高推荐剂量(0.5 mg/kg)的5和10倍。基础饲料本底硒含量为0.76 mg/kg。选用初始体重为(12.99±0.01)g大口黑鲈,随机分为4组,每组6个重复,每个重复20尾,试验期为10周。结果表明:Y0组增重率和摄食率最低,同时其饲料系数也最低,均显著低于其余各组(P0.05)。Y0组血浆中碱性磷酸酶活性显著高于其余各组(P0.05)。Y0.5组血浆中高密度脂蛋白胆固醇含量显著高于其余各组(P0.05)。Y2.5组血浆中尿素氮含量显著高于其余各组(P0.05)。Y2.5组、Y5.0组血浆中免疫球蛋白M含量显著高于Y0组、Y0.5组(P0.05)。与Y0组相比,酵母硒的添加显著降低了血浆中丙二醛的含量(P0.05),且显著提高了血浆中谷胱甘肽过氧化物酶的活性(P0.05)。Y5.0组肝脏硒含量显著高于Y0组、Y 0.5组(P0.05),与Y2.5组无显著差异(P0.05)。硒日摄入量和肝脏硒含量呈显著线性相关(P0.05),肝脏硒含量随硒日摄入量的提高呈线性增加。各组大口黑鲈的肝脏都有不同程度的损伤,但添加0.5 mg/kg酵母硒对肝脏损伤有缓减作用。由上述结果可知,饲料中添加0.5 mg/kg酵母硒(总硒含量为1.29 mg/kg)对大口黑鲈具有一定的脂肪代谢促进作用和抗氧化保护功能,且对大口黑鲈是安全的。本试验条件下,综合生长性能、血浆生化指标、组织抗氧化指标及肝脏组织结构,饲料本底硒含量为0.76 mg/kg时,大口黑鲈对饲料中酵母硒的耐受剂量为0.5 mg/kg(以硒计),即为硒的最高推荐剂量,安全系数为1。鱼粉、磷虾粉等动物蛋白质源中含有较高水平的硒元素,因此在高鱼粉水产动物饲料中补充硒要慎重。     

Selenium requirements of dairy goats

Selenium is an essential part of the enzyme glutathione-peroxidase (GSH-Px) and plays an important role in the intracellular aspecific immune defence. Reference values for blood levels of GSH-Px are not available for dairy goats. The EU has authorized the addition of selenium (as E), in the form of sodium selenite or sodium selenate, to animal feeds, to a maximum of 0.5 mg selenium/kg complete feed. Dairy goats given feed containing the maximum level of selenium (0.5 mg/kg) had GSH-Px levels of more than 1000 U/g Hb. The reference values for GSH-Px in cattle, horses, and pigs are between 120 and 600 U/g Hb. Newborn kids had GSH-Px levels between 350 and 400 U/g Hb, comparable with those ofnewborn calves. In conclusion, the addition of selenium to feeds for dairy goats in amounts authorized by the EU leads to blood GSH-Px levels that are substantially higher than those in other species, such as horses, cattle, and pigs. Thus the maximum level of supplemental selenium in feeds for dairy goats should be less than 0.5 mg/kg.
