Abstract
In the present study, we investigated the influence of dietary protein restriction stress on adrenal steroidogenic function of the domestic turkey. Immature male turkeys (2 weeks old) were fed isocaloric synthetic diets containing either 28% (control) or 8% (restriction) soy protein for 4 weeks. Trunk plasma was processed for the determination of adrenocorticotropin (ACTH), corticosterone, aldosterone, and total 3, 5, 3'-triiodothyronine (T3). In addition, adrenal glands were processed for the isolation of defined, density-separable, adrenal steroidogenic cell subpopulations: three low-density adrenal steroidogenic cell subpopulations [LDAC-1 (rho = 1.0350-1.0490 g/ml). LDAC-2 (rho = 1.0490-1.0570 g/ml), and LDAC 3 (rho = 1.0370-1.0585 g/ml)] and a high-density subpopulation [HDAC (rho = 1.0590-1.0720 g/ml)], and the steroidogenic function of these cell subpopulations was evaluated. Protein restriction did not influence plasma ACTH However, it increased relative adrenal weight (mg/100 g body wt) (+37.8%) and plasma corticosterone (+317%). By contrast, it depressed plasma aldosterone (-51.2%). In addition, it caused a modest depression in plasma T3 (-25.9%). At the cellular level, protein restriction induced panhypofunction.
