Project description:In recent years, the increasing incidence of goose gout has caused serious economic losses. In this study, we explored the effects of lactulose on intestinal health and uric acid metabolism in geese, and used RNA-seq analysis to reveal its potential mechanism. 180 one-day-old Yangzhou geese were divided into three groups: control group (CG, basal diet), high protein model group (MG, containing 21 % crude protein diet), lactulose group (LS, containing 21 % crude protein diet + 0.3 % lactulose). Results showed that compared with the CG group and MG group, the LS group had significantly lower serum uric acid levels and intact ileal mucosal structure. Through bioinformatics analysis of transcriptome (GO and KEGG enrichment analysis, GSEA and trend analysis), we found key pathways and genes closely related to intestinal health and uric acid metabolism. These key findings include: zinc ion import across plasma membrane biological process, ABC Transporters pathway, Wnt signaling pathway, as well as ABCG2, a key gene for uric acid transport, and genes closely related to intestinal structural integrity (KLF2, LRP6, TJP1, TJP3, PROM1). The results showed that lactulose could effectively reduce the serum uric acid level of geese by improving intestinal morphology.

Project description:Ingestion of collagen peptide elicits beneficial effects on the body. Improvement of blood lipid is one of the effects, but its mechanism remains unclear. Male BALB/cCrSlc mice were bred with the AIN-93M diet containing 14% casein or AIN-93M-based low-protein diet containing 10% casein or diet containing 6% casein+4% collagen peptide (n=12/group) for 10 weeks．Total, free, and esterified cholesterol levels in the blood decreased in the collagen peptide group. DNA microarray analysis of the liver revealed that expression of the genes related to lipid metabolic process, such as PPAR signaling pathway and fatty acid metabolism, increased in the collagen peptide group compared to the 10% casein group. In contrast, expression of the genes related to unfolded protein response (UPR) and protein level of phospho-IRE1 decreased. Our data suggest that lipid metabolism in the liver was altered by collagen ingestion, which probably results in the decreased levels of blood cholesterol.

Project description:Background and aims: Glutamine plays a key role in cellular metabolism and tissue homeostasis. In obesity, circulating glutamine levels decline, accompanied by impaired bone homeostasis and increased fracture risk. While dietary glutamine supplementation shows metabolic benefits, its effects on bone and fat metabolism remain unclear. This study investigates whether glutamine supplementation mitigates obesity-induced alterations in bone and fat metabolism. Methods: C57BL/6J male mice were subjected to a 2-month dietary intervention with either high-fat diet (HFD) or HFD supplemented with glutamine (HFD + G) and low-fat diet (LFD) as a control group. Body weight, fat mass, glucose tolerance, white adipose tissue (WAT) morphology, and bone parameters were analyzed. Functional assays of adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells (AT-MSCs) and bone marrow stromal cells (BMSCs) assessed metabolic phenotype and differentiation potential. Glutamine turnover was evaluated, and findings were extended to human BMSCs to assess sex-specific patterns of glutaminolysis. Results: Glutamine supplementation attenuated body weight gain, fat mass, and WAT weight, along with improved glucose tolerance compared to HFD-fed mice. In WAT, glutamine reduced adipocyte hypertrophy and inflammation, while in AT-MSCs it suppressed obesity-driven hyper-metabolic phenotype by shifting cells toward quiescence. In bone, glutamine improved bone quality, along with reduced bone marrow adiposity and decreased bone resorption. BMSCs from glutamine-treated mice showed decreased adipogenic and increased osteogenic potential, supported by enhanced glutamine turnover, which maintained the stemness of the cells and reduced the inflammation induced by obesity. In human BMSCs, glutamine metabolism displayed sex-specific differences, underscoring its physiological relevance.

Project description:Selenium (Se) is an essential cofactor of the antioxidant enzyme glutathione peroxidase beside other functions. The evaluation of optimal selenium supplementation in chicken feed and the subsequent effects on animal health and performance requires comprehensive knowledge of the overall metabolic effects of selenium. Therefore the gene expression was measured in the control group with a standard diet and in the group with a Se supplemented diet (0.5mg Se/kg diet) to determine significantly altered gene expression. The selenium was supplemented in the form of selenized yeast (Se-yeast), which mainly consists of organic Se in the form of L-selenomethionine and L-selenocysteine. The control group received a diet, which contained 70μg of Se / kg diet and the Se-yeast group 620μg of Se / kg diet (analyzed).

Project description:We investigated the nutritional effects on gene expression in a three generation Large White pig feeding experiment. A group of experimental (E) F0 boars were fed a standard diet supplemented with high amounts of methylating micronutrients whereas a control (C) group of F0 boars received a standard diet. These differentially fed F0 boars sired F1 boars which then sired 60 F2 pigs. Gene expression profiles showed significant twofold differences in mRNA level between 8 C F2 offspring and 8 E F2 offspring for 79, 64 and 53 probes for muscle, liver and kidney RNA, respectively. We found that in liver and muscle respective pathways of lipid metabolism and metabolic pathway were over-represented for the differentially expressed genes. Gene expression in three tissue types of F2 offspring from differentially fed F0 boars were measured. F0 boars received either a standard diet or a standard diet supplemented with methylating micronutrients. These boars produced the F1 males that received exclusively the standard diet. The F2 generation was then produced with these F1 boars. Gene expression was measured in liver, skeletal muscle and kidney of 8 F2 pigs derived from F0 boars that received the standard diet and of 8 F2 pigs derived from those F0 boars that received the standard diet supplemented with methylating micronutrients.

Project description:A 10-week feeding trial was conducted to determine an appropriate carbohydrate source evaluating growth performance, feed utilization, hepatic activity, whole-body fatty/amino acid composition, liver transcriptomics and gut microbiome for Florida pompano (Trachinotus carolinus). Five isonitrogenous (46.67% crude protein), iso-lipidic (15.15% crude lipid) and isocaloric (385Kcal/100g digestible energy) diets were formulated containing 14% of different source of carbohydrates: whole wheat grain flour (WG), wheat starch (WS), whole corn grain flour (CG), corn starch (CS) and dextrinized corn starch (DCS). The results indicated that: highest percentage weight gain (PWG) and specific growth rate (SGR) were found in fish fed with whole wheat grain flour (WG) diet, the highest feed efficiency (FE) was shown in WG and WS diets, lowest conversion index (CI) was observed in fish fed with WG diet and the highest protein efficiency ratio (PER) was shown in in WS diet. The poorest values were observed in fish fed with CS and DCS diets. The whole-body crude protein and total amino acid and fatty acids composition was not significantly affected by different sources of carbohydrates in the diets. In fish fed with the WG diet, glucose levels in plasma and liver were significantly low while liver glycogen content was statistically high compared to the other diets. Liver transcriptomics analysis revealed differentially expressed genes (DEGs) and gene ontology (GO) enrichment analysis highlighting up/down regulated biological functions depending on the carbohydrate source. The microbial community presented high diversity and richness among treatments. Overall, results indicated that whole wheat grain flour is the more adequate dietary carbohydrate source based on production performance, physio-biochemical and molecular approaches. These data are critical when formulating a complete commercial feed for sustainable and profitable culturing of Florida pompano

Project description:Ecdysteroids are a class of steroid hormones occurring in insects, where they are referred as zooecdysteroids, and in plants, where they are termed phytoecdysteroids. While zooecdysteroids in insects regulate important developmental processes, such as embryogenesis, molting (ecdysis), metamorphosis, reproduction, and diapause, phytoecdysteroids provide protection against invertebrate predators by acting as feeding deterrents and by disrupting critical developmental processes of such invertebrates. The ecdysteroids in insects and plants comprise a great number of different analogues, with 20‐hydroxyecdysone, also called ecdysterone, being the quantitatively dominating biologically active analogue in both, insects and plants. Although phytoecdysteroids are effective toxins or antifeedants towards non-adapted herbivorous invertebrate predators, ecdysteroids are apparently non-toxic to mammals and even have been shown to exert a variety of interesting metabolic actions, such as antiobesity, hypoglycemic and protein-anabolic effects. In the present study aimed to test the hypothesis that ecdysterone causes lipid-lowering effects in obese Zucker rats. To test this hypothesis, two groups of obese Zucker rats were fed a nutrient-adequate diet supplemented without or with 0.05% ecdysterone. This ecdysterone concentration was appropriate to achieve a similar dose of ecdysterone per kg body weight BW as applied in other rodent studies, in which ecdysterone caused either hepatic and plasma lipid-lowering effects or antiobesity effects in different rodent models. In order to decipher the potential lipid-lowering actions of ecdysteroids in Zucker rats, measurements of liver and plasma lipid concentrations and hepatic transcriptome analysis was carried out. To further study if ecdysterone is capable of alleviating the strong lipid-synthetic activity in the liver of obese Zucker rats, the study included also two groups of lean Zucker rats which also received either the ecdysterone-supplemented or the non-supplemented diet.
