Dietary Supplementation with Methionine and Lysine Enhances Antioxidant Function and Muscle Quality of Hefang Crucian Carp (Carassius auratus)

ABSTRACT: Methionine (Met) and lysine (Lys), as primary limiting amino acids, play important roles in regulating muscle quality in aquatic animals. This study investigated the effects of dietary Met and Lys supplementation on the growth performance, antioxidant function, and muscle quality of Hefang crucian carp (HCC) using physiological and transcriptome analysis. Fish were fed three diets for 8 weeks: a basal diet (LA) and two diets supplemented with DL-methionine at 1.7% (MA) and 3.4% (HA), respectively, with L-lysine supplementation fixed at 3.4%. The results indicated that dietary Met and Lys supplementation had no significant effect on the growth performance of HCC (P > 0.05), but significantly reduced serum triglyceride (TG) and cholesterol levels (T-CHO) (P < 0.05). Additionally, serum total protein (TP) content was significantly increased in the MA group (P < 0.05). Analysis of serum antioxidant enzyme activities indicated that appropriate Met and Lys supplementation improved antioxidant capacity and upregulated the expression of antioxidant-related genes (Nrf2, GPX1a, GSTO1, GSTP1) in the muscle. Moreover, the MA group exhibited superior muscle hardness and gumminess, while the HA group had higher springiness and chewiness (P <0.05). Muscle fiber density was significantly increased, whereas diameter and area showed the opposite trend in fish fed 1.7% Met and 3.4% Lys (P < 0.05). Furthermore, appropriate Met and Lys supplementation significantly affected muscle fiber development genes (MyoD, MyoG, and MRF4), with MyoG highest in the HA group and MyoD and MRF4 highest in the MA group (P < 0.05). Comparative transcriptomic analysis of muscle tissue showed DEGs functional enrichment primarily correlated with muscle quality, involving cardiac muscle contraction, actin cytoskeleton regulation, PPAR signaling pathway and ECM-receptor interaction. Taken together, our findings enhance the understanding of the molecular mechanisms underlying the effects of dietary Met and Lys on muscle quality in HCC, providing valuable insights for the development of nutritional strategies in the aquaculture industry.

Project description:Melatonin has been reported to play crucial roles in regulating meat quality, improving reproductive properties and maintaining intestinal health in animal production, but whether it regulates skeletal muscle development in weaned piglet is rarely studied. This study was conducted to investigate the effects of melatonin on growth performance, skeletal muscle development and lipid metabolism in animals by intragastric administration of melatonin solution. Twelve 28-day-old DLY (Duroc × Landrace × Yorkshire) weaned piglets with similar body weight were randomly divided into two groups: control group and melatonin group. The results showed that melatonin supplementation for 23 days had no effect on growth performance, but significantly reduced serum glucose content (P<0.05). Remarkably, melatonin increased longissimus dorsi muscle (LDM) weight, eye muscle area and decreased the liver weight in weaned piglets (P<0.05). In addition, the cross-sectional area of muscle fibers was increased (P<0.05), while triglyceride (TG) levels were decreased in LDM and psoas major muscle (PMM) by melatonin treatment (P<0.05). Transcriptome sequencing showed melatonin induced the expression of genes related to skeletal muscle hypertrophy and fatty acid oxidation. Enrichment analysis indicated that melatonin regulated cholesterol metabolism, protein digestion and absorption and mitophagy signaling pathways in muscle. Gene set enrichment analysis (GSEA) also confirmed the effects of melatonin on skeletal muscle development and mitochondrial structure and function. Moreover, quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) analysis revealed that melatonin supplementation elevated the gene expression of cell differentiation and muscle fiber development, including paired box 7 (PAX7), myogenin (MYOG), myosin heavy chain (MYHC) ⅡA and MYHC ⅡB (P<0.05), which was accompanied by increased insulin like growth factor 1 (IGF1) and insulin like growth factor binding protein 5 (IGFBP5) expression in LDM (P<0.05). Additionally, melatonin regulated lipid metabolism and activated mitochondrial function in muscle by increasing the mRNA abundance of cytochrome c oxidase subunit 6A (COX6A), COX5B and carnitine palmitoyltransferase 2 (CPT2) and decreasing the mRNA expression of peroxisome proliferator activated receptor gamma (PPARG), Acetyl-CoA carboxylase (ACC) and fatty acid binding protein 4 (FABP4) (P<0.05). Together, our results suggest that melatonin could promote skeletal muscle growth and muscle fiber hypertrophy, improve mitochondrial function and decrease fat deposition in muscle.

Project description:Background & aim: Micronutrient deficiencies, particularly those of zinc and selenium, are common in persons living with human immunodeficiency virus (PLWHIV), and have been associated with the development of non-AIDS related comorbidities, impaired immune system function, HIV disease progression and mortality. The implementation of intervention strategies on clinically stable long-term-treated PLWHIV could bring potential benefits on impeding or delaying the onset of non-AIDS associated comorbidities, improving their health status and overall quality of life. The aim of the present study is to analyze the effect of zinc and selenium supplementation on body composition, bone mineral density (BMD), lipids profile, glucose and immune system activation and function on PLWHIV on antiretroviral therapy (ART) without metabolic diseases. Methods: This pilot trial was composed of 60 PLWHIV on ART who were randomly assigned to either zinc, selenium, zinc + selenium supplementation or to a control group. Daily supplementation was prescribed during 6 months as follows: the zinc group received 30 mg of zinc gluconate, the selenium group received 200 mcg of selenium yeast and the zinc + selenium group received both micronutrients at the same doses and presentations. Individuals in the control group were followed during the same time without any nutritional supplementation. Body composition (weight, body mass index [BMI], fat mass and muscle mass), BMD, blood pressure, blood biochemical parameters (cholesterol, glucose and triglycerides), serum zinc and selenium concentrations, CD4+ T cell count and CD4+ and CD8+ T cells immune activation were assessed before and after supplementation. One individual of each supplementation group and one of the control group were analyzed for single cell transcriptomics before and after supplementation. Results: BMI (p=0.03), fat mass in kg (p=0.03) and percentage (p=0.02), as well as trunk fat (p=0.01), were significantly decreased after selenium supplementation. No changes were observed for body composition, BMD, biochemical determinations or blood pressure on the other intervention groups after supplementation (p>0.05 in all cases). The CD4+ T cells frequency and count significantly increased after selenium and zinc supplementation (p=0.03, p=0.05 respectively). CD4+ and CD8+ T-cell immune activation did not change after supplementation (p>0.05 in both cases). On the single cell transcriptome analysis, zinc and selenium supplementation significantly change de expression of genes associated with the function of naive and memory CD8+ T cells (adjusted p<0.05 in all cases). Conclusions: Selenium supplementation have beneficial effects on the body composition, while zinc and selenium supplementation increased CD4+ T cell replenishment of PLWHIV on long-term ART without metabolic diseases. Additionally, zinc and selenium supplementation modified the expression of genes associated with the function of naive and memory CD8+ T cells. Zinc and selenium supplementation are a simple, low-cost, and safe nutritional treatment that represents a complementary intervention to improve the health status and increase the quality of life of clinically stable PLWHIV without metabolic diseases.

Project description:The obese, insulin resistant state is characterized by impairments in lipid metabolism. Dietary polyphenols might improve these deteriorations. We have previously shown that 3-days supplementation of combined Epigallocatechin-gallate and Resveratrol (E+R) increased energy expenditure, which was accompanied by improved metabolic flexibility after a high-fat mixed-meal (HFMM) in men. The present study aimed to investigate whether these short-term effects translate into longer-term improvement of insulin sensitivity and lipid metabolism. In this randomized, double-blind study, 42 overweight subjects (21 male, 38Â±2 yrs, BMI 29.7Â±0.5 kg/m2, HOMA-IR 2.1Â±0.2) received either E+R (300 and 80 mg/d, respectively) or placebo (PLA) for 12 weeks (3 months). Before (t0) and after (t3) intervention, tissue-specific insulin sensitivity was assessed by a hyperinsulinemic-euglycemic clamp with stable isotope infusion. Fasting and postprandial (HFMM) lipid metabolism was assessed using indirect calorimetry and blood sampling. Adipose tissue and skeletal muscle lipolysis was measured using microdialysis in men and skeletal muscle biopsies were collected to assess mitochondrial function and gene expression alterations via microarray analysis. E+R supplementation increased fasting (P=0.06) and postprandial (P=0.03) fat oxidation but did not alter energy expenditure compared to PLA. This was accompanied by an E+R-induced increase in oxidative capacity in permeabilized muscle fibers (p<0.05). Moreover, E+R supplementation attenuated the increase in plasma triacylglycerol concentration that was observed in the PLA group (AUC, p<0.05), and tended to decrease visceral fat mass (P=0.09). Finally, insulin-stimulated glucose disposal and suppression of endogenous glucose production were not affected by E+R supplementation. 12 weeks E+R supplementation increased whole-body fat oxidation and skeletal muscle oxidative capacity, but this did not translate into increased tissue-specific insulin sensitivity in overweight and obese subjects. To identify pathways that may underlie the E+R-induced improvement of skeletal muscle mitochondrial capacity, we performed microarray analysis on skeletal muscle biopsies (vastus lateralis muscle), collected before and after 12-weeks E+R or PLA treatment. Gene Set Enrichment Analysis (GSEA) indicated that the most upregulated pathways after E+R supplementation were related to the citric acid cycle and respiratory electron transport chain, while pathways related to carbohydrate metabolism were upregulated in the PLA group. In this randomized, double-blind placebo-controlled, parallel intervention trial, subjects received either a combination of E+R supplements (INTV, 282 mg/d and 80 mg/d, respectively) or placebo (PLA, partly hydrolyzed microcrystalline cellulose-filled capsules) for a period of 12 weeks (3 months) to assess effects of E+R supplementation on tissue-specific insulin sensitivity (primary outcomes) and fasting and postprandial substrate metabolism (secondary outcomes). Skeletal muscle (m. vastus lateralis) biopsies were taken under local anesthesia during fasting conditions before (t0) and after the 12-weeks (t3) intervention period. Extraxted RNA was hybridized on HTA 2.0 Affymetrix arrays and microarray analysis was performed on paired sample sets for 27 subjects (p, PLA n = 14; E+R n = 13).
