Effect of age and dietary fat level on fatty acid oxidation in the neonatal pig

The Journal of Nutrition
R G WolfeE C Nelson

Abstract

A total of 35 pigs were obtained by cesarean section, placed in individual sterile isolators, and randomly allotted to treatment groups. Thirty pigs received purified, isoenergetic liquid diets containing 2 or 32% butterfat (dry matter basis) and were killed at 1, 7, or 21 days of age. Five pigs were killed at 2 hours post delivery and received no diet. Twenty-one-day old pigs showed a tendency for higher weight gain and feed consumption when consuming the 32% fat diet although the differences were not significant. The rate of oxidation of [U-14C]palmitate to CO2 and acid soluble products was measured in homogenates of liver, kidney, heart, and leg muscle (biceps femoris) from pigs 0, 1, 7, and 21 days of age. The relative rates of oxidation of [U-14C]myristate, [U-14C]palmitate, and [U-14C]stearate were measured in homogenates of liver from 7-day old pigs. Palmitate oxidation was stimulated by carnitine in all four tissues and the rate of carnitine-stimulated palmitate oxidation to acid soluble products in heart and to CO2 in liver was higher in tissues from pigs consuming the 32% fat diet. The rate of palmitate oxidation increased with age in liver, kidney and leg muscle tissues and was maximum at 21 days in kidney and leg mu...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
