日粮脂肪酸组成对硬脂酰辅酶A去饱和酶的调控

硬脂酰辅酶A去饱和酶是体内饱和脂肪酸向单一不饱和脂肪酸转化的关键酶类,也是瘦素(Ob)基因通过信号传导发挥代谢生理调控作用的重要组分。其活性的高低关系到动物体脂肪酸的组成和瘦肉率的高低,进而影响产肉率和腌肉制品的产量,本文仅就日粮脂肪酸组成对该酶基因表达和酶活的调控进行综述。     

Identification of lactic acid bacteria in the feces of dairy cows fed whole crop maize silage to assess the survival of silage bacteria in the gut

In order to assess the survival of lactic acid bacteria (LAB) in whole crop maize silage in the gut of dairy cows, one representative silage sample and three different feces samples were collected from dairy cows on three dairy farms in Hua Bei, China and three dairy farms in Kyushu, Japan. The composition of the bacterial community was examined by denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis and quantitative polymerase chain reaction. Lactobacillus acetotolerans was detected in all bunker‐made maize silage samples, regardless of the dairy farm or sampling region from which they were sourced. A total of eight LAB species were detected in the maize silage samples, of which three (L. acetotolerans, L. pontis and L. casei) appeared to survive digestion. The populations of L. acetotolerans in silage and feces were 10^6–7 and 10^3–4 copies/g, respectively, indicating that, even for the LAB species showing potential survival in the gut, competition in this niche may be harsh and the population may substantially decrease during the digestion process. It may be difficult for silage LAB to survive in the gut of silage‐fed dairy cows, because marked decrease in population can take place during the digestion process, even for surviving species.     

鹌鹑肌肉肌苷酸含量和鹑肉保鲜时间的研究

用纸层析法测定鹌鹑肌肉提取液中的肌苷酸含量,实验结果表明:1.鹌鹑性别不同的肌苷酸含量(平均值):雌鹑为5.557μM/g(肉);雄鹑为5.274μM/g(肉),差异不显著(p>0.05)。2.两组不同日龄鹌鹑胸肌肌苷酸含量(平均值):35日龄为5.739μM/g,70日龄为4.941μM/g,差异极显著(p<0.01)。3.鹌鹑不同部位肌苷酸含量,胸肌明显高于腿肌,腿肌的肌苷酸含量平均值仅为胸肌的60.51％,差异极显著(p<0.01)。4.不同条件保存鹑肉时,随着时间的延长,肌肉中的肌苷酸均降解,降解速度,低温(0℃)较室温缓慢。5.测定肌肉中肌苷酸的含量可作为衡量鹌鹑肌肉鲜度的一项有用的指标。

以短芒大麦草为研究对象,利用传统培养法从叶围和青贮发酵体系中分离出乳酸菌、大肠杆菌、好氧细菌、酵母菌和霉菌,并计数;结合细菌形态学、生理生化特征及16S rDNA序列分析鉴定分离出的乳酸菌菌株;通过研究乳酸菌的生长曲线、产酸特性及耐酸性,筛选优质乳酸菌。以期探明短芒大麦草叶围及青贮发酵体系中微生物菌群特性及青贮料中乳酸菌多样性,筛选出具有促发酵效果的乳酸菌菌株,为有益微生物饲料研发奠定基础。试验结果表明,短芒大麦草经青贮发酵后各微生物菌群数量发生不同程度变化,乳酸菌数量由0 cfu/g FM增加到4.00×10⁸ cfu/g FM,酵母菌数量由8.50×10⁵ cfu/g FM增加到1.02×10⁸ cfu/g FM,而好氧细菌、大肠杆菌和霉菌数量变化不明显;从短芒大麦草青贮发酵体系分离得到4株乳酸菌,经鉴定Lx36为Lactobacillus pentosus,Lx37为Lactobacillus brevis,Lx53为Pediococcus pentosaceus,Lx54为Lactobacillus parabuchneri;筛选得到1株益于青贮的乳酸菌株Lx36,约在20 h后进入稳定生长期,OD值达到4.21,且发酵12 h的pH仅为4.08,并可以在pH=3.0环境条件下生长。综上所述,青贮发酵是体系中各种微生物相互作用的过程,微生物菌群的数量及变化直接影响青贮饲料发酵品质。短芒大麦草青贮饲料中乳酸菌种类较丰富,筛选得到的戊糖乳杆菌繁殖速度快、产酸能力强同时表现出了较强的耐酸性,具有潜在的生产应用价值,适宜用作促发酵的青贮添加剂菌种。     

Repeated post-exercise administration with a mixture of leucine and glucose alters the plasma amino acid profile in Standardbred trotters

Background

The branched chain amino acid leucine is a potent stimulator of insulin secretion. Used in combination with glucose it can increase the insulin response and the post exercise re-synthesis of glycogen in man. Decreased plasma amino acid concentrations have been reported after intravenous or per oral administration of leucine in man as well as after a single per oral dose in horses. In man, a negative correlation between the insulin response and the concentrations of isoleucine, valine and methionine have been shown but results from horses are lacking. This study aims to determine the effect of repeated per oral administration with a mixture of glucose and leucine on the free amino acid profile and the insulin response in horses after glycogen-depleting exercise.

Methods

In a crossover design, after a glycogen depleting exercise, twelve Standardbred trotters received either repeated oral boluses of glucose, 1 g/kg body weight (BW) at 0, 2 and 4 h with addition of leucine 0.1 g/kg BW at 0 and 4 h (GLU+LEU), or repeated boluses of water at 0, 2 and 4 h (CON). Blood samples for analysis of glucose, insulin and amino acid concentrations were collected prior to exercise and over a 6 h post-exercise period. A mixed model approach was used for the statistical analyses.

Results

Plasma leucine, isoleucine, valine, tyrosine and phenylalanine concentrations increased after exercise. Post-exercise serum glucose and plasma insulin response were significantly higher in the GLU+LEU treatment compared to the CON treatment. Plasma leucine concentrations increased after supplementation. During the post-exercise period isoleucine, valine and methionine concentrations decreased in both treatments but were significantly lower in the GLU+LEU treatment. There was no correlation between the insulin response and the response in plasma leucine, isoleucine, valine and methionine.

Conclusions

Repeated post-exercise administration with a mixture of leucine and glucose caused a marked insulin response and altered the plasma amino acid profile in horses in a similar manner as described in man. However, the decreases seen in plasma amino acids in horses seem to be related more to an effect of leucine and not to the insulin response as seen in man.     

The influence of nitrate and ammonium forms of nitrogen fertilizer on the growth and osmoregulation of digitaria eriantha and Chloris gayana grown under saline conditions

Abstract

Digltaria eriantha and Chloris gayana were grown under controlled conditions for three months and were treated with a nutrient solution containing 150 mMol NaCl and the following nitrogen sources: 25 or 200 mg/l NH₄ ⁺‐N or NO₃ ^?‐N or no nitrogen. The application of nitrogen was found to stimulate growth, i.e. leaf area and dry mass in both grasses, with a greatest growth response to both NH₄ ⁺—N treatments in D. eriantha, and NH₄ ⁺‐N and NO₃ ^?—N treatments in C. gayana. Proline accumulated in both grasses, but this accumulation followed different trends in the two grasses. Soluble sugars (non‐structural) accumulated in the above ground component in D. eriantha, while in C. gayana soluble sugars accumulated predominantly in the roots, possibly as osmotica, or for storage and may thus have been available for regrowth.     

胆酸负荷对妊娠后期绵羊母体和胎儿血浆IGF—2及其代谢物水平的影响

以绵羊及其胎儿为试验对象，研究了胆酸负荷对妊娠后期母体和胎儿血浆胰岛素样生长因子－2(in-sulin-like growth factor-2,IGF-2）及其代谢物水平的影响。将7只确知妊娠时间的绵羊分为试验组5只和对照组2只，试验前装置颈静脉瘘，在妊娠90h和104d2闪给试验组静脉灌注胆酸盐1．1mg/kg，给对照组静脉灌注等量生理盐水，妊娠120d时手术安装胎儿后肢胫前动脉血管瘘。每天采胎儿和母体的血样，分离血浆，测定血浆IGF－2和主要代谢物水平。同时测定胎儿出生时生长发育指标。结果表明：（1）试验组母羊IGF－2水平低于对照组，相反其胎儿IGF－2水平却高于对照组（P＜0．05）；（2）试验组母羊的总蛋白和乳酸水平分别比对照组35．64％；（3）试验组胎儿出生重比对照组小29．00％，胎龄短7．50d。因此认为，胆酸重复灌注可引起妊娠绵羊早产和胎儿出生重降低，而这可能与IGF－2和主要代谢物水平变化有关。
