Abstract

To investigate effects of dietary nitrogen level on nutrient absorption and utilization in small intestinal enterocyte of piglets, weaned piglets were fed for 10 days with diets containing 20%, 17%, or 14% crude protein (CP) with supplementation to meet requirements for essential amino acids in vivo, and IPEC-1 cells were cultured with different nitrogen levels (NL) in a culture medium (70%, 85%, and 100%) in vitro by monocultured and cocultured intestinal porcine epithelial cells (IPEC-1) and human gastric epithelial cells (GES-1). The results showed the following: (1) In animal trial, decreased dietary CP reduced transcript abundance of nutrient transporters like CAT1, PepT1, GLUT2, and SGLT-1 in jejunal mucosa (0.09 ± 0.03, P < 0.0001; 0.40 ± 0.04, P = 0.0087; 0.20 ± 0.07, P = 0.0003; 0.35 ± 0.02, P = 0.0001), but 17% CP diet did not affect jejunal protein synthesis. (2) The transcript abundance of nutrient transporters displayed similarly effective tendency in jejunal mucosa and cocultured IPEC-1 rather than that in monocultured IPEC-1. (3) Decreased nitrogen levels reduced expressive abundance of PI3K, Class 3 PI3K, TSC2, and 4E-BP1 in monocultured IPEC-1, but 85% nitrogen level did not affect expressive abundance of PI3K,...Continue Reading

Birth Defects

Birth defects encompass structural and functional alterations that occur during embryonic or fetal development and are present since birth. The cause may be genetic, environmental or unknown and can result in physical and/or mental impairment. Here is the latest research on birth defects.
