This study aimed to evaluate the protein requirement of Clarias batrachus fry, were estimated at two different water temperatures, 28 and 32 °C. The influence of dietary protein level and water temperature on body composition, weight gain, food and nutrient utilization were estimated. The Asian catfish, C. batrachus fry were fed four diets containing 28% (diet 1), 32% (diet 2), 36% (diet 3) and 40% (diet 4) protein levels and reared at two water temperatures 28 and 32 °C for 60 days. Fry fed with diet 3 containing 36% protein showed the highest mean final body weight at 32 °C. Final body weight was significantly (P<0.05) affected by dietary treatments and temperatures. Clarias batrachus fry raised at 28 °C had higher feed efficiency (93.20%) than the fry reared at 32 °C (87.58%) with 28% dietary protein level. Further, feed efficiency decreased with increase in dietary protein level. Higher daily protein retention (0.089%) observed at lower (0.0217 g) daily protein intake at 28 °C than 0.0283 g at 32 °C. While, optimal (0.0282 g) daily protein intake showed higher daily weight gain at 32 °C. Productive protein value (% PPV) was maximum (1.76%) at 32 °C than at 28 °C (0.76%). Final body lipid recorded higher value than initial body lipid at both the temperatures. Hepatosomatic index (HSI) observed to have been influenced (P<0.05) by diets and temperatures, while viscerosomatic index (VSI) affected (P<0.05) by only diets and not (P>0.05) by temperatures. The study concluded that the diet 3 containing 36% protein was optimal for growth of C. batrachus fry at both the temperatures. 相似文献

1. Plasma magnesium, cortisol, lactate and ascorbic acid were examined in common carp subjected to various dietary treatments and following handling stress. 2. Under conditions of satisfied dietary magnesium and ascorbate requirements, plasma cortisol concentration after stress increased less pronouncedly than in fish fed large doses of ascorbate and/or magnesium. 3. Plasma lactate increased significantly in all groups after stress, although the increase seemed to be more severe (detrimental) in fish on large doses of ascorbate, either as ascorbic acid (AA) or ascorbic monophosphate Mg salt (AP). 4. Large doses of dietary ascorbate, both AA and AP, resulted in a significant increase of total ascorbate concentration in kidney and hepatopancreas of carp in comparison to pre-experimental level. 5. Kidney total ascorbate concentration decreased by 10-23% in all groups but one in which fish fed diet supplemented with AA displayed a significant increase (30%) of tissue ascorbate. The opposite trend was found in hepatopancreas of AA group with 21.5% ascorbate depletion. 6. The present results suggest that plasma cortisol and kidney (steroidogenesis site) and hepatopancreas ascorbate concentration responses to stress may not be related. Our results also do not support the hypothesis of the primary role of the high concentration of ascorbate in the kidney inhibiting steroidogenesis. 相似文献

Two experiments were conducted to evaluate the effects of dietary supplementation with Astragalus polysaccharide (APS) on growth performance, apparent ileal digestibilities (AID) of amino acids (AA), and their serum concentrations
in early weaned piglets. In Exp. 1, 60 pigs were weaned at 21 days of age (BW 7.35 ± 0.23 kg) and allocated to three treatments
(20 pigs/treatment), representing supplementing 0.0% (control), 0.02% colistin (antibiotic), or 0.1% APS to a corn- and soybean
meal-based diet. Average daily gain (ADG), average daily feed intake (ADFI), and feed/gain ratio (F/G) were measured weekly.
Blood samples were obtained from five pigs selected randomly from each treatment for the measurement of serum free AA concentrations
on days 7, 14, and 28. In Exp. 2, 12 pigs were weaned at 21 day of age (BW 7.64 ± 0.71 kg), assigned to three treatment groups
as in Exp. 1, and surgically fitted with a simple T-cannula at the terminal ileum. Ileal digesta samples were obtained for
the measurement of AID of AA on days 7, 14 and 28. Dietary APS did not affect ADFI, but enhanced (P < 0.05) ADG by 11 and 4.4%, and improved F/G by 5.6 and 8.4%, respectively, compared with the control and antibiotic groups.
Addition of APS to the diet increased AID and serum concentrations of most nutritionally essential and non-essential AA (including
arginine, proline, glutamate, lysine, methionine, tryptophan, and threonine) on days 14 and 28. Circulating levels of total
AA were affected by the age of pigs and treatment × time interaction. Collectively, these findings indicate that APS may ameliorate
the digestive and absorptive function and regulate AA metabolism to beneficially increase the entry of dietary AA into the
systemic circulation, which provide a mechanism to explain the growth-promoting effect of APS in early weaned piglets. 相似文献

Fish oil decreases matrix metalloproteinases in knee synovia of dogs with inflammatory joint disease
Hansen RA Harris MA Pluhar GE Motta T Brevard S Ogilvie GK Fettman MJ Allen KG 《The Journal of nutritional biochemistry》2008,19(2):101-108
This study was designed to determine whether dietary fish oil affects the expression and activity of matrix metalloproteinases (MMP), tissue inhibitors of MMP-2 (TIMP-2) and urokinase plasminogen activator (uPA) in synovial fluid from dogs with spontaneously occurring stifle (knee) instability in a single hind limb resulting from acute cranial cruciate ligament (CCL) injury. Two groups of 12 dogs were fed diets from 1 week prior to surgery on the affected knee to 56 days post-surgery. The fish oil and control diets provided 90 and 4.5 mg, respectively, of combined eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA)/kg body weight per day. Plasma and synovial fluid, from both surgical and nonsurgical knee joints, were obtained at start of the diet (-7), surgery day (0) and 7, 14, 28 and 56 days post-surgery. Plasma total EPA and DHA were significantly increased, and plasma total arachidonic acid (AA) was significantly decreased by the fish oil diet. In synovial fluid from the nonsurgical knee, fish oil treatment significantly decreased proMMP-2 expression at Days 7 and 14, and proMMP-9 expression at Day 56, and uPA activity at 28 days and significantly increased TIMP-2 expression at Days 7 and 28. There were no differences in MMP expression or activity, TIMP-2 expression and uPA activity in the surgical joint synovial fluid at any time throughout the study. These results suggest that dietary fish oil may exert beneficial effects on synovial fluid MMP and TIMP-2 equilibrium in the uninjured stifle of dogs with unilateral CCL injury. 相似文献

The knowledge about the combined effects of higher temperature and dietary nutrient quality on the diurnal nitrogenous excretion rates is very limited in farmed fish species including European sea bass. Therefore this study investigated the combined effects of increasing levels (30 vs. 60 %) of dietary fish oil replacement by equal mixture of cotton seed oil (CSO) and canola oils (CO) and two different ambient temperature (24 vs. 30 °C) on diurnal total ammonia and Urea–N excretion rates in European sea bass (Dicentrarchus labrax). Experimental diets were fed to fish three times (08:30–13:30–18:30 h) at a fixed rate of 3 % BW.d−1. The daily consumed nitrogen and energy intake of fish were similar during the investigation in different dietary treatments. However, the daily excretion rates of TAN, total nitrogen (TAN+Urea–N) and total nitrogen expressed as a proportion of consumed nitrogen by the European sea bass maintained at 30 °C were found to be significantly (P<0.001) higher (40 to 50%) than fish maintained at 24 °C in all the dietary treatments suggesting higher rates of deamination of ingested amino acids with increased temperature. Daily urea–nitrogen excretion of fish accounted for between 20–30 % of total ammonia–nitrogen excretion rates for each dietary treatment at 24 and 30 °C and appeared to be slightly increased by the temperature but neither the temperature nor the amount of plant oil mixture inclusion in diets or the interaction of these two factors had a significant effect on the urea nitrogen excretion rates of fish in different dietary treatments. However, Urea–N excretion rates in fish fed fish oil only (FO) diet were significantly higher (P<0.05) compared to that of fish fed diets containing increasing amount of plant oil mixture (VOM30 and VOM 60) during the light-on phase of the sampling period at 24 °C indicating periodic enhancement of permeability for urea at excretion sites. Further research is needed in order to elucidate the mechanism of nitrogenous excretion in European sea bass fed plant oil containing diets under extreme summer time temperatures employing total dietary fish oil replacement to reveal the possible effects of alteration in cell membrane phospholipid composition on enzymes responsible for nitrogenous excretion and/or detoxification. 相似文献

The aim of this study was to determine the contribution of dietary amino acids (AA) to energy metabolism under high protein
(HP) diets, using a double tracer method to follow simultaneously the metabolic fate of α-amino groups and carbon skeletons.
Sixty-seven male Wistar rats were fed a normal (NP) or HP diet for 14 days. Fifteen of them were equipped with a permanent
catheter. On day 15, after fasting overnight, they received a 4-g meal extrinsically labeled with a mixture of 20 U-[15N]-[13C] AA. Energy metabolism, dietary AA deamination and oxidation and their transfer to plasma glucose were measured kinetically
for 4 h in the catheterized rats. The transfer of dietary AA to liver glycogen was determined at 4 h. The digestive kinetics
of dietary AA, their transfer into liver AA and proteins and the liver glycogen content were measured in the 52 other rats
that were killed sequentially hourly over a 4-h period. [15N] and [13C] kinetics in the splanchnic protein pools were perfectly similar. Deamination increased fivefold in HP rats compared to
NP rats. In the latter, all deaminated AA were oxidized. In HP rats, the oxidation rate was slower than deamination, so that
half of the deaminated AA was non-oxidized within 4 h. Non-oxidized carbon skeletons were poorly sequestrated in glycogen,
although there was a significant postprandial production of hepatic glycogen. Our results strongly suggest that excess dietary
AA-derived carbon skeletons above the ATP production capacity, are temporarily retained in intermediate metabolic pools until
the oxidative capacities of the liver are no longer overwhelmed by an excess of substrates. 相似文献

Previously starved urchins, Lytechinus variegatus, (36.0 ± 0.8 (SE) mm test diameter) were held in replicated (3) 10-L aquaria with artificial seawater at 22 ± 2 °C and 32‰ salinity and fed three diet treatments. Urchins were fed diets containing 9 : 35, 20 : 23 or 31 : 12% dry protein: % dry carbohydrate (P : C) ad libitum for a 65-day period. Gonads from urchins fed the 9 : 35 P : C diet had similar organic, lower ash, and lower water content than urchins fed the 31 : 12 P : C protein diet. Water content varied with both diet and nutritional history; consequently, water content may have limited value as a predictor of gonad nutritional status. Protein and carbohydrate concentrations in the gonad were directly related to the dietary composition of these nutrients; gonad lipids did not vary with diet. Excess carbohydrates are frequently stored as fats in fish and mammals but this does not appear to be the case in L. variegatus. Test carbohydrate storage and gut protein storage also reflected dietary composition. Image analysis of ovaries indicated decreased nutritive phagocyte volume, increased germinal epithelium volume and larger oocyte diameters in urchins fed high protein, low carbohydrate diets. Analysis of testes also indicated decreased nutritive phagocyte volume and increased gamete volume with urchins fed high protein, low carbohydrate diets, but differences among treatments were less obvious than in ovaries. This study suggests that high protein, low carbohydrate diets promote gamete growth and development. In addition, the biochemical and gametic composition of gonads can be altered by manipulating dietary composition. This could affect the quality and value of sea urchin roe for human consumption. 相似文献

This study evaluated the effects of feeding pigs low protein (LP) diets for different lengths of time after weaning on indices of protein fermentation, the incidence of postweaning diarrhoea (PWD), growth performance, and total-tract apparent digestibility. Sixty weaner pigs weighing 6.1 +/- 0.13 kg (mean +/- SEM) were used in a completely randomised design having five treatments: (i) a high protein diet (HP, 243 g/kg CP) fed for 14 d after weaning (HP14); (ii) a low protein diet (LP, 173 g CP/kg) fed for 5 d after weaning (LP5); (iii) LP diet fed for 7 d after weaning (LP7); (iv) LP diet fed for 10 d after weaning (LP10), and (v) LP diet fed for 14 d after weaning (LP14). All diets were supplemented with lysine, methionine, tryptophan and threonine, with all LP diets additionally fortified with crystalline isoleucine and valine to conform to a proposed ideal amino acid (AA) pattern. A second-stage diet (215 g CP/kg) was fed to pigs at the conclusion of each treatment. None of the diets contained antimicrobial compounds. Feeding a LP diet, regardless of duration of feeding, decreased plasma urea nitrogen (p < 0.001) and faecal ammonia-nitrogen (p < 0.001) contents. Feeding a LP diet, irrespective of feeding duration, decreased the incidence of PWD at day 8 after weaning (p = 0.044), and pigs fed diets LP7, LP010 and LP14 had firmer faeces (p = 0.030, p = 0.047 and p = 0.007, respectively) between days 10 and 12 after weaning. Treatments LP5, LP7, LP10 and LP14 did not reduce (p > 0.05) growth performance up to 106 days after weaning compared to pigs fed the HP diet. Total-tract apparent digestibility of dry matter, energy and crude protein were similar (p > 0.05) between treatments. Our data suggest that feeding a LP diet, supplemented with AA to conform to an ideal AA pattern, for 7-10 days after weaning can reduce PWD in pigs fed antibiotic-free diets without compromising production. 相似文献

Live food enrichment techniques, using formulated diets and emulsions for improving the nutritional quality of Brachionus and Artemia , were studied as a tool for transferring ascorbic acid (AA) to fish larvae.
Artemia nauplii enriched for 24 h with an experimental emulsion containing 20% HUFA and 0%, 10% and 20% ascorbyl palmitate (AP) were administered to catfish larvae in a 20-day feeding trial. Survival was not affected by the dietary AA, but from day 7 onwards a significantly positive effect of supplemental AA on growth was demonstrated. At the end of the experiment the 20% AP group weighed 30% more than the control (0% AP), i.e. 9.5 and 6.3 mg DW, respectively. Evaluation of the physiological condition was demonstrated by salinity tests. In all three treatments larval growth was relatively low, and it still has to be verified if extra vitamin C in the diet really promotes growth. Seabass larvae fed on AP-enriched rotifers (days 4–12) and Artemia nauplii (days 13–46) showed no significant differences in production characteristics nor in stress resistance, however, for all salinity stress tests the 20% AP group performed better. AA was well incorporated into the predator larvae from the Brachionus feeding onwards. 相似文献

The experiment was conducted to determine the protein requirement of Cirrhinus mrigala fry at three different water temperatures, 28, 30 and 32 °C, and to investigate the influence of dietary protein levels and water temperatures on weight gain, body composition, food and nutrient utilization. The 36% protein concentration in the diet yielded highest weight gain at all temperatures from 28 to 32 °C. However, daily protein intake was lower at 28 °C than at 30 and 32 °C. The diet with 36% dietary protein and 32.17% carbohydrate produced the best weight gain and gross conversion efficiency (GCE) at 30 °C. The protein-sparing effect was observed at temperatures 30 and 32 °C in diets 1 and 2, having carbohydrate levels 37.36–44.91%. Highest protein efficiency ratio (PER) was recorded at 28% dietary protein level, while it was lowest at 40% dietary protein level in all three temperatures. Lipid in the body of fishes increased at the end of the experiment in comparison to the initial body lipid. The body protein was found to be related to daily protein intake at 30 and 32 °C. Significant difference (P<0.05) was also noted between temperatures, the hepatosomatic index (HSI) and viscerosomatic index (VSI). The diet with 36% dietary protein and 32.17% carbohydrate was observed to be the best diet for C. mrigala fry at 28–32 °C. 相似文献

Siberian sturgeon (Acipenser baerii Brandt) is one of few fish species capable of synthesizing ascorbic acid (AA); however, it is unknown whether dietary AA is still necessary for this species to generate an optimal non-specific immune response, as is found in most teleostean species that do not synthesize AA. Sturgeon fed either 0 or 500 mg AA (AA polyphosphate) equivalent kg(-1) diets for 2 weeks were then either sham or experimentally injected with Aeromonas hydrophila lipopolysaccharide (LPS) to mimic infection and therefore instigate a non-specific immune response. No significant differences were found in growth and survival throughout the duration of the experiment between sham and LPS groups and between both diets. Two and eight days after injection, serum lysozyme levels were elevated in both LPS and non-LPS groups. Respiratory burst was not affected by dietary AA and significantly higher in LPS groups over non-LPS groups; however, dietary AA may have enhanced the effects seen in the LPS injected fish fed the AA supplemented diet. There were no significant differences in renal l-gulono-1, 4-lactone oxidase (GLO) activity between dietary and LPS treatments, but fish exposed to LPS without dietary AA demonstrated an inter-organ transfer of AA from posterior kidney to liver. Our results indicate that dietary AA may be conditionally necessary for Siberian sturgeon to achieve optimal immune response, particularly in early developmental stages, information imperative to developing successful aquaculture programs for sturgeon species. 相似文献

Separate laboratory experiments were conducted to examine if incorporation of Zn into the otoliths of juvenile pink snapper (Pagrus auratus Forster) was related to levels in the food and/or water. In the first experiment, fish were fed a regular diet (600 mg Zn kg− 1 dw, control group) or a Zn-enriched diet (6000 mg Zn kg− 1 dw or 9000 mg Zn kg− 1 dw) for 35 days. In the second experiment, fish were exposed to waterborne Zn concentrations of < 0.005 µg L− 1 (control), 50 µg L− 1, 100 µg L− 1 and 200 µg L− 1 for 35 days. The sagittal otoliths were analysed using laser ablation inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (LA-ICP-MS). Juvenile fish exposed to higher concentrations of waterborne Zn did not display increased Zn levels in their otoliths. However, Zn levels in the otoliths of fish consuming the Zn-enriched diet were significantly higher relative to control fish. This study clearly demonstrated that dietary Zn was the major source of Zn incorporated into the otoliths by this marine fish. 相似文献

This study investigated the effects of cold stress on morphometrical and hematological biomarkers, energy metabolism, and oxidative stress in different tissues of P. mesopotamicus, and the protective role of β-carotene. Fish were fed with a control diet (CD) and the same diet supplemented with 105 mg/kg β-carotene (BD) for 60 days. After the feeding trial, fish fed CD or BD diets were exposed to control (24 °C) and low temperature (14 °C) for 24 h. Fish (CD and BD) exposed to thermal stress showed lower hepatosomatic index. The hemoglobin increased only in CD-fed fish exposed to 14 °C. Increased glycemia, plasmatic protein depletion, and decreased hepatic glycogen were observed in fish fed the CD, while only the lipid levels in liver were augmented in BD-fed fish exposed at 14 °C. Regarding the oxidative stress, increased antioxidant enzymes activity and lipid peroxidation were observed in CD-fed fish exposed to cold. The two-way ANOVA showed an interaction between dietary treatment and temperature for glucose and oxidative stress biomarkers, with the highest values recorded in 14 °C-exposed fish fed with the CD. Our study demonstrated that cold stress had the greatest impact on fish oxidative status, and β-carotene reduces harmful effects induced by cold in P. mesopotamicus. 相似文献

Summary. The premise that free amino acid or dipeptide based diets will resolve the nutritional inadequacy of formulated feeds for
larval and juvenile fish and improve utilization of nitrogen in comparison to protein-based diets was tested in stomachless
fish, common carp (Cyprinus carpio L.) larvae. We examined the postprandial whole body free amino acid (FAA) pool in fish that were offered a FAA mixture based
diet for the duration of 2 or 4 weeks. We found that the total amount and all indispensable amino acids concentrations in
the whole body decreased after a meal. We then fed juvenile carp with dietary amino acids provided in the FAA, dipeptide (PP),
or protein (live feed organisms; brine shrimp Artemia salina nauplii, AS) forms. Histidine concentrations in the whole fish body increased in all dietary groups after feeding whereas
all other indispensable amino acids decreased in FAA and PP groups in comparison to the AS group. Taurine appears to be the
major osmotic pressure balancing free amino acid in larval freshwater fish which may indicate a conditional requirement. We
present the first evidence in larval fish that in response to synthetic FAA and PP diets, the whole body indispensable free
AA concentrations decreased after feeding. This study shows that amino acids given entirely as FAA or PP cannot sustain stomachless
larval fish growth, and may result in depletion of body indispensable AA and most of dispensable AA. The understanding of
these responses will determine necessary changes in diet formulations that prevent accelerated excretion of amino acids without
protein synthesis. 相似文献

Triplicate groups of European sea bass (Dicentrarchus labrax L.), of initial mass 5 g, were fed one of three practical type diets for 64 weeks. The three diets differed only in the added oil and were 100% fish oil (FO; diet A), 40% FO/60% vegetable oil blend (VO; diet B) where the VO blend was rapeseed oil, linseed oil and palm oil in the ratio 10/35/15 by weight and 40% FO/60% VO blend (diet C) where the ratio was 24/24/12 by weight. After final sample collection the remaining fish were switched to a 100% FO finishing diet for a further 20 weeks. After 64 weeks fish fed 60% VO diet B had significantly lower live mass and liver mass than fish fed diets A and C although SGR, FCR and length were not different between groups. There were no differences in any of the above parameters after either 14 or 20 weeks on the FO finishing diet. Fatty acid compositions of flesh were correlated to dietary fatty acids although there was selective retention of docosahexaenoic acid (22:6n-3; DHA) regardless of dietary input. Inclusion of dietary VO resulted in significantly reduced flesh levels of DHA and eicosapentaenoic acid (20:5n-3; EPA) while 18:1n-9, 18:2n-6 and 18:3n-3 were all significantly increased in fish fed the 60% VO diets. Fatty acid compositions of liver showed broadly similar changes, as a result of dietary fatty acid composition, as was seen in flesh. However, the response of flesh and liver to feeding a FO finishing diet was different. In flesh, DHA and EPA values were not restored after 14 or 20 weeks of feeding a FO finishing diet with the values in fish fed the two 60% VO diets being around 70% of the values seen in fish fed FO throughout. Conversely, and despite liver DHA and EPA levels being reduced to only 40% of the value seen in fish fed 100% FO after 64 weeks, the levels of liver DHA and EPA were not significantly different between treatments after feeding the FO finishing diet for 14 weeks. However, a 200 g portion of sea bass flesh, after feeding the experimental diets for 64 weeks followed by a FO diet for 14 weeks, contained 1.22 and 0.95 g of EPA + DHA for fish fed FO or 60% VO, respectively. Therefore, sea bass grown for most of the production cycle using diets containing 60% VO can still contribute a significant quantity of healthy n-3 HUFA to the human consumer. 相似文献

Cardiac hypertrophy occurs in response to a variety of stresses as a compensatory mechanism to maintain cardiac output and normalize wall stress. Prevention or regression of cardiac hypertrophy can be a major therapeutic target. Although regression of cardiac hypertrophy occurs after control of etiological factors, the molecular mechanisms remain to be clarified. In the present study, we investigated the role of autophagy in regression of cardiac hypertrophy. Wild-type mice showed cardiac hypertrophy after continuous infusion of angiotensin II for 14 days using osmotic minipumps, and regression of cardiac hypertrophy was observed 7 days after removal of the minipumps. Autophagy was induced during regression of cardiac hypertrophy, as evidenced by an increase in microtubule-associated protein 1 light chain 3 (LC3)-II protein level. Then, we subjected cardiac-specific Atg5-deficient (CKO) and control mice (CTL) to angiotensin II infusion for 14 days. CKO and CTL developed cardiac hypertrophy to a similar degree without contractile dysfunction. Seven days after removal of the minipumps, CKO showed significantly less regression of cardiac hypertrophy compared with CTL. Regression of pressure overload-induced cardiac hypertrophy after unloading was also attenuated in CKO. These results suggest that autophagy is necessary for regression of cardiac hypertrophy during unloading of neurohumoral and hemodynamic stress. 相似文献

An interesting electrochemical sensor has been constructed by the electrodeposition of palladium nanoclusters (Pdnano) on poly(N-methylpyrrole) (PMPy) film-coated platinum (Pt) electrode. Cyclic voltammetry, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), and scanning electron microscopy were used to characterize the properties of the modified electrode. It was demonstrated that the electroactivity of the modified electrode depends strongly on the electrosynthesis conditions of the PMPy film and Pdnano. Moreover, the modified electrode exhibits strong electrocatalytic activity toward the oxidation of a mixture of dopamine (DA), ascorbic acid (AA), and uric acid (UA) with obvious reduction of overpotentials. The simultaneous analysis of this mixture at conventional (Pt, gold [Au], and glassy carbon) electrodes usually struggles. However, three well-resolved oxidation peaks for AA, DA, and UA with large peak separations allow this modified electrode to individually or simultaneously analyze AA, DA, and UA by using differential pulse voltammetry (DPV) with good stability, sensitivity, and selectivity. This sensor is also ideal for the simultaneous analysis of AA, UA and either of epinephrine (E), norepinephrine (NE) or l-DOPA. Additionally, the sensor shows strong electrocatalytic activity towards acetaminophen (ACOP) and other organic compounds. The calibration curves for AA, DA, and UA were obtained in the ranges of 0.05 to 1 mM, 0.1 to 10 μM, and 0.5 to 20 μM, respectively. The detection limits (signal/noise [S/N] = 3) were 7 μM, 12 nM, and 27 nM for AA, DA, and UA, respectively. The practical application of the modified electrode was demonstrated by measuring the concentrations of AA, DA, and UA in injection sample, human serum, and human urine samples, respectively, with satisfactory results. The reliability and stability of the modified electrode gave a good possibility for applying the technique to routine analysis of AA, DA, and UA in clinical tests. 相似文献

This study was conducted to estimate dietary threshold levels for crude protein (CP) and amino acids (AA) at which apparent ileal digestibilities (AID) of CP and AA in assay diets for newly weaned pigs reach plateaus. A total of 14 (12 + 2 for replacement) three-week old barrows were fitted with simple T cannulas at the distal ileum. Corn starch-based diets containing six graded levels of CP from casein, 90, 155, 220, 285, 350, or 415 g CP/kg assay diet (as-fed), were formulated. At 28 days of age, the pigs were randomly allocated to the six dietary treatments with two pigs per CP level in four weekly repeated measurement periods. They were fed twice daily a total of 30 g (as-fed) per kg of individual body weight at 8:00 and 20:00 h. The dietary CP and AA levels affected AID of CP and most AA (p = 0.005 to p = 0.040) in the assay diets. The AID of CP and AA were higher at 155 and 220 compared to 90 g CP/kg assay diet (p < 0.001 to p = 0.047). Initially, the AID of CP and AA increased sharply then gradually reached, at individual break points (p < 0.001 to p = 0.047), their plateaus (p < 0.001), which did not change up to dietary CP levels of 415 g/kg assay diet and the AID values became independent of the dietary AA levels. The piglets' capacity to digest CP and absorb AA was not limiting under these experimental conditions. There was no effect of age on AID of CP and AA (p = 0.056 to p = 0.899) except for a linear increase (p = 0.045) in AID of glycine from Period 1 to 4. Segmented quadratic with plateau relationships between the AID of CP and AA and their dietary contents were fitted for CP and each AA. The lower end points of 95% confidence intervals of the plateau AID values were defined to represent the initial plateau AID. The dietary CP and AA contents, corresponding to the initial plateau AID values, represent the dietary threshold levels. For CP and the indispensable amino acids, the plateau AID [%] and the dietary threshold levels [g/kg DM], respectively, in casein were: CP, 94.2 and 176; arginine, 95.1 and 7; histidine, 96.0 and 5; isoleucine, 96.4 and 8; leucine, 96.8 and 16; lysine, 96.8 and 12; methionine, 97.9 and 5; phenylalanine, 96.2 and 10; threonine, 93.4 and 9; tryptophan, 94.3 and 2; valine, 95.9 and 11. For the determination of plateau AID in piglets, the crude protein and amino acid contents in the assay diets should meet or exceed the corresponding dietary threshold levels. 相似文献

An 8‐week feeding trial was designed to evaluate the potential of yellow mealworm (Tenebrio molitor) as a locally available nutrient‐rich feedstuff for juvenile rockfish (Sebastes schlegeli). Experimental diets containing elevated levels of mealworm meal (WM) supplemented with synthetic methionine were formulated to be isonitrogenous, isolipidic and isoenergetic to a WM‐free fishmeal (FM) based control diet (designated as WM0, WM8, WM16, WM24 and WM32, respectively). To determine the necessity of dietary methionine supplementation at the highest inclusion of WM, a diet was prepared to contain 32% WM without methionine supplementation (WM32‐AA). Triplicate groups of rockfish juveniles (Mean ± S.E.; 3.11 ± 0.01 g) were fed one of the experimental diets to apparent satiation twice daily for 8 weeks. Fish growth performance in terms of weight gain and specific growth rate increased with increasing dietary inclusion of WM from 0 to 16% and then tended to decrease with further increase in dietary WM levels to 32%. Protein retention (PR) values followed the same trend as growth rates with the highest values found in fish offered WM16 diet. Although fish fed WM32‐AA diet showed significantly lower growth rate and PR values compared to those fed WM16 diet, their performance was still comparable to that of the WM‐free control group. Plasma triglyceride level was negatively affected by dietary WM inclusion and the lowest values were observed in the WM32‐AA group. Whole‐body and fillet proximate and essential amino acid compositions were not altered by dietary treatment and these values were comparable to those of the WM0 group. These findings suggested that WM might prove to be a promising alternative to FM in practical diets for juvenile rockfish and could be used at an inclusion level of up to 32% without having any adverse consequences for the health and performance of the fish. Although the diet containing 32% WM seemed to support a performance similar to that of the control diet, the recommended dietary inclusion level was no more than 16% of the diet dry matter. 相似文献
