Project description:The hypothesis was tested that insect meal (IM) as protein source influences intermediary metabolism of growing pigs. To test this, 5-week-old crossbreed pigs were randomly assigned to 3 groups of 10 pigs each with similar body weights (BW) and fed isonitrogenous diets either without (CON) or with 5 % IM (IM5) or 10 % IM (IM10) from Tenebrio molitor L. for 4 weeks and skeletal muscle was analyzed using transcriptomics. Transcriptomics of skeletal muscle revealed a total of 198 transcripts differentially expressed between IM10 and CON.

Project description:Background: The age-related loss of muscle mass significantly contributes to the development of chronic diseases, loss of mobility and dependency on others, yet could be improved by an optimized lifestyle. Objective: The goal of this randomized controlled trial was to compare the influence of a habitual diet (CON) with either a diet containing the recommended protein intake (RP) or a high protein intake (HP), both with and without strength training, on the plasma proteome in older adults. Methods: 136 women and men (65-85 years) were randomly assigned to three intervention groups. CON continued their habitual diet; participants of the HP and RP group consumed either high protein or standard foods. After 6 weeks of dietary intervention, HP and RP groups additionally started a strength training intervention twice per week for 8 weeks. 24h dietary recalls were performed every 7 to 10 days. Body composition was assessed and blood taken. Plasma proteomics were assessed with LC-MS. Results: Participants of the HP group doubled their baseline protein intake from 0.80±0.31 g/kg BW/d to 1.63±0.36 g/kg BW/d; RP increased the protein intake from 0.89±0.28 g/kg BW/d to 1.06±0.26 g/kg BW/d. The CON group kept the protein intake stable throughout the study. Combined exercise and HP initiated notable changes, resulting in a reduction in bodyfat and increased muscle mass. Proteomics analyses revealed 14 significantly affected proteins by HP diet, regulating innate immune system, lipid transport and blood coagulation, yet the additional strength training did not elicit further changes. Conclusions: Combined HP and resistance exercise in healthy older adults seem to induce favorable changes in the body composition. Changes in the plasma proteome due to the high protein diet point to a beneficial impact for the innate immune system, lipid transport and blood coagulation system, all of which are involved in chronic disease development.

Project description:Administration of pivalate has been demonstrated to be suitable for induction of secondary car-nitine deficiency (CD) in pigs, as model objects for humans. In order to comprehensively charac-terize the metabolic effects of secondary CD in the liver of pigs, the present study aimed to carry out comparative analysis of hepatic transcriptome and plasma metabolome of a total of 12, male 5-weeks-old pigs administered either pivalate (group PIV, n = 6) or vehicle (group CON, n = 6) for 28 days. Pigs of group PIV had approximately 40-60% lower concentrations of free carnitine and acetylcarnitine in plasma, liver and different skeletal muscles than pigs of group CON (p < 0.05). Transcript profiling of the liver revealed 140 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) between group PIV and group CON (fold change > 1.2 or < −1.2, p-value < 0.05). Biological process terms dealing with the innate immune response were found to be enriched with the DEGs (p < 0.05). Using a targeted metabolomics approach for the simultaneous quantification of 630 metabolites, 13 me-tabolites were identified to be lower and 5 metabolites to be higher in group PIV than in group CON (p < 0.05). Despite pivalate-induced CD caused only weak alterations of the hepatic tran-scriptome and the plasma metabolome, the changes observed indicate that secondary CD modu-lates the innate immune response of pigs.

Project description:The Keap1/Nrf2 signaling pathway is a tractable target for the pharmacological prevention of tumorigenesis. 3H-1,2-dithiole-3-thione (D3T) and 1-[2-cyano-3,12-dioxooleana-1,9(11)-dien-28-oyl]imidazole (CDDO-Im) are representative members of two classes of Nrf2-activating chemopreventive agents. Natural dithiolethiones have been widely used in clinical trials for cancer chemoprevention. Synthetic triterpenoids, however, have been shown to be significantly more potent Nrf2 activators and are under clinical evaluation for the treatment of chronic kidney disease. This study seeks to characterize the structure-activity relationship between D3T and CDDO-Im in mouse liver tissue. To this end we treated Wt and Nrf2-null mice with 300 umol/kg bw D3T and 3, 10, and 30 umol/kg bw CDDO-Im every other day for 5 days and evaulated global gene expression changes as a product of both treamtent and genotype using Affymetrix microarray.

Project description:The mesenteric lymph nodes represent the immune response to eggs in schistosome infections,and the analysis of gene expression profiles of the mesenteric lymph nodes from the Vac-Cha (vaccinated with UV attenuated cercariae and challenged with normal cercariae)and Inf-Con (infected with normal cercariae) groups. We used microarrays to detail the global programme of gene expression and identified distinct classes of up-regulated and down-regulated genes. The mesenteric lymph nodes surrounding the cecum from the Vac-Cha and Inf-Con groups were collected at week 8 post challenge and used to analyze the gene profile with Affymetrix microarrays. We sought to obtain the different genes expression profiles between the Vac-Cha group and Inf-Con group.The Vac-Cha group is three pigs vaccinated with UV attenuated Schistosoma japonicum cercariae and challenged with normal Schistosoma japonicum cercariae, and the Inf-Con group is three pigs infected with normal cercariae. Samples pooled per group. A list of differentially-regulated genes can be found in the supplementary file below.

Project description:Testosterone deficiency causes fat deposit, particularly in the visceral region, and its replacement might reverse fat accumulation, but the underlying mechanisms of such processes are largely unclear. To gain insights into the genome-wide role of testosterone on visceral adipose tissue (VAT), RNA-Seq was used to investigate testosterone deficiency induced changes of VAT in miniature pigs fed a high-fat and high-cholesterol (HFC) diet among intact male pigs (IM), castrated male pigs (CM), and castrated male pigs with testosterone replacement (CMT) treatments. The results showed that testosterone deficiency induced VAT deposit and increased serum leptin level. Moreover, a total of 1,732 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were identified between different two groups. Compared with gene expression profiles in IM and CMT pigs, upregulated genes in CM pigs, i.e., LOC100520753 (CD68), LCN2, EMR1, NCF1 (p47phox), and NOX2 (GP91-PHOX), were mainly enriched in inflammatory response, oxidation-reduction process, and response to oxidative stress, while downregulated genes in CM pigs, i.e., DIO3, PCK1, and ABHD5, mainly focused on small molecule metabolic process. Taken together, our study provides a novel genome-wide view on the role of testosterone on VAT deposit under HFC diet, thus improving our understanding of the molecular mechanisms involved in VAT changes induced by testosterone deficiency.

Project description:Despite the existence of a number of studies investigating the effect of insect meal on the growth performance of broilers, knowledge about the metabolic effects of insect meal in broilers is still scarce. Thus, the present study investigated the effect of partial replacement of soybean meal with Hermetia illucens (HI) larvae meal on the liver transcriptome, the plasma metabolome and the cecal microbiome in broilers. For the study, 72 male one-day-old Cobb 500 broilers were divided into three groups (n = 12) and fed three different diets with either 0% (HI0), 7.5% (HI7.5) or 15% (HI15) defatted HI meal for 35 d. While body weight (BW) gain, feed intake, and feed:gain ratio did not differ between groups, breast muscle weight, carcass yield and apparent ileal digestibility (AID) of 12 amino acids were higher in group HI15 than in group HI0 (P > 0.05). Indicators of α-diversity (Chao1 and Observed) in the cecal digesta were higher in groups HI15 and HI7.5 than in group HI0 (P < 0.05). The abundance of 5 families and 18 genera, all of which belonged to the Firmicutes phylum, in the cecal digesta differed among groups (P < 0.05). Concentrations of butyric acid, valeric acid and isobutyric acid in the cecal digesta were lower in group HI15 than in the other two groups (P > 0.05), whereas those of total and other short-chain fatty acids were not different between groups. Liver transcriptomics revealed a total of 70 and 61 differentially expressed transcripts between groups HI15 vs. HI0 and between groups HI7.5 vs HI0, respectively, (P > 0.05). Targeted metabolomics identified 138 metabolites, most of which were triglyceride species, being different between the three groups (FDR < 0.05). According to this study, dietary inclusion of HI larvae meal has no detrimental impact but increases breast muscle weight and carcass weight in broilers suggesting that HI larvae meal can be recommended as a sustainable alternative protein source for broilers.

Project description:Insects are abundant in the predominantly sub-Saharan Africa region and are generally high in protein. Wheat grain contains gluten that is vital for the quality of baked goods but does not grow well in warm regions. Partial substitution of wheat with sorghum and insect in biscuits could contribute to food security among vulnerable populations. This study identified insect types most commonly consumed by the rural Olugboja community living in the rural part of the Ikare-Akoko local government area of Ondo State, Nigeria and consumer acceptance of biscuits supplemented with a sorghum and insect meal. Whole grain sorghum meal and insect meal were blended at a ratio of 3:1 (w/w sorghum: insect). Composite biscuits were made by partially substituting wheat flour with the sorghum-insect meal at 20%, 40%, and 60% (w/w). Wheat biscuit (100%) was used as a control. Regular consumers of biscuits (n = 84) evaluated the acceptability of the biscuit samples using a five-point facial hedonic scale, which was followed by focus group discussions (FGDs) to assess consumer perceptions of the use of insect as a food source. Biscuits containing the sorghum-insect meal (mean = 4.0 ± 0.6) were more acceptable than the control (3.58 ± 0.6). The biscuits supplemented with 20% of the sorghum-insect meal were the most acceptable (mean = 4.23 ± 0.6) compared to those with higher concentrations (40% and 60%). FGDs revealed that the taste of the biscuits was an important motivation for consumers to accept insect as a food source.

Project description:<p>The objective of this study was to reveal the effects of early life lactoferrin intervention on the liver metabolism in the suckling piglets. Sixty newborn piglets with an average initial body weight (BW) of 1.51 ± 0.05 kg were assigned to the control (CON) group and the lactoferrin (LF) group. Piglets in the LF group were orally administered LF solution (0.5 g/kg BW per day) from 1 to 7 days of age, and the piglets in the CON group were orally administrated with the same dose of physiological saline. Plasma, jejunum and liver samples were collected on day 8 and 21. The LF piglets had a decreased level of plasma urea nitrogen on day 8 and an increased level of plasma albumin on day 21. Pathway analysis of metabolomic profiles showed that LF treatment affected amino acid metabolism in the liver of piglets. Additionally, LF treatment upregulated the gene expression of proteolytic enzyme and amino acid transporters (APA, aminopeptidases A; APN, aminopeptidases N; EAAC 1, excitatory amino acid carrier 1; Pept 1, peptide transporter 1) in the jejunum, and enhanced phosphorylation levels of mTOR and p70S6K in the liver. Moreover, LF treatment upregulated the expression of β oxidation related gene (CPT 1, carnitine palmitoyl transferase-1) and affected tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle in the liver on day 21. Furthermore, LF piglets had a lower level of MDA and a higher level of GSH and GSH-px in the liver mitochondria. Overall, the early life LF intervention affected protein synthesis, energy production and antioxidative capacity in the liver of neonatal piglets.</p>
