鬼臼多糖对免疫功能低下小鼠自由基产生酶活性的影响

采用环磷酰胺腹腔注射(50mg/kg)小鼠建立免疫抑制模型,观察鬼臼多糖(PEP)不同剂量(50,100,200mg/kg和400mg/kg)配合环磷酰胺应用后,对小鼠脾脏中黄嘌呤氧化酶(XOD)、髓过氧化物酶(MPO)及一氧化氮合成酶(NOS)水平的影响。结果表明,PEP能显著降低免疫抑制小鼠脾脏XOD、MPO的活性;对脾脏总NOS活性无显著影响,但400mg/kg多糖可降低小鼠脾脏诱导型NOS活性,提示PEP可通过降低免疫抑制小鼠体内自由基产生酶水平而起到抗氧化作用。

基于线粒体基因cyt b和COI的莺科部分鸟类系统发育

雀形目(Passeriformes)莺科(Sylviidae)鸟类广泛分布于旧大陆,该科许多种类的系统发育关系一直存在争议.本研究采用分子系统学方法,对莺科11属37种鸟类的cyt b全基因序列和COI部分基因序列进行系统发育分析,构建TML和Bayesian系统发育树.结果显示,柳莺属(Phylloscopus)并非单系发生,(鹟)莺属(Seicercus)可能是其同类或其属下的一个类群;在柳莺属内,乌嘴柳莺(P.magnirostris)与极北柳莺(P. borealis)亲缘关系较近;黄腰柳莺(P.proregulus)、云南柳莺(P.yunnanensis)、橙斑翅柳莺(P. pulcher)及灰喉柳莺(P. maculipennis)亲缘关系较近;黄腹柳莺(P.occisinensis)、巨嘴柳莺(P.schwarzi)、棕眉柳莺(P. armandii)、叽喳柳莺(P. collybita)及褐柳莺(P.fuscatus)亲缘关系较近;树莺属(Cettia)并非单系发生,与拟鹅莺属(Abroscopus)和地莺属(Tesia)聚在一起;大苇莺属(Acrocephalus)为单性系;此外,林莺属(Sylvia)与绣眼鸟属(Zosterops)的亲缘关系、以及鹪莺属(Prinia)、缝叶莺属(Orthotomus)及扇尾莺属(Cisticola)三者间的亲缘关系也被支持.     

葡萄糖氧化酶对断奶仔猪生长性能、血清生化指标和抗氧化功能及养分消化率的影响

本试验旨在研究饲粮添加不同水平葡萄糖氧化酶(GOD)对断奶仔猪生长性能、血清生化指标和抗氧化功能及养分消化率的影响。试验选取28日龄断奶仔猪150头[平均体重(8.41±0.06)kg],随机分为5个组,每组3个重复,每个重复10头,公母各占1/2。对照组饲喂基础饲粮,试验Ⅰ组~Ⅳ组分别饲喂在基础饲粮中添加120、180、240和300 U/kg葡萄糖氧化酶的试验饲粮。试验期30 d。结果表明:1)与对照组相比,添加葡萄糖氧化酶对仔猪末重、平均日增重(ADG)、平均日采食量(ADFI)及料重比(F/G)无显著影响(P0.05),试验Ⅱ组腹泻率显著降低(P0.05)。2)试验Ⅳ组仔猪血清白蛋白(ALB)含量显著高于对照组(P0.05),试验Ⅲ组和Ⅳ组血清尿素氮(UN)含量显著高于对照组(P0.05)。3)试验Ⅱ组血清超氧化物歧化酶(SOD)活性显著高于试验Ⅲ组和Ⅳ组(P0.05),试验Ⅱ组和Ⅲ组血清丙二醛(MDA)含量显著性低于对照组和试验Ⅳ组(P0.05)。4)试验Ⅱ组仔猪干物质消化率显著高于对照组和试验Ⅰ组(P0.05),试验Ⅰ组、Ⅱ组和Ⅲ组仔猪粗蛋白质消化率显著高于对照组(P0.05),试验Ⅱ组和Ⅲ组仔猪总能消化率显著高于对照组(P0.05)。综上,断奶仔猪饲粮中添加葡萄糖氧化酶可改善仔猪血清抗氧化功能,降低腹泻率,促进机体对蛋白质、糖和脂质代谢与消化吸收,从而提高生长性能,建议添加量为180 U/kg。     

基于线粒体COⅠ基因的中国近海棱鳀属鱼类DNA条形码

为明确中国大陆近海棱鳀属鱼类的分类地位,采用国际通用的COⅠ基因5'端652bp序列作为DNA条形码,对中国近海棱鳀属全部6种鱼类62尾标本进行鉴定分析。结果发现,所分析样品的序列碱基组成为T:29.0%,C:26.3%,A:25.3%,G:19.4%,A+T含量(54.3%)高于G+C含量(45.7%),转换/颠换率为3.76。6种棱鳀属鱼类组成5个自展支持率为100%的分支,除黄吻棱鳀和中颌棱鳀各为单系但聚合为一支外,其余4种均独立成支;分支内与分支间平均遗传距离分别为0.2%(0.0%~0.4%)和17.7%(15.7%~19.0%)。赤鼻棱鳀、汉氏棱鳀、杜氏棱鳀和长颌棱鳀均符合Hebert提出的种间遗传距离(15.7%~18.6%)大于或等于10倍种内遗传距离(0.0%~0.3%)的标准,确定了它们的物种有效性。黄吻棱鳀和中颌棱鳀的种内遗传距离皆为0.1%,与其他4种棱鳀的种内遗传距离处于同一水平;但二者种间遗传距离仅为0.6%,明显低于其他物种间的种间遗传距离,属于一般物种的种内遗传距离范围,表明二者亲缘关系很近;由于外部形态存在一定的差异,且在分子系统树上各为单系,二者可作为同一物种的2个不同亚种处理,但也不排除是2个近期分化形成物种的可能,在资源管理上应作为2个不同的进化显著单位分别加以管理。     

Ascorbic acid status as affected by dietary treatment in the Siberian sturgeon (Acipenser baeri Brandt): tissue concentration,mobilisation and L-gulonolactone oxidase activity

A study was conducted to evaluate tissue storage and mobilisation of L-ascorbic acid (AA) in the Siberian sturgeon (Acipenser baeri) fed three different experimental diets. The three treatments consisted of a diet devoid of vitamin C (diet A0) and two diets supplemented with equivalent of 300 mg AA kg^–1 in the form of either silicone-coated ascorbic acid (diet SC) or of ascorbyl-2-polyphosphate (diet AP). During the first phase (4 months) of the trial, six batches of 130 Siberian sturgeon (initial body weight: 25.5±0.5 g) each were fed one of the three diets in duplicate. During the second phase (3 months), fish from groups SC and AP were switched to diet A0 and those fed diet A0 during the first phase were switched to diet SC. Irrespective of the dietary treatment, growth rates were not significantly different from each other. At the end of phase I, in all tissues studied, total ascorbic acid (TAA) concentrations were higher in Siberian sturgeon fed diet AP than in the other two groups. During phase II, tissue ascorbate depletion was also higher in the AP group than in the other two groups. Transfer of the AA-free diet fed group onto a diet supplemented with 300 mg AA kg^–1 (diet SC) led to a slight increase in the TAA concentrations in all tissues. Blood plasma tyrosine concentrations were not significantly different between the three groups. Whole-body collagen levels were affected by dietary AA levels or forms at the end of phase I; the differences were not significant at the end of phase II. Muscle collagen levels were slightly affected. L-Gulonolactone oxidase activity was found in the kidney of Siberian sturgeon, but not in the liver. The ascorbyl-2-polyphosphate appears to be either better utilised by Siberian sturgeon, like in many other teleosts, or more stable than the silicone-coated AA during food processing and storage. Presence of L-gulonolactone oxidase activity in Siberian sturgeon kidney combined with the absence of gross scorbutic signs in AA-free diet fed groups expressing very good growth rates suggested no need of dietary AA byA. baeri.

Effect of sulphide in Pacific white shrimp Penaeus vannamei under varying oxygen and pH levels

Sulphide is one of the known environmental stressors, which potentially binds to cytochrome C oxidase (COX), a key enzyme in the electron transport chain, thereby blocking oxygen transport and ATP production. To ascertain the toxic effects of sulphide on Pacific white shrimp, Penaeus vannamei, two distinct exposure experiments were carried out with varying concentration of sulphide (0–1 mg/L), dissolved oxygen (normoxia and hypoxia) and pH values (8.2, 6 and 5). The activity of enzymes viz COX, superoxide dismutase (SOD), phenoloxidase and lactate accumulation was investigated. Outer membrane integrity and COX monomer separation were also done with the isolated crude mitochondrial preparations. Results indicated a significant reduction (p ≤ .05) in COX enzyme activity in sulphide exposed treatments when compared to control. The reduction was more intense when pH levels were reduced under hypoxia condition. Lactate accumulation as a result of anaerobic metabolism was found to be higher in hypoxic treatments. No significant difference (p ≥ .05) was observed in superoxide dismutase activity between the treatments, whereas phenoloxidase activity significantly decreased at higher concentration sulphide. Separation of mitochondrial proteins resulted in the identification of ~205 kDa of COX monomer, and significant damage was found in outer membrane integrity under hypoxia and pH treatments. From this study, it is evident that at a given concentration, sulphide is toxic to P. vannamei, and in association with hypoxia and low pH, they further intensify sulphide toxicity. Our results indicated that sulphide toxicity should not be considered as a single factor, rather it should be a considered as combination of factors.
