Our previous report indicated that magnesium (Mg) deficiency increased molybdenum (Mo) concentration in the rat liver, suggesting the possibility that Mg deficiency affects Mo metabolism. Growing male rats were given a control diet or a Mg-deficient diet for 4 weeks. Urine and feces were collected during the second and fourth weeks of the feeding trial. The liver, kidney, spleen, skeletal muscle, and blood were collected at the end of the feeding trial. Mg deficiency did not affect the apparent absorption of Mo, but it reduced urinary excretion of Mo. The retention of Mo tended to be higher in the Mg-deficient group than in the control group. Hepatic Mo concentration was higher in the Mg-deficient group than in the control group, but Mg deficiency did not affect Mo concentration in other tissues and plasma. Mg deficiency downregulated the mRNA expression of Mo transporter 2 (MOT2) in the liver, but not in the kidney. These results suggest that Mg deficiency decreases urinary Mo excretion, which is too slight to affect plasma Mo concentration, and that Mg deficiency selectively disturbs the homeostatic mechanism of Mo in the liver, which is not related to the mRNA expression of MOT2 in the liver. 相似文献

INTRODUCTION: Dietary fish oil promotes bone formation in healthy states, but its effect during insulin deficiency or nutrient restriction is unclear. METHODS: Eighty weanling male rats were randomized to receive an injection of streptozotocin to induce insulin deficiency (diabetes) or saline (control) and a diet containing soy oil or corn + fish oil for 35 days. Half of the saline-injected rats were randomized to 20% dietary restriction. Measurements were growth, biomarkers of bone metabolism and femur bone mass. RESULTS: Density of femur was elevated in the corn + fish group and reduced in the diabetes group. Plasma osteocalcin and bone prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) were reduced by the corn + fish diet. N-telopeptide, IGF-1, bone PGE2 and urinary Ca were highest and calcitriol lowest in the diabetes group. CONCLUSIONS: These data suggest that the benefit of a diet high in n-3 long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acid is most advantageous to long bone density in healthy states. 相似文献

The aims of this study were to estimate of psychomotor activity, emotional status and magnesium (Mg) content in blood of rats fed with Mg-deficient diet for 49 days; and to find out whether the combination of vitamin B6 with Mg will reveal antidepressant- and anxiolytic-like activity and reduce the length of the treatment needed to recover rats from Mg-deficient condition. To induce hypomagnesemia, seventy-nine rats were placed on a Mg-deficient diet (Mg content < or = 15 mg/kg) and demineralized water for 7 weeks. Eight control rats were fed a basal control diet. On the forty-ninth day of Mg-deficient diet, rats were treated one of the six supplementations: Mg L-aspartate alone and in combination with pyridoxine, MgCl2 x 6H2O alone and in combination with pyridoxine, Magne B6 (Mg lactate with pyridoxine) and Mg sulfate (50 mg Mg and 5 mg vitamin B6 per kg). In our study Mg-deficiency was associated with depleted intraerythrocytic (0.748 +/- 0.036 vs. 1.83 +/- 0.026 mmol/l, p < 0.001) and plasma (0.567 +/- 0.029 vs. 1.20 +/- 0.030 mmol/l, p < 0.001) Mg level compared to control rats. It was shown Mg deficiency resulted in depression-like and anxiety-related behavior in rats. Open field test result in rats including locomotor activity (number of crossed squares) and vertical activity (number of standing on hind paws), number of visiting in central squares were decreased significantly. In the elevated plus maze test, the number of visiting open arms (by 63.6%) and residence time (by 78.5%) of rats were significantly less as compared with the control group. In the forced swimming test, time immobile was significantly increased (by 70.2%) and time of swimming was decreased (by 15%) compared to control. Mg salts alone and in combination with vitamin B6 administered to Mg-deficient rats increased the Mg level in plasma and erythrocytes. Furthermore, this increase was in relation to vitamin B6 given to the animal. It was established, that the application of Mg L-aspartate and MgCl2 x 6H2O in combinations with pyridoxine led to correction of behavioural disturbances of Mg-deficient animals. Antidepressant- and anxiolytic-like activity of studied salts was comparable with those observed in Magne B6 treatment and significantly higher than in Mg sulfate treatment. 相似文献

Vitamin K has been known to regulate bone formation through osteocalcin synthesis by osteoblasts, which is important for mineralization and bone structure. The mechanism underlying the relationship of vitamin K with the changes of microanatomy is not fully understood, and our goal is to test whether bone deformities develop in association with vitamin K deficiency. Fish were fed a semi-purified diet containing either devoid (0.00 mg/kg diet) or adequate (40.0 mg/kg diet supplemented but 20.8 mg/kg analyzed) levels of vitamin K (menadione sodium bisulphite) for 20 weeks. At the end of 8 and 20 weeks, fish were subjected to gross examination and X-ray, and mineral content of the vertebrae was measured. The vertebrae were also subjected to histological, histomorphometric and enzyme histochemical examinations to determine the bone formation and resorption. Vitamin K deficiency primarily decreased bone mineralization and subsequently a decrease in bone mass thus resulted in an increased susceptibility to bone deformity. The occurrence of bone deformities coincided with an increased amount of osteoid tissue and decreased bone mineral content. Number of osteoblasts and osteoclasts were not affected by dietary vitamin K. In conclusion, vitamin K deficiency can impair bone mineralization and enhances bone deformities. 相似文献

The effects of soluble corn bran arabinoxylans on cecal digestion, lipid metabolism, and mineral utilization [calcium (Ca) and magnesium (Mg)] were investigated in rats adapted to semipurified diets. The diets provided either 710 g/kg wheat starch alone (control) or 610 g/kg wheat starch plus 100 g/kg corn soluble fiber (arabinoxylans) and either 0 or 2 g/kg cholesterol (control + cholesterol and arabinoxylans + cholesterol, respectively). Compared with rats fed the control diets, rats fed the arabinoxylan diets had significant cecal hypertrophy (+50% after 3 days of the fiber adaptation) and an accumulation of short-chain fatty acids, especially propionic acid (up to 45% in molar percentage). Arabinoxylans enhanced the cecal absorption of Ca and Mg (from 0.07 to 0.19 micromol/min for Ca and from 0.05 to 0.23 micromol/min for Mg). Mg balance was enhanced by arabinoxylans (+25%). The arabinoxylan diet markedly reduced the cholesterol absorption from 50% of ingested cholesterol in controls up to approximately 15% in rats adapted to the arabinoxylans diet. Arabinoxylans were effective in lowering plasma cholesterol (approximately -20%). There was practically no effect of the diets on cholesterol in d > 1.040 lipoproteins (high density lipoproteins) whereas arabinoxylans were very effective in depressing cholesterol in d < 1.040 lipoproteins (especially in triglyceride-rich lipoproteins). Corn fermentable fiber decreased the accumulation of cholesterol in the liver. In parallel, the arabinoxylan diet counteracted the downregulation of 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-CoA by cholesterol. These data suggest that arabinoxylans may have a great impact on intestinal fermentation, mineral utilization, and cholesterol metabolism. 相似文献

Previous studies have revealed that magnesium (Mg) plays a significant role in bone health; however, few studies have investigated the effects of Mg supplementation in diets with different calcium (Ca) levels on the bone status and bone metabolism in a growing stage. In this present study, we tested the effects of Mg supplementation on bone status in growing female rats, relative to Ca intake levels. A total of 40 Sprague–Dawley female rats aged 6 weeks were divided into the following four groups and fed for 12 weeks as indicated: (1) LCaAMg: low Ca (Ca, 0.1 % of total diet) and adequate Mg (Mg, 0.05 % of total diet), (2) LCaHMg: low Ca and high Mg ( Mg, 0.1 % of total diet), (3) ACaAMg: adequate Ca (Ca, 0.5 % of total diet) and adequate Mg, and (4) ACaHMg: adequate Ca and high Mg. Our results showed that Mg supplementation with the adequate Ca diet significantly increased the bone mineral contents, bone size (bone area and bone thickness), and bone mineral density of femur or tibia by improving bone metabolism without changing Ca absorption. Mg supplementation significantly increased the serum osteocalcin in the adequate-Ca-diet group ( p?<?0.05), while the Mg supplementation significantly decreased the serum level of C-telopeptide cross-links of type I collagen in the adequate-Ca-diet group ( p?<?0.001). This study suggests that Mg supplementation with adequate Ca intake in the growing stage may increase the bone mineral density and bone size by improving bone metabolism. 相似文献

1. 1 alpha-Hydroxy[7-3H]cholecalciferol (specific radioactivity of 2-Ci/mmol) was synthesized, and its metabolism in chicks studied. 2. 1 alpha-Hydroxy[7-3H]cholecalciferol was metabolized very rapidly in the chick to 1 alpha,25-dihydroxy[7-3H]cholecalciferol and to a metabolite less polar than 1 alpha-hydroxycholecalciferol. Intestine exhibited highest accumulation of 1 alpha-25-dihydroxy[7-3H]cholecalciferol, and liver exhibited highest accumulation of the non-polar metabolite. 3. Tissue uptake of 1 alpha-hydroxy[7-3H]cholecalciferol and its metabolites in chicks that were dosed continuously for 16 days with 1 alpha-hydroxy[7-3H]cholecalciferol did not exceed by very much that observed in tissues obtained from chicks that were dosed with a single injection of 1 alpha-hydroxy[7-3H]cholecalciferol 24 h before killing, except for liver and kidney. 4. Lowest accumulation of metabolites was noted in muscle and bone, and for the latter, highest uptake of 1 alpha,25-dihydroxy[7-3H]cholecalciferol was noted in the epiphysial periosteum and the metaphysis. 5. Formation of 1 alpha,24,25-trihydroxy[7-3H]cholecalciferol was not observed in the chicks that were dosed continuously with 1 alpha-hydroxy[7-3H]cholecalciferol, despite the fact that plasma calcium and phosphorus were normal and despite the presence of renal 24-hydroxylase activity. 6. The vitamin D status of the chicks did not appear to affect the metabolic profile of the administered 1 alpha-hydroxy[7-3H]cholecalciferol. 相似文献

This study reports the effects of dietary iron (Fe) deficiency and recovery on bone mineral composition and strength in anemic
rats submitted to a hemoglobin (Hb) repletion assay. Weanling male Wistar rats were fed a low-Fe diet (12 mg/kg) for 15 days
followed by 2 weeks of Fe repletion with diets providing 35 mg Fe/kg as either ferrous sulfate ( n = 8) or ferric pyrophosphate (FP; n = 12). At final day of each period (depletion and repletion), Fe-adequate animals were also euthanized. Iron status (blood
Hb, Hb Fe pool, Hb regeneration efficiency), tibia mineral concentrations (Ca, Mg, Fe, Cu, and Zn) and biomechanical properties
were evaluated. Iron-deficient rats had lower tibia Fe and Mg levels and bone strength when compared to controls. Yield load
and resilience were positively related to tibia Mg levels ( r = 0.47, P = 0.02 and r = 0.56, P = 0.004, respectively). Iron repletion did not recover tibia Mg concentrations impaired by Fe deficiency. Moreover, bone
elastic properties were negatively affected by FP consumption. In conclusion, bone mineral composition and strength were affected
by Fe deficiency, whereas dietary Fe source influenced tibia Mg and resistance in the period during which rats were recovering
from anemia. 相似文献

The objective of this study was to investigate the effects of dietary zinc deficiency and diet restriction on bone development in growing rats, and to determine whether any adverse effects could be reversed by dietary repletion. Weanling rats were fed either a zinc-deficient diet ad libitum (ZD; <1 mg zinc/kg) or nutritionally complete diet (30 mg zinc/kg) either ad libitum (CTL) or pair-fed to the intake of the ZD group (DR; diet-restricted) for 3 weeks (deficiency phase) and then all groups were fed the zinc-adequate diet ad libitum for 3, 7, or 23 days (repletion phase). Excised femurs were analyzed for bone mineral density (BMD) using dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry, and plasma was analyzed for markers of bone formation (osteocalcin) and resorption (Ratlaps). After the deficiency phase, ZD had lower body weight and reduced femur BMD, zinc, and phosphorus concentrations compared with DR; and these parameters were lower in DR compared with CTL. Femur calcium concentrations were unchanged among the groups. Reduced plasma osteocalcin in ZD and elevated plasma Ratlaps in DR suggested that zinc deficiency limits bone formation while diet restriction accelerates bone resorption activity. After 23 days of repletion, femur size, BMD, and zinc concentrations remained lower in ZD compared with DR and CTL. Body weight and femur phosphorus concentrations remained lower in both ZD and DR compared with CTL after repletion. There were no differences in plasma osteocalcin concentrations after the repletion phase, but the plasma Ratlaps concentrations remained elevated in DR compared with CTL. In summary, both ZD and DR lead to osteopenia during rapid growth, but the mechanisms appear to be due to reduced modeling in ZD and higher turnover in DR. Zinc deficiency was associated with a greater impairment in bone development than diet restriction, and both deficiencies limited bone recovery during repletion in growing rats. 相似文献

Scientific evidence has shown the nutritional importance of boron (B) in the remodeling and repair of cancellous bone tissue. However, the effects of the nutritional deficiency of B on the cortical bone tissue of the appendicular skeleton have not yet been described. Thus, a study was performed to histomorphometrically evaluate the density of osteocyte lacunae of cortical bone of mouse femora under conditions of nutritional deficiency of B and to analyze the effects of the deficiency on the biomechanical properties of mouse tibiae. Weaning, 21-day-old male Swiss mice were assigned to the following two groups: controls (B+; n = 10) and experimental (B−; n = 10). Control mice were fed a basal diet containing 3 mg B/kg, whereas experimental mice were fed a B-deficient diet containing 0.07 mg B/kg for 9 weeks. The histological and histomorphometric evaluations of the mice fed a B-deficient diet showed a decrease in the density of osteocyte lacunae in the femoral cortical bone tissue and the evaluation of biomechanical properties showed lower bone rigidity in the tibia. 相似文献

Magnesium (Mg) deficiency is well known to affect metabolism of some trace minerals. We investigated the effect of Mg deficiency on hepatic concentration of various minerals in rats. Twelve 5-week-old male rats were divided into the groups given a control diet and an Mg-deficient diet. After 4?weeks, liver sample was collected from each rat. The concentrations of 36 minerals were simultaneously determined by a semiquantitative method of inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry (ICP-MS). The semiquantitative analysis showed that Mg deficiency significantly increased iron (Fe), copper (Cu), zinc (Zn), gallium (Ga), yttrium (Y), zirconium (Zr), molybdenum (Mo), rhodium (Rh), silver (Ag), and barium (Ba) concentrations, and significantly decreased scandium (Sc) and niobium (Nb) concentrations in rat liver. Then, hepatic Fe, Cu, Zn, Sc, Zr, and Mo concentrations were quantitatively measured, which indicated the similar effects as observed by the semiquantitative analysis. Additionally, the semiquantitative measurements of these minerals were highly correlated to these measurements with the quantitative method, but the measurements were not completely consistent between these analyses. The present study is the first research indicating the changes of hepatic Ga, Y, Zr, Mo, Rh, Ag, Ba, Sc, and Nb concentrations in Mg-deficient rats. The present study also indicates that the semiquantitative analysis with ICP-MS is a valid method for screening analysis to investigate various mineral concentrations in animal tissues. 相似文献

It is not known if the effects of vitamin D deficiency on chick bone are due to direct actions of the vitamin or if they are secondary to other changes, such as hypocalcemia. Day-old cockerels were fed either a rachitogenic diet containing no Ca (−D-Ca), 1.4% Ca (−D), or 3% Ca (−DHiCa) and given corn oil (−D groups) or vitamin D 3 in corn oil (+D and + D-Ca) p.o. for up to 21 days. Radii were harvested and incubated for 6–8 h in a defined medium. Medium samples were taken every 2 h and analysed for Ca, P 1 and lactate. Some bones were incubated in a respirometer to measure O 2 consumption. Compared to +D, −D birds showed evidence of D deficiency by decreased plasma Ca concentration (33%), bone and body weight (43%) and Ca release from bone (70%) and by histological changes in bone characteristic of rickets. Increases were seen in total and bone alkaline phosphatase activity in plasma (270 and 706%, respectively), P i release (23%), O 2 consumption (23%) and lactate production (52%) by the −D radii. The marked hypocalcemia seen in the −D chicks did not occur in −DHiCa birds. Nevertheless, bone and body weights were decreased in this group and bone lactate production, O 2 consumption and total and bone alkaline phosphatase in plasma were increased. Rachitic bone lesions were only partially corrected by the high-Ca diet. Release of Ca and P i from the −DHiCa bone? was not different than from +D radii. Comparing +D-Ca and −D-Ca groups with +D chicks, both were hypocalcemic with decreased bone weight, body weight and bone Ca release, while showing elevated lactate production and P i release. The only difference between the +D-Ca and −D-Ca groups was a 50% decrease in Ca release by −D-Ca bone. The results suggest that in chicks: ( 1) some, but not all, of the effects of vitamin D deficiency on bone can be corrected by normalizing plasma Ca and ( 2) evaluation of the effects of vitamin D deficiency on bone may require hypocalcemia, since some responses are masked by normocalcemia. 相似文献

Radioactively labelled cholecalciferol was administered continuously to chicks that were fed normal, low-calcium and low-phosphorus diets. It has been possible to show that under such steady state conditions with regard to cholecalciferol, and mineral restriction, the animal reacts by increased accumulation of 1,25-dihydroxycholecalciferol in the intestinal and the kidney cell, which was associated in the intestine with an increased calcium-binding activity. A similar accumulation of 1,25-dihydroxycholecalciferol in bone was not noticed.It is proposed that the intestine and the kidney, but not bone, are the main target organs for cholecalciferol in the maintenance of calcium homeostasis, and that both calcium and phosphorus play a role in the regulation of the formation and subsequent function of 1,25-dihydroxycholecalciferol. 相似文献

Metabolic responses of cholecalciferol (VD(3)) and minerals (Ca, P and Mg) in abalone Haliotis discus hannai Ino to dietary VD(3) and phosphorus (P) were investigated. Based on a 2 x 2 factorial design, four casein-gelatin-based diets were formulated. The basal diet was supplemented with either 0 or 2000 IU VD(3)/kg diet and 0 or 10 g P/kg diet. The abalone was reared in P-free artificial seawater for 55 days. Results showed that dietary VD(3) was hydroxylated to 25-hydroxyvitamin D(3) [25(OH)D(3)] and 1 alpha,25-dihydroxyvitamin D(3) [1 alpha,25(OH)(2)D(3)] in abalone, and subsequently raised the serum levels of these two VD(3) metabolites. Dietary P deficiency elevated serum 1 alpha,25(OH)(2)D(3) level only when the dietary VD(3) supplementation was sufficient. The supplementations of either dietary VD(3) or P significantly increased the levels of P in serum, mantle and hepatopancreas, and only the addition of VD(3) significantly raised the concentrations of Ca in serum and mantle (P<0.05). Interaction between dietary VD(3) and P was only found significant on the concentrations of P and Mg in mantle (P<0.05). The concentrations of Ca, P and Mg in muscle were not significantly influenced by these dietary treatments. Hence, the metabolic responses in serum, muscle, mantle and hepatopancreas of abalone to dietary VD(3) and P were in different manners. 相似文献

Iron deficiency (ID) remains a public health concern affecting ~25% of the world’s population. Metabolic consequences of ID include elevated plasma glucose concentrations consistent with increased reliance on glucose as a metabolic substrate, though the mechanisms controlling these responses remain unclear. To further characterize the metabolic response to ID, weanling male Sprague–Dawley rats were fed either a control (C; 40 mg Fe/kg diet) or iron-deficient (ID; 3 mg Fe/kg diet) diet or were pair-fed (PF) the C diet to the level of intake of the ID group for 21 days. In addition to reductions in hemoglobin, hematocrit, and plasma iron, the ID group also exhibited higher percent body fat and plasma triglycerides compared to the PF group. Steady-state levels of both plasma glucose and insulin increased 40 and 45%, respectively, in the ID group compared to the PF group. Plasma cortisol levels were decreased 67% in the ID group compared to the PF diet group. The systematic evaluation of the expression of genes involved in insulin signaling, glucose metabolism, and fatty acid metabolism in the liver and skeletal muscle revealed significant alterations in the expression of 48 and 52 genes in these tissues, respectively. A significant concurrent increase in lipogenic gene expression and decrease in gene expression related to β-oxidation in both the liver and skeletal muscle, in combination with differential tissue expression of genes involved in glucose metabolism, provides novel insight into the adaptive metabolic response in rodent models of severe iron deficiency anemia. 相似文献

This study was conducted to evaluate the effects of dietary vitamin K (menadione) on bone quality in cage-raised broilers. Three hundred and sixty male broilers were randomly allotted to one of six treatments, with six replicate pens per treatment and 10 chicks per pen. Broilers were fed one of six diets including a control diet or the control diet plus graded levels of vitamin K (0.5 mg/kg, 2 mg/kg, 8 mg/kg, 32 mg/kg and 128 mg/kg). Water and feed were provided ad libitum during the 7-week experimental period. Results indicated that vitamin K supplementation of broilers diets significantly effected bone quality and feed efficiency. The treatment containing vitamin K at 8 mg/kg improved growth performance (during weeks 6 - 7) and bone quality (during weeks 0 - 3). In our study, hydroxyapatite binding capacity of serum osteocalcin (during weeks 0 - 3), bone breaking strength, bone flexibility, bone ash weight increased linearly ( P < 0.05) and bone mineral density, bone mineral content increased quadratically ( P < 0.05) with increasing supplementation of vitamin K. In conclusion, to gain optimum bone quality and broiler performance, our studies suggest that the concentration of vitamin K in broilers diets should be 8 mg/kg, 2 mg/kg, and 2 mg/kg, for the starter, grower and finisher phases, respectively. Furthermore, it was shown that the starter period is an important phase for improving bone quality. In addition, this study validated the mechanism of vitamin K effects on bone quality. Vitamin K boosts the carboxylation of osteocalcin and decreases the concentration of serum undercarboxylated osteocalcin enhancing hydroxyapatite binding capacity of serum osteocalcin and improving bone quality. 相似文献

We investigated the effects of dietary iron deficiency on bone metabolism by measuring markers of bone turnover in rats. Twelve 3-week-old male Wistar-strain rats were fed a control diet or an iron-deficient diet for 4 weeks. Dietary iron deficiency decreased hemoglobin concentration and increased heart weight. Serum osteocalcin concentration, bone mineral content, bone mineral density, and mechanical strength of the femur were significantly lower in the iron-deficient group than in the control group. These results suggested that dietary iron deficiency affected bone, which might have been due to a decrease in bone formation in rats. 相似文献

Sprague-Dawley rats were kept at 28 degrees C from 21 to 517 days age and fed one of the two following diets: a semi-purified diet containing 502 p.p.m. of Mg (control) or the same diet containing only 120 p.p.m. (mg/kg) (low-Mg). The chronic suboptimal intake of Mg by rats fed the low-Mg diet did not result in overt signs of Mg deficiency even when Mg levels were greatly reduced in carcass, plasma, and tibia, but it significantly decreased bone strength. It is suggested that Mg deficiency in man could be a factor in the weakening of bone, commonly observed in old age, even when there are no visible signs of Mg deficiency. Studies of the human situation would be of interest. 相似文献
