A 90-day Feeding Toxicity Study of l-Serine in Male and Female Fischer 344 Rats

A subchronic feeding study of l-serine (l-Ser) was conducted with groups of 10 male and 10 female Fischer 344 rats fed a powder diet containing 0, 0.06, 0.5, 1.5 or 5.0% concentrations of l-Ser for 90 days. There were no toxicologically significant, treatment-related changes with regards to body weight, food intake, water intake or urinalysis data. In several of the hematology, serum biochemistry and organ weight parameters, significant changes were observed between some of the treated groups and the controls. All these changes, however, were subtle and lacked any corresponding pathological findings. In addition, the increased or decreased values remained within the range of the historical control values. In fact, histopathological assessment revealed only sporadic and/or spontaneous lesions. In conclusion, the no-observed-adverse-effect-level (NOAEL) for l-Ser was, therefore, determined to be at least a dietary dose of 5.0% (2765.0 mg/kg body weight/day for males and 2905.1 mg/kg body weight/day for females) under the present experimental conditions.

水分胁迫对花生不同器官非结构性碳水化合物含量的影响

为探讨不同生育时期水分胁迫对花生不同器官非结构性碳水化合物(NSC)“库—源—流”间的变化动态,以‘花育20号’和‘花育27号’花生品种为试材,采用控制条件下的防雨棚池栽方法,研究了花生生长发育过程中不同生育时期水分胁迫下,非结构性碳水化合物(NSC)在花生叶片、茎、根和荚果等器官中的动态变化。结果表明,全生育期干旱胁迫使花生叶片、茎和根中可溶性总糖含量和淀粉均明显升高,但荚果中可溶性糖含量却明显降低。无论何生育时期受到干旱胁迫均使得叶片中可溶性糖含量峰值提前15天左右出现,“源”物质输出提前但输出量降低,叶片提前衰老。生育前期干旱胁迫使滞留在荚果中的NSC含量增加,结荚期后干旱胁迫反而利于荚果中NSC的转化。全生育期水分适宜处理叶片中NSC含量相对较低且变化较小。由此表明,干旱胁迫降低了NSC由源至库的运输和转化,使荚果“库”容量降低。

肉仔鸡肌肉色泽与品质相关性研究

研究42日龄不同性别Arber Acres肉仔鸡胸肌和腿肌的色泽与品质间的相关性,结果表明:1)肌肉色泽与品质间相关性存在性别和部位间的差异。2)亮度(L*)和黄度(b*)与滴水损失率、水浴损失率和粗脂肪含量间为正相关,与其他指标间为负相关;红度(a*)与这些指标间的相关性相反。3)L*与滴水损失率、pH、嫩度和粗脂肪含量间为显著或极显著水平(P<0.05或P<0.01)。4)a*与除胸肌滴水损失率和水浴损失率外的其他各指标间相关性均为显著或极显著(P<0.05或P<0.01)。5)b*与系水率和嫩度间的相关性较高,与其他各指标间较低。试验结果表明,可以选择适宜的色泽指标对不同肌肉品质指标进行评价,其中,亮度可以用于评价滴水损失率、pH、嫩度和粗脂肪含量,红度可以用于评价系水率、pH、嫩度、肌纤维直径和粗蛋白含量。     

精浆中催乳素浓度与精子活动力的关系及临床意义

目的 :探讨精浆中催乳素 (PRL)浓度与精子活动力和活动率的关系。方法 :选择不育症门诊中 6 0例男子进行精液分析 ,按精子活动力和活动率分成 A组 (活动力 ～ 级 ,活动率 >5 0 % )和 B组 (活动力 ～ 级、活动率≤5 0 % )。应用磁分离酶联方法测定其精浆中 PRL 浓度。结果 :A组精浆中 PRL 浓度为 (14.85± 4.0 5 ) μg/ L,B组为 (19.5 5± 4.85 ) μg/ L,A组与 B组之间 PRL 浓度差异有显著性 (P<0 .0 0 1)。精子活动力和活动率与精浆中 PRL 浓度呈负相关。结论 :血清和精浆中 PRL以不同方式进行调节 ,精浆中 PRL 来源于精囊 ,其浓度的高低影响着精子活动力和活动率。临床上不育症患者 ,采用分步射精法 ,摒弃后半部分精液 ,可能提高精子功能状态和受孕率

Evaluating habitat suitability indices derived from CPUE and fishing effort data for Ommatrephes bratramii in the northwestern Pacific Ocean

Neon flying squid (Ommastrephes bartramii) plays an important role in the pelagic ecosystem and is an international fishery resource with high commercial value in the North Pacific Ocean. The west stock of winter–spring cohort of this species is an important target for the squid-jigging vessels of Japan, Korea and China (including Taiwan). The squid has a life span of less than 12 months, and its population dynamics is heavily influenced by its environment. Thus, a good understanding of its interactions with the habitats, often quantified with a habitat suitability index (HSI) model, is critical in developing a sustainable fishery. In this study, using the Chinese commercial squid-jigger fishery data and corresponding environmental variables we conducted HSI modeling to evaluate the habitat of the west stock of winter–spring cohort of neon flying squid in the northwestern Pacific Ocean. We compared catch per unit effort (CPUE) and fishing effort data in HSI modeling. This study suggests that the CPUE-based HSI model tends to overestimate the ranges of optimal habitats and under-estimate monthly variations in the spatial distribution of optimal habitats. We conclude that a fishing effort-based HSI model performs better in defining optimal habitats for neon flying squid. According to the fishing-effort-based HSI model, the optimal ranges of the following key habitat variables are defined: from 16.6 to 19.6 °C for SST, from 5.8 to 12 °C for temperature at depths of 35 m, from 3.4 to 4.8 °C for temperature at depth of 317 m, from 33.10 to 33.55 psu for SSS and from ?20 cm to ?4 cm for SLH.
