水稻赖氨酸含量测定方法改进及其最优动态分类研究

赖氨酸是水稻营养成分中第一限制性氨基酸.为优化赖氨酸的测定方法,设置了本试验,通过超声振荡器取代普通振荡器,进行300W超声功率下酰化用时及染料结合反应用时的研究.结果 表明,最佳酰化用时为15min,染料结合用时为90 min.与国标法相比,优化后的方法酰化用时变长、染料结合用时变短,测定总用时明显缩短,但测定结果和...     

Lysine requirements of Korean native ducklings for three weeks after hatch

Dietary lysine content in poultry diets is critical to improve feed utilization efficiency, body protein deposition rate, and carcass traits of growing and finishing poultry. The objective of the current study was to estimate the optimum digestible lysine requirements for maximum growth performance, efficient utilization of nitrogen, and carcass traits of male Korean native ducklings for 3 wk after hatch. A total of 720 one-day-old male Korean native ducklings were used in a completely randomized design having 8 dietary treatments to provide a range of digestible lysine content from 0.44 to 1.07%. Ducklings were randomly allotted to 24 floor pens (6 replicates per treatment and 15 ducklings per pen) and were offered the respective diets on an ad libitum basis for the period of study. Body weight and feed intake were measured weekly to calculate feed conversion ratio. At the termination of the experiment, 2 ducklings per pen were euthanized via cervical dislocation to weigh empty body and drumsticks. The digestible lysine requirement was determined by taking a mean value after fitting the data to both linear-plateau and quadratic-plateau models. Digestible lysine requirements for Korean native ducklings for 3 wk after hatch were estimated to be 0.71, 0.74, 0.65 and 1.01% for maximum body weight, daily gain, and daily feed intake, and for minimum feed conversion ratio, respectively.     

Correlation of gene modification between histone H3 lysine 4 trimethylation and DNA methylation in IgA nephropathy patients

AIM: To investigate the correlation of gene modification between histone H3 lysine 4 (H3K4) trimethylation and DNA methylation in IgA nephropathy patients. METHODS: H3K4 trimethylation variations were analyzed in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) from 40 IgAN patients and 40 healthy controls by the method of chromatin immunoprecipitation linked to microarrays (ChIP-chip). ChIP real-time PCR was used to validate the microarray results. Quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR) was employed to analyze mRNA expression. DNA methylation in 4 selected positive genes was analyzed by the method of methylated DNA immunoprecipitation-quantitative PCR (MeDIP-qPCR). RESULTS: IgAN patients displayed higher H3K4 trimethylation level and lower DNA methylation level than those of the healthy controls. There were significant differences in DNA methylation and H3K4 trimethylation of 4 selected genes between IgAN patients and the healthy controls (P<0.05). CONCLUSION: Our studies indicate that significant alterations of H3K4 trimethylation and DNA methylation exist in IgAN patients. There is a correlation of gene modification between DNA mathylation and histone H3 lysine 4 trimethylation in IgAN patients.     

低蛋白饲料添加蛋氨酸和赖氨酸对大口黑鲈生长性能和抗氧化能力的影响

为研发优质的低蛋白饲料,以大口黑鲈（Micropterus salmoides）幼鱼为研究对象,设置46%（对照）、41%（LP1）和36%（LP2）3个饲料蛋白质梯度,在41%和36%蛋白饲料的基础上补充相应的晶体赖氨酸与蛋氨酸,使赖氨酸与蛋氨酸含量与对照组保持一致,分别记作LP1+AA组和LP2+AA组。进行周期为8周的饲养试验,试验结束后对大口黑鲈的生长性能和抗氧化能力进行测定。结果显示：LP1+AA组大口黑鲈的增重率、特定生长率、饲料系数和蛋白质保留率与对照组相比无显著性差异,其他各组与对照组相比发生显著性变化。随着蛋白水平降低,肌肉和全鱼中粗蛋白含量均显著降低,但LP1+AA组与对照组之间无显著性差异;粗脂肪和粗灰分含量均无显著性变化。低蛋白日粮组试验鱼的肝体比显著下降,但LP1+AA组与对照组无显著性差异。相比于对照组,LP2组和LP2+AA组试验鱼的肝脏活性氧水平和总抗氧化能力均发生显著性变化;LP1组试验鱼肝脏的总抗氧化能力显著性降低,但补充赖氨酸和蛋氨酸有明显的提高。降低大口黑鲈饲料中的蛋白水平（5%或10%）对肝脏中转氨酶的活性未产生显著影响;LP2组试验鱼血清中谷丙转氨酶活性发生显著变化,但在LP2试验组的基础上添加赖氨酸和蛋氨酸能起到改善作用,并且与对照组相比无显著性差异。结果表明,饲料粗蛋白含量从46%降低至41%并补充适量赖氨酸、蛋氨酸,对大口黑鲈幼鱼生长性能没有显著影响;但饲料粗蛋白含量降低至36%并补充赖氨酸和蛋氨酸,不能有效缓解饲料粗蛋白水平过低对生长性能造成的负面影响。
