Aerobic training, but not creatine supplementation, alters the gluteus medius muscle

The aim of the present study was to investigate the effect of oral supplementation of creatine on the muscular responses to aerobic training. Twelve purebred Arabian horses were submitted to aerobic training for 90 d, with and without creatine supplementation, and evaluated with respect to BW and BCS and to the area and frequency of the different types of muscle fibers in the gluteus medius. Supplementation consisted of the daily administration of 75 g of creatine monohydrate mixed into the ration for the 90 d of training. Physical conditioning was conducted on a high-performance treadmill, and training intensity was stipulated by calculating the velocity at which blood lactate reaches 4 mmol/L, determined monthly for each animal. The individual intensity of physical force at 80% of aerobic threshold was established. Morphometry of gluteus medius muscle fibers was performed on frozen sections processed for histochemical analysis of myosin adenosine triphosphatase and immunohistochemistry of slow-contracting myosin. The results demonstrated that the animals maintained a moderate BCS without alteration of BW during the course of training, providing evidence of equilibrium between food intake and caloric expenditure during the study period. The present study demonstrated that aerobic training for 90 d caused hypertrophy of fiber types I (P = 0.04), IIA (P = 0.04), and IIX (P = 0.01), as well as an increase in the relative area occupied by type I fibers (P = 0.02) at the expense of type IIX fibers (P = 0.03), resulting in modifications of the contractile and metabolic characteristics of the gluteus medius muscle. It was not possible to show any beneficial effect from creatine on the skeletal muscle characteristics examined.     

The Effect of Season on Muscle Growth,Fat Deposition,Travel Patterns,and Hoof Growth of Domestic Young Horses

Our objective was to determine the influence of season (winter, spring, summer, and fall) on travel patterns, hoof growth, and longissimus dorsi muscle (LM) height and fat thickness between 13th and 14th ribs in 16 horses aged <4 years (eight males and eight females) of Morgan, Quarter Horse, and Moriesian breeds. Real-time ultrasound images of LM height and fat thickness as well as measures of hoof growth were obtained at the end of each season. Global positioning system tracking was conducted for four randomly selected days and one storm day in each season. Data were analyzed using a linear mixed model procedure in SAS. Season influenced fat deposition (P < .01) with the greatest increase in fall (P < .05) but had minimal effect on muscle growth. Hoof growth was greatest in summer and least in winter (P < .01). The average distance traveled was greater in spring and summer than in fall and winter (P < .01). The horses moved for less time and traveled less distance on storm days (P < .05) compared with nonstorm days. Young horses also traveled less on storm days, which indicates that it may be especially important to provide shelter for them. It was concluded that season influenced fat deposition, distance traveled, and hoof growth of domestic young horses. A better understanding of these factors could help equine professionals manage young horses more efficiently to benefit the horses’ physical well-being.     

Electromyographic activity of the longissimus dorsi muscles in horses when walking on a treadmill

The pattern of electromyographic activity of the equine long back muscle at the walk has not yet been reported. The aim of this study was to use surface electromyography to measure activity of the longissimus dorsi muscles of horses walking on a treadmill. Fifteen horses without back pain were used and electromyographs were recorded bilaterally from the longissimus dorsi muscles at the level of T12, T16 and L3. Mean electromyograph activity and mean motion were calculated for each horse. At the walk, only one maximum activity for each longissimus dorsi muscle was detected during each motion cycle and this was highest at T12 and lowest at L3. Activity of the longissimus dorsi muscles at the walk is mainly responsible for stabilisation of the vertebral column against dynamic forces. At T12 the high maximum activity could contribute to the development of muscle pain at this site.

Use of biochemical and biophysical indicators in muscles (m. longissimus dorsi) obtained by harpoon biopsy in predicting the quality of pork

Forty-two pigs (German Landrace and commercial hybrids) were subjected to harpoon biopsy. A possibility of using the biochemical (adenosine triphosphate, creatine phosphate, glucose-6-phosphate, glucose, lactate, glycogen) and biophysical (pH value, R-value, water-binding capacity) parameters of muscle (m. longissimus dorsi) for forecasting the quality of pork was demonstrated. The post-mortem processes were simulated in muscle bioptate (1 hour of incubation at 39 degrees C). The highest correlations with meat quality in slaughtered animals (pH) were recorded in adenosine triphosphate, creatine phosphate, R-value, pH value, lactate and glycogen. No significant differences were found between the left and right side of the muscle (m. longissimus dorsi) in the studied parameters.

Effect of creatine supplementation on muscle metabolic response to a maximal treadmill exercise test in Standardbred horses

The aim of the present study was to investigate the effect of creatine (Cr) supplementation on muscle metabolic response in connection with a maximal treadmill exercise test, known to cause a marked anaerobic metabolic response and adenine nucleotide degradation. First, 6 Standardbred trotters performed a standardised maximal exercise test until fatigue (baseline test). The test used was an inclined incremental treadmill test in which the speed was increased by 1 m/s, starting at 7 m/s, every 60 s until the horse could no longer keep pace with the treadmill. After this baseline test, the horses were separated into 2 equal groups. One half received a dose of 25 g creatine monohydrate twice daily, and the other group were given the same dose of lactose (placebo). The supplementation period was 6.5 days, after which the maximal treadmill exercise test was performed again. A washout period of 14 days was allowed before treatments were switched between groups and a new supplementation period started. After this second supplementation period a new maximal exercise test was performed. After supplementation with creatine or placebo, horses were stopped after performing the same number of speed steps and duration of exercise as they had in the baseline test. Blood samples for analysis of plasma lactate, creatine (Cr), creatinine, hypoxanthine, xanthine and uric acid concentrations were collected at rest, during each speed step and during recovery. The total blood volume (TBV) was also determined. Muscle biopsies for analysis of muscle metabolites (adenosine triphosphate [ATP], adenosine diphosphate [ADP], adenosine monophosphate [AMP], inosine monophosphate [IMP], creatine phosphate [CP], lactate [La] and glycogen) were taken at rest, immediately post exercise and after 15 min recovery. The results showed no significant increase in plasma Cr or muscle total creatine concentration (TCr) after supplementation with Cr. At the end of exercise ATP and CP concentrations had decreased and IMP and lactate concentrations increased in muscle in all groups. Plasma lactate concentration increased during exercise and recovery and plasma uric acid concentration increased during recovery in all groups. No influence could be found in TBV after supplementation with creatine. These results show that creatine supplementation in the dosage used in this study had no influence on muscle metabolic response or TBV.     

纳米氧化锌对育肥牛生产性能、血清指标和背最长肌肌内脂肪沉积相关基因表达的影响

本试验旨在研究纳米氧化锌对育肥牛生产性能、血清指标及背最长肌肌内脂肪(IMF)沉积相关酶活性和基因表达的影响。选用16头西杂阉公牛(西门塔尔牛×本地黄牛),随机分2组,每组8个重复,每个重复1头牛。对照组饲喂基础饲粮(不添加锌),纳米氧化锌组在基础饲粮的基础上添加80 mg/kg锌(纳米氧化锌形式)。试验期为60 d。结果表明：1)与对照组相比,添加纳米氧化锌显著提高了育肥牛的平均日增重(P<0.05),显著降低了料重比(P<0.05)。2)与对照组相比,添加纳米氧化锌极显著提高了血清游离脂肪酸、甘油三酯、总胆固醇、高密度脂蛋白、低密度脂蛋白、葡萄糖和胰岛样生长因子-Ⅰ含量(P<0.01),显著提高了胰岛素含量(P<0.05),极显著降低了葡萄糖/胰岛素比值(P<0.01)。3)与对照组相比,添加纳米氧化锌显著提高了背最长肌IMF含量和乙酰辅酶A羧化酶(ACC)活性(P<0.05),极显著降低了激素敏感脂肪酶(HSL)活性(P<0.01),显著降低肉碱转移酶-1(CPT-1)和脂蛋白脂肪酶(LPL)活性(P<0.05)。4)与对照组相比,...     

Impact of vitamin and mineral supplement withdrawal and wheat middling inclusion on finishing pig growth performance,fecal mineral concentration,carcass characteristics,and the nutrient content and oxidative stability of pork

A study was conducted to determine if supplement withdrawal (omission of dietary vitamin and trace mineral premixes and a two-thirds reduction in dietary inorganic phosphorus) for 28 d preslaughter and the feeding of wheat middlings (dietary concentrations of 5, 15, and 30% from weaning to 16, 16 to 28, and 28 kg to slaughter, respectively) affect growth performance, carcass characteristics, and fecal mineral concentrations ofthe pig, as well as the nutrient content and oxidative stability of the longissimus dorsi muscle. Crossbred pigs (n = 64) were blocked by weight and assigned to one of four dietary treatments in a 2 x 2 factorial design (with or without supplement withdrawal, and with or without wheat middlings). Supplement withdrawal and wheat middling inclusion did not influence average daily gain (ADG), average daily feed intake, gain/feed, or carcass traits, except for a decrease (P < 0.01) in the ADG of pigs from 28 to 65 kg when fed wheat middlings. Supplement withdrawal decreased (P < 0.01) fecal Ca, P, Cu, Fe, Mn, and Zn concentrations. In diets containing full vitamin and mineral supplementation, wheat middling inclusion decreased (P < 0.01) fecal Ca, Cu, Fe, and Zn concentrations and increased (P < 0.01) fecal Mn. Supplement withdrawal decreased (P < 0.05) concentrations of riboflavin, niacin, and P in the longissimus dorsi muscle, but did not affect longissimus dorsi thiamin, vitamin E, Fe, Cu, Zn, and Ca concentrations. Inclusion of wheat middlings increased (P < 0.04) longissimus dorsi thiamin, niacin, riboflavin, and vitamin E concentrations and decreased (P < 0.04) Cu concentrations. However, wheat middling inclusion did not affect (P > 0.05) longissimus dorsi Ca, P, Fe, and Zn concentrations. Dietary treatment did not affect either Cu/Zn superoxide dismutase or glutathione peroxidase activity in the longissimus dorsi. The results from this study indicate that supplement withdrawal and dietary wheat middling inclusion alter pork nutrient content and fecal mineral concentration, but not the oxidative stability of pork.     

不同体重阶段川藏黑猪和杜长大猪肌肉中氨基酸含量研究

为了研究不同猪种背最长肌中氨基酸沉积规律,试验采用高效液相色谱检测了不同体重梯度（90、110和130 kg）的川藏黑猪和杜长大（DLY）猪背最长肌中氨基酸含量。结果表明,谷氨酸在两猪种肌肉中含量最高,含硫氨基酸总量在90和130 kg体重梯度时表现为川藏黑猪显著高于DLY猪（P〈0.05）,110 kg体重梯度时极显著高于DLY猪（P〈0.01）,而同一猪种不同体重梯度间各种氨基酸组成差异均不显著（P〉0.05）,鲜味氨基酸占总氨基酸比例（FAA/TAA）在90 kg体重梯度表现为川藏黑猪极显著高于DLY猪（P〈0.01）,130 kg体重梯度时显著高于DLY猪（P〈0.05）。本研究说明川藏黑猪肌肉中与风味相关的氨基酸含量高于DLY猪,我们认为这也是川藏黑猪的肌肉风味比DLY猪更浓郁的重要原因之一。我们的研究初步揭示了不同猪种背最长肌中氨基酸的沉积规律及构成差异,为进一步研究猪肉风味形成机理提供数据。
