Effect of intestinal endotoxemia on hepatic energy metabolism in acute liver failure

AIM:To study the effect of intestinal endotoxemia(IETM) on hepatic energy metabolism in acute liver failure. METHODS:Intoxication by thioacetamide (TAA) was used to establish rat model of acute liver injury.Ketone body(acetoacetate and β-hydroxybutyrate) in arterial blood and ATP content of hepatocellular mitochondria were determined by using enzymatic fluorimetric micromethod.Colectomy was adopted in observing the changes in plasma endotoxin content and serum alanine aminotransferase (ALT) activity. RESULTS:In the TAA group,plasma endotoxin content and serum ALT activity were all significantly higher than those in the control group(P＜0.01),arterial ketone body ratio of acetoacetate to β-hydroxybutyrate (AKBR) decreased below 0.4,total ketone body in arterial blood was significantly lower than that in the control group(P＜0.01).In the TAA+colectomy group,there was no endotoxemia to be found,ATP content of hepatocellular mitochondria was significantly higher than that in the TAA group(P＜0.01), though serum ALT activity was higher than that in the control group(P＜0.05),but significantly lower than that in the TAA group(P＜0.01). CONCLUSION:IETM played a key role in the occurrence of acute liver failure,hepatic dysfunction might be caused by IETM through damaging hepatic energy metabolism.     

Effect of mild hypothermia on energy metabolism and hydroxyl radical production after cerebral ischemia/reperfusion in gerbils

AIM: To study the effect of mild hypothermia on energy metabolism and hydroxyl radical production as well as delayed neuronal death (DND) in hippocampus during cerebral ischemia/reperfusion in gerbils.METHODS: Forebrain ischemia was induced by occluding bilateral common carotid arteries with aneurysm clamps for 10 min in gerbils. The DND in hippocampal CA1 sector was assessed by histological examination, and hydroxyl radical, ATP (adenosine triphosphate), ADP (adenosine diphosphate),AMP (adenosine monophosphate) levels were determined by high performance liquid chromatography with electrochemical or ultraviolet detection. RESULTS: The number of survival neuronal in hippocampal CA1 sector in mild hypothermia + I/R group was more than that in I/R group after ischemia/reperfusion 96 h. The content of 2,3-DHBA (2,3- dihydroxybenzoic acid) in hippocampus in I/R group was much higher than those in sham operation and mild hypothermia + I/R group after reperfusion 6 h (P＜0.01), but there were no significant differences in 2,3-DHBA outputs among 3 groups 48 h and 96 h after reperfusion. There were no obvious differences in ATP, ADP, AMP level in hippocampus among 3 groups 6 h after reperfusion. However, the content of ATP,ADP,AMP in mild hypothermia + I/R group was much higher than those in I/R group 48 and 96 h after reperfusion (P＜0.01).CONCLUSION: Mild hypothermia can reduced DND by improving the cerebral energy metabolism during forebrain ischemia/reperfusion in gerbils.

Spatial variability in soil heat flux at three Inner Mongolia steppe ecosystems

Closing the energy budget at flux measurement sites is problematic, even when the fetch extends over flat, homogeneous surfaces with low vegetation cover. We used the residual energy balance and ordinary least square (OLS) linear regression methods to quantify spatial variability in soil heat flux contributing to energy balance closure (EBC), by deploying a mobile energy system within the footprints of three Eddy-covariance towers located in the steppe of Inner Mongolia, China. The EBC at the study sites had a daily average residual of 8–19 W m⁻² with OLS slopes of 0.83–0.96. The EBC was better achieved at the wet site than at the dry site. The spatial variability in soil heat flux was 48 W m⁻² (13% of R_n) during the day and 15 W m⁻² (34%) at night, with an average of 29 W m⁻² (24%) across the three sites. A 9% OLS slope difference due to this variability was recorded from our eight plot measurements. A large amount of missing energy (110 W m⁻² at peak) could occur with decreasing OLS slope of 23% across the three grassland sites when soil heat flux is not taken into account. In particular, heat storage in the top soil layer not only influenced the magnitude of EBC, but also adjusted soil heat flux to match the ‘truth schedule’. Heat storage in the top soil layer comprised half of the soil heat flux when the heat flux plate was deployed at a depth of 30 mm. If this part of heat storage was neglected, the residual of EBC would increase as large as 60 W m⁻² with OLS slope decreasing 9%. Comparing them with the multiple-location soil heat flux measurements, the single-location measurements from near the Eddy-covariance towers obtained a slightly better EBC with the OLS slope increasing by 4%.     

Low-dietary protein intake induces problems with glucose homeostasis and results in hepatic steatosis in heavy milk-fed calves

We studied effects of protein intake at two protein-free energy intake levels on plasma glucose and insulin concentrations, urinary glucose excretion and on liver and intestinal fat content in milk-fed veal calves. Two experiments were performed at body weights (BW) of 80-160 kg (mean 120 kg; Exp. 1) and 160-240 kg (mean 200 kg; Exp. 2). In each experiment, 36 calves were allocated to one of six protein intake levels, at each of two energy intake levels. Digestible protein intakes ranged between 0.90 and 2.72 g nitrogen (N)/(kg BW(0.75) x d) in Exp. 1 and between 0.54 and 2.22 g N/(kg BW(0.75)x d) in Exp. 2. The two energy intake levels were kept constant on a protein-free basis and were 663 and 851 kJ/(kg BW(0.75) x d) in Exp. 1 and 564 and 752 kJ/(kg BW(0.75)x d) in Exp. 2. Blood samples were taken between 5 and 6h post-feeding at 14-d intervals until calves reached target BW, and liver fat mass was determined at slaughter. Urinary glucose excretion was quantified at 120 and 200 kg BW in Exps. 1 and 2, respectively. Increased protein-free energy intake increased plasma glucose concentrations and urinary glucose losses in 200 kg calves, but not in 120 kg calves. Increasing protein intake decreased plasma glucose, urinary glucose and plasma insulin in both experiments. Liver fat content decreased with increasing protein intake. In conclusion, long-term low-dietary protein intake increased hyperglycemia, hyperinsulinemia, glucosuria and hepatic steatosis in heavy milk-fed calves, likely associated with increased insulin resistance.
