Substitution of Dietary Sulfur Amino Acids by dl-2-Hydroxy-4-Methylthiobutyric Acid Reduces Fractional Glutathione Synthesis in Weaned Piglets.


ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND:Cys is limiting for reduced glutathione (GSH) synthesis and can be synthesized from Met. We hypothesized that the dietary Met hydroxyl analogue dl-2-hydroxy-4-methylthiobutyric acid (dl-HMTBA) affects Cys and GSH metabolism and oxidative stress defense differently than Met. OBJECTIVE:The objective was to elucidate whether dl-HMTBA supplementation of a Met-deficient diet affects Cys flux, GSH fractional synthetic rate (FSR), and the basal oxidative stress level relative to Met supplementation in pigs. METHODS:Twenty-nine male German Landrace piglets aged 28 d were allocated to 3 dietary groups: a basal diet limiting in Met (69% of Met plus Cys requirement) supplemented with either 0.15% l-Met (LMET; n = 9), 0.15% dl-Met (DLMET; n = 11), or 0.17% dl-HMTBA (DLHMTBA; n = 9) on an equimolar basis. At age 54 d the pigs received a continuous infusion of [1-13C]-Cys to calculate Cys flux and Cys oxidation. After 3 d, GSH FSR was determined by [2,2-2H2]-glycine infusion, and RBC GSH and oxidized GSH concentrations were measured. At age 62 d the animals were killed to determine hepatic mRNA abundances of enzymes involved in GSH metabolism, GSH concentrations, and plasma oxidative stress defense markers. RESULTS:The Cys oxidation was 21-39% and Cys flux 5-15% higher in the fed relative to the feed-deprived state (P < 0.001). On average, GSH FSR was 49% lower (P < 0.01), and RBC GSH and total GSH concentrations were 12% and 9% lower, respectively, in DLHMTBA and DLMET relative to LMET pigs (P < 0.05). In the feed-deprived state, Gly flux, the GSH:oxidized glutathione (GSSG) ratio, RBC GSSG concentrations, plasma oxidative stress markers, and the hepatic GSH content did not differ between groups. CONCLUSIONS:Although GSH FSR was higher in LMET compared with DLMET or DLHMTBA feed-deprived pigs, these differences were not reflected by lower oxidative stress markers and antioxidant defense enzymes in LMET pigs.
