Decreased transport of orally administered protein into the blood circulation of developing juveniles of Japanese eel Anguilla japonica

ABSTRACT: To clarify the quantitative changes in the transport of orally intubated protein into the blood circulation as macromolecules in development, immunoglobulin Y (IgY) extracted from chicken eggs was administered orally to juvenile Japanese eel, Anguilla japonica . For the first experiment, which was performed before the commencement of artificial feeding, the oral delivery of 2.0 μg/0.1 g bodyweight of IgY resulted in a rapid increase in plasma IgY to a maximum of 2.30 μg/mL. However, the transport of IgY into the blood decreased significantly in the experiments that followed, which were performed after 12, 25 and 42 days. During this period, bodyweight increased approximately by a factor of eight, and rapid growth of the stomach was observed histologically. Possible contributions for the development of the alimentary canal to the diminishment of intestinal protein assimilation are discussed.     

Diurnal and individual variations in bile acids in the plasma of normal dairy cows

Blood samples were collected every 2 h during a 24 h period from 6 cows of one herd and 10 cows of another herd. In a third herd 9 cows were sampled every 2 h from 6 a.m. to 8 p.m. Concentrations of total bile acids, acetoacetate, glucose and free fatty acids were determined in blood plasma. A marked difference in individual bile acid concentrations and patterns of diurnal variation was found. For most cows the highest bile acid values were observed between 2 and 6 a.m. (overall mean (+/- SD) at 6 a.m.: 104 +/- 84 mumol/l, range: 20-307 mumol/l). Fourteen cows with a bile acid value greater than 90 mumol/l at 6 a.m. ("high BA") were characterized as a group by showing a pronounced decrease in the mean bile acid concentration after morning feeding. In the group of 11 cows with a 6 a.m. bile acid value less than 90 mumol/l ("low BA") the time of day did not contribute significantly to the bile acid variation. For the "high BA" group a nearly synchronous variation between the mean values of the 3 feeding dependent parameters (acetoacetate, glucose and free fatty acids) and the mean values of bile acids was found. The within animal coefficients of correlation between bile acids and the feeding dependent parameters were significantly higher in the "high BA" group than in the "low BA" group. No direct connection was found between bile acid levels and the quantity of concentrates fed or the individual milk yield.     

自由基清除剂对香蕉水分胁迫的保护作用

本文用苯皿酸钠、ａ－生育酚和Ｖ 作为外源自由基清除剂,研究其对香蕉的抗旱保护作用结果表明,外源自由基清除剂预处理降低了干旱条件下香蕉叶片细胞的膜生和膜脂过氧化程度,延缓叶绿素、可溶性蛋白南含量的降低,表现出外源自由基保护剂对减轻干旱引起的自由基伤害,提高香蕉抗旱能力具保护作用。不同清除剂的保护效果存在差异,以ａ－生育酚效果最好。

Clinical findings and outcomes of ulcerative keratomycosis in 30 horses in the mid‐Atlantic United States (2006–2007)

The purpose of this study was to determine the clinical course and outcome associated with keratomycosis in horses in the mid‐Atlantic USA. Records of horses diagnosed with keratomycosis at New Bolton Center from November 2006 to November 2007 with positive fungal culture were retrospectively studied. Neither horses with ulcerative keratitis and a negative fungal culture nor those with stromal abscesses were included. Subject details, history, clinical findings, therapy and outcome were recorded. Thirty horses fitted both inclusion criteria (diagnosis of keratomycosis and positive corneal fungal culture). Fourteen of 30 cases occurred during summer. Aspergillus was the most commonly cultured fungal genus (17/30, or 57%) followed by Alternaria (4/30). Seventeen horses had positive bacterial and fungal cultures. Fifteen of 30 horses were treated surgically by a keratectomy and amnion (8) or conjunctival (7) graft. Itraconazole was the most common topical anti‐fungal therapy and was utilised in 25/30 horses. Globe survival was 97% (29/30). All surviving globes had a positive menace response and were visual at the last examination. It was concluded that in the mid‐Atlantic USA, fungal keratitis is common, has the highest incidence in summer, and is usually associated with a positive outcome. Aspergillus may be a relatively more common corneal pathogen in this region than elsewhere in the USA. Surgical cases were more likely to have fungal hyphae identified on cytology and tended to be hospitalised longer than medical cases. There was no apparent association between surgical disease and all other patient, organism and treatment variables.

母猪饲粮添加甜菜碱对巴马香猪哺乳仔猪血液指标的影响

本试验旨在研究母猪饲粮添加甜菜碱对巴马香猪哺乳仔猪血液指标的影响。选取3~7胎次妊娠巴马香猪40头,随机分为2组,每组20头,单栏饲养。对照组饲喂基础饲粮,试验组在基础饲粮中添加3.5 kg/t甜菜碱。试验期为母猪配种后第3天至分娩后第21天。试验结束时,从每组随机选取10窝仔猪,每窝选取1头仔猪采血,测定血浆激素含量、抗氧化指标和游离氨基酸含量。结果表明:与对照组相比,甜菜碱组哺乳仔猪血浆胆囊收缩素(CCK)、酪酪肽(PYY)、瘦素(LEP)、丙二醛(MDA)、过氧化氢(H2 O2)和丙氨酸(Ala)含量显著降低(P<0.05),血浆鹅肌肽(Ans)、1-甲基组氨酸(1⁃MeHis)和3-甲基组氨酸(3⁃MeHis)含量显著升高(P<0.05),血浆苏氨酸(Thr)(P=0.069)、谷氨酸(Glu)(P=0.055)和肌肽(Car)(P=0.055)含量呈下降趋势,血浆亮氨酸(Leu)含量呈升高趋势(P=0.069)。综上所述,母猪饲粮添加甜菜碱可降低哺乳仔猪血浆摄食相关因子水平,减弱机体的氧化水平,改变血浆游离氨基酸含量,有利于仔猪的生长发育与机体健康。     

唇形科植物提取物对单胃动物的抗氧化作用及其机制

动物在患病、应激或特殊生理条件下,机体内会大量产生自由基,自由基与机体内的脂质、ＤＮＡ等产生反应,可对动物造成氧化损伤。唇形科植物提取物中的抗氧化物主要活性成分是酚类化合物,它和抗坏血酸及类胡萝卜素能够阻止自由基引发的氧化伤害。本文阐述了唇形科植物提取物对猪、鸡体外和体内抗氧化作用的实例与抗氧化功能,分析了其抗氧化作用机制。
