腺苷一磷酸激活蛋白激酶与采食量调节

<正>腺苷一磷酸激活蛋白激酶(AMPK)的概念首次出现在1988年。近几年的研究表明,AMPK在调节细胞能量代谢上起着重要作用,被称作细胞内的“燃料开关”,在动物抵御和适应环境应激的过程中也起着重要作用。最新研究显示,AMPK通过一些激素和养分等途径参与采食量的调节。本文总结了AMPK在采食量调节中的作用和可能机制,揭示研究其与动物营养代谢的重要性关系。     

Perinatal hypoxia induces subsequent retinal degeneration in the offspring of ovoviviparous fish, Xiphophorous maculates

OBJECTIVE: This experiment evaluated the perinatal hypoxic effect on the retina of offspring of the ovoviviparous fish. ANIMAL STUDIED: The ovoviviparous fish Xiphophorous maculates was used for the experiment. PROCEDURE: The mothers were kept in a hypoxic environment of 3.5% oxygen for 6 h, starting 30 h before hatching. Subsequently, the retinae of the offspring were fixed, sectioned at 6 microm and evaluated microscopically from the age of 1 to 35 days. RESULTS: Degeneration of the outer nuclear layer of the retina was noted on the 3rd day and severe retinal degeneration was observed on the 35th day. Immunocytochemistry confirmed apoptosis by TUNEL reaction. There was no difference in neovascularization, as revealed by vascular endothelial growth factor, between controls (group 1) and hypoxic fish (group 2). CONCLUSIONS: Perinatal hypoxia could have long-lasting effects on the central nervous system in some species.

猪繁殖与呼吸综合征病毒和致病性沙门氏菌的混合感染

2003年9～11月某猪场发生母猪持续性繁殖障碍和7日龄仔猪呼吸困难、寒颤、下痢、体温升高和实质性器官出血为主要特征的疾病。3头发病仔猪的病变组织用RT-PCR检测。均为猪繁殖与呼吸综合征病毒(PRRSV)阳性；由3头发病猪病料中所分离的细菌。可于普通琼脂、伊红美蓝和麦康凯琼脂培养基上生长，革兰氏染色阴性，形态与组织触片镜检及生化反应特性与沙门氏菌一致，可致死小鼠。仅对头孢唑啉呈中度敏感。结合该病的流行病学调查、临床症状、病理剖检，确诊为猪繁殖与呼吸综合征病毒(PRRSV)和致病性沙门氏菌混合感染。     

Effects of berberine on the growth performance,antioxidative capacity and immune response to lipopolysaccharide challenge in broilers

This study evaluated the effects of berberine on growth performance, immunity, haematological parameters, antioxidant capacity, and the expression of immune response‐related genes in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)‐challenged broilers. We assigned 120 one‐day‐old male broilers (Ross 308) to two treatment groups; each group included two subgroups, each of which included six replicates of five birds per replicate. The experiment used a 2 × 2 factorial arrangement with berberine treatment (0 or 60 mg/kg dietary) and challenge status [injection of saline (9 g/L w/v) or LPS (1.5 mg/kg body weight)] as the main factors. On days 14, 16, 18 and 20, broilers were intraperitoneally injected with LPS or physiological saline. Blood and liver samples were collected on day 21. Dietary berberine supplementation significantly alleviated the compromised average daily gain and average daily feed intake (p < 0.05) caused by LPS. The LPS challenge led to increased lymphocyte and white blood cell (WBC) counts, malondialdehyde (serum and liver) content, and immunoglobulin G and M, tumour necrosis factor‐α (TNF‐α) and interleukin‐1β (IL‐1β) expression (p < 0.05) and significantly reduced serum total superoxide dismutase (T‐SOD) activity (p < 0.05). Dietary berberine significantly mitigated the LPS‐induced decreases in the mRNA expression of nuclear factor‐kappa B (NF‐κB), TNF‐α, IL‐1β, inducible nitrite synthase and cyclooxygenase‐2 (p < 0.05) in the liver. In conclusion, berberine supplementation has a positive effect on LPS challenge, which may be related to the increase in antioxidant enzyme activity and inhibition of both NF‐κB signalling and the expression of inflammatory mediators.

高分辨率熔解曲线分析法检测牦牛脂蛋白脂酶外显子7的多态性及与生长性状相关性分析

脂蛋白脂酶(lipoprotein lipase,LPL)是一个分子质量为54 kb的糖蛋白,其活性受营养因素、激素水平等调节,因牦牛生存环境的特殊性,试验拟从分子水平研究天峻县牦牛脂蛋白脂酶外显子7(LPL-Exon7)基因的多态性,并与生长发育性状进行关联分析,从而为牦牛营养调控、品种资源保护和遗传育种提供科学理论依据。试验采集青海省海西州天峻县牦牛抗凝血106份,提取血样DNA,并利用PCR技术和高分辨率熔解曲线分析法对候选基因LPL-Exon7进行多态性分析,并于采血的同时对牦牛体重、体斜长、体高、胸围和管围等生长性状指标进行了相关性和遗传效应分析。结果表明,高原牦牛LPL-Exon7基因在高原牦牛和野血牦牛中都表现为多态,存在3种基因型,即AA、AB和BB,由1对等位基因A和B控制,A等位基因均为优势等位基因。经χ²检验,符合哈迪—温伯格(Hardy-Weinberg)定律,处于平衡状态(P>0.05)。该位点在高原牦牛和野血牦牛群体中公、母牦牛的多态信息含量为0.3588和0.2103、0.3219和0.3343,高原牦牛母牛的多态信息含量PIC<0.25,处于低度多态,高原牦牛公牛和野血牦牛公、母牛的多态信息含量均在0.250.05)。因此,初步推断牦牛LPL-Exon7可以作为牦牛标记辅助选择的遗传标记之一。
