Effect of live weight and dietary supplement of raw potato starch on the levels of skatole, androstenone, testosterone and oestrone sulphate in entire male pigs

This study evaluated the effect of supplement of raw potato starch (RPS) on the levels of skatole, androstenone, testosterone and oestrone sulphate in plasma from entire male pigs. The study also evaluated relationships between plasma levels of skatole and testicular steroids at three different live weights (LW) of approximately 90, 100 and 115 kg. A total of 111 entire male pigs of a crossbred (Yorkshire dams×Swedish Landrace sires) were used. Animals were raised either in mixed pens, with females and males, or single-sex pens. Each pen contained seven or nine pigs. The most fast-growing three pigs from the pens with nine pigs were slaughtered when they reached 90 kg LW, and the remaining pigs were slaughtered at 115 kg LW. All pigs were fed the same commercial diet until the average pen weight reached 100 kg. Then, 33 out of 80 remaining pigs received RPS, 0.6 kg per pig and day, for 2 weeks prior to slaughter. Blood samples were taken from the pigs at three occasions: first, the day prior to first slaughter occasion, low-weight group; second, the day prior to change in diet, middle-weight group; and third, the day prior to second slaughter occasion, high-weight group. Plasma was analysed for the levels of skatole, androstenone, testosterone and oestrone sulphate. Fat samples were taken at slaughter and analysed for the levels of skatole and androstenone. The levels of skatole and testicular steroids in plasma were significantly higher in entire male pigs from the high-weight group fed no RPS compared to those from low- and middle-weight groups. The levels of the investigated compounds did not differ between low- and middle-weight groups (P>0.1). The diet with RPS induced a decline in skatole levels in plasma and fat (P<0.001), but not plasma levels of testicular steroids and fat levels of androstenone (P>0.05). Skatole levels were positively correlated to testosterone and oestrone sulphate levels in the middle- and high-weight pigs fed no RPS as well as to testosterone in the low-weight group. In the high-weight group fed RPS, skatole levels were not correlated to any of the analysed compounds. Approximately 26% of the entire male pigs (11 out of 43) from the high-weight group fed no RPS produced skatole levels in fat above 0.20 μg/g, whereas the pigs from the low- and high-weight group fed RPS did not produce skatole levels above 0.20 μg/g in fat. Androstenone levels in fat were high in all groups. In total 47% (52 out of 111) pigs expressed androstenone levels above the rejection levels in fat of 1.0 μg/g and 88% (98 out of 111) had androstenone levels above 0.5 μg/g. It was concluded that a lower slaughter weight and the supplement of raw potato starch to the diet could be used to reduce skatole levels in entire male pigs. Androstenone levels in fat, however, could not be reduced by either a lower weight at slaughter or dietary manipulation.

水牛精子在胞质内注射后的早期形态变化

应用胞质内精子注射 (intracytoplasmic sperm injection,ICSI)技术探讨了水牛卵母细胞胞质与注射精子间的相互作用以及 ICSI精子的形态变化。ICSI后 13h,5 9.4 %的精子头部已膨大 ,且有 18.8%的精子进入解聚状态。雌雄原核发育不同步 ,雄原核在 ICSI后 16 h和 19h的形成率分别为 3.2 %和 4 0 .0 % ;雌原核在 ICSI后 13h已达到 71.9% ,16 h时提高到 90 .3%。经离子霉素与 6 - DMAP联合激活 ,ICSI后 19h产生的胚胎核型以 2 PN PB1 为主 ,其雌原核形成 (激活 )率为 91.3% ,雄原核形成率为 4 0 .0 % ,5 1.3%为孤雌胚。用 5 mm ol/ L 的 DTT预处理精子 1h,可提高精子的解聚率 (30 .9%比 12 .7% ,P<0 .0 5 ) ,但对雄原核的形成率无显著影响 (33.3%比 32 .7% ,P>0 .0 5 )。结果表明 ,水牛精子 ICSI后的雄原核形成时间晚于卵子雌原核形成时间 ,且其比率低于卵子 ,DTT处理精子能提高其解聚率 ,但对雄原核形成无影响

毒死蜱对桔小实蝇体内代谢酶的影响

为了解毒死蜱对桔小实蝇体内代谢酶的影响，采用不同浓度的毒死蜱对桔小实蝇敏感种群进行连续处理，测定其体内的羧酸酯酶（CarE）、谷胱甘肽S-转移酶（GSTs）、过氧化氢酶（CAT）、过氧化物酶（POD）的活性。结果表明：随着毒死蜱浓度的增加，桔小实蝇的敏感性出现逐渐下降的趋势，体内的CarE活性得到显著提升（F=43.21，p=0.024），抗性倍数为1.74，GSTs活性也显著上升（F=47.73，p=0.018），抗性倍数为1.98，但对CAT、POD的提升作用较小，表明毒死蜱对桔小实蝇体内的CarE、GSTs活力具有一定的诱导作用。
