<P>Potassium depletion (K?-D) induces hypertrophy and hyperplasia of collecting duct cells, and potassium repletion (K?-R) induces regression of these changes. The purpose of this study was to examine the time courses of the changes in cellular composition, the origin of intercalated cells (ICs) and the mechanism responsible for these changes. SD rats received K?-depleted diets for 1, 7, or 14 days. After K?-D for 14 days some of the rats received normal diets for 1, 3, 5, or 7 days. In the inner stripe of the outer medulla, K?-D increased significantly the number and proportion of H?-ATPase-positive ICs, but decreased the proportion of H?-ATPase-negative principal cells (PCs). However, proliferation was limited to H?-ATPase-negative PCs. During K?-R, the cellular composition was recovered to control level. Apoptosis increased during K?-R and exclusively limited in H?-ATPase-negative PCs. Double immunolabeling with antibodies to PC and IC markers identified both cells negative or positive for all markers during both K?-D and K?-R. Electron microscopic observation showed that ultrastructure of AE1-positive some cells were similar to AE1-negative some cells during K?-R. LC3 protein expression increased significantly and autophagic vacuoles appeared particularly in PCs on days 14 of K?-D and in ICs on days 3 of K?-R. These results suggest that PCs and ICs may interconvert in response to changes in dietary K+ availability and that autophagic pathways may be involved in the interconversion.</P>

Biochemical polymorphisms of five red cell and semen proteins, Hemoglobin(Hb), Transferrin(Tf), Post-transferrin 2(Ptf2), Post-albumin(Pa) and Albumin(Alb) as genetic markers in Korean cattle were analyzed by Starch and Polyacryamide gel electrophoresis and their phenotypes, genotypes and gene frequencies were estimated in order to analysis the genetic constitution of Korean native cattle population. In the Hemoglobin(Hb) locus four different phenotypes AA, AB, BB and CH were observed and assumed to be controlled by four different alleles designated Hb^A, Hb^B, Hb^C and Hb^H, and the Hb^H type was rare variant of Korean native cattle. The observed distribution of phenotypes were 73.37% for AA type, 23.37% for AB type. 2.72% for BB type and 0.54%r for CH type. Gene frequencies of Hb^A, Hb^B, Hb^C and Hb^H were 0.8505, 0.1440, 0.0027 and 0.0027. Semen Transfetrin(Tf) locus, 11 different phenotypes AA, AD₁, AD₂, AE, AH, D₁D₁, D₁D₂, D₁E, D₂H, D₂D₂, D₂E, EE and EH type were identified, which considered to be controlled by codominant alleles TF,^A Tf^D, Tf^D, Tf^E and Tf^H at a single locus. The frequencies of Tf genotypes AD₁, D₁E, D₁D₂, D₂E, AA, AE, D₁D₂, AD₂, D₁D₁, EE, AH, D₂H and EH were found to be 16.30, 13.33, 11.85, 10.37, 9.69, 8.15, 7.41, 9.63, 5.93, 4.44, 1.48, 0.74 and 0.01%, respectively. Gene frequencies of TF^A, Tf^(D1) Tf^(D2) and Tf^H were 0.2741, 0.2704, 0,2333, 0.2074 and 0.0148, respectively. And TfH gene were newly identified in Korean native cattle. Considering Post-transterrin 2 locus, three different phenotypess FF, FS and SS were identified, which considers to he controlled by two alleles Ptf^F and Ptf^S at a single autosomal locus. The frequencies of Rf genotypes FS, FF and SS were found to be 51.06. 36.88 and 12.06%n, respectively and gene frequencies of Ptf^F and Ptf^S were 0.6241 and 0.3759. In the Postalbumin(Pa) locus, three different phenotypes FF, FS and SS type were observed to be genetically controllled by Pa^F and Pa^S gene. And genotypes frequencies FS. FF amd SS type were 48.65, 36.(H and 1_5.32%, respectively. The gene frequencies of Pa^F and Pa^S were 0.6036 and 0.3964. The Albumin(Alb) locus were observed to lack any individual variation. Therefore, this locus were defined to be monomorphic. In comparison of genetic distance and dendogram calculated from the gene frequencies, close relationship was obtained between the Japanese cattle and the Korean cattle.

Chung, H.J.,Kim, K.W.,Han, D.W.,Lee, H.C.,Yang, B.C.,Chung, H.K.,Shim, M.R.,Choi, M.S.,Jo, E.B.,Jo, Y.M.,Oh, M.Y.,Jo, S.J.,Hong, S.K.,Park, J.K.,Chang, W.K. Asian Australasian Association of Animal Productio 2012 Animal Bioscience Vol.25 No.11

Steroidogenesis requires coordination of the anabolic and catabolic pathways of lipid metabolism, but the profile of proteins associated with progesterone synthesis in cyclic and pregnant corpus luteum (CL) is not well-known in cattle. In Experiment 1, plasma progesterone level was monitored in cyclic cows (n = 5) and pregnant cows (n = 6; until d-90). A significant decline in the plasma progesterone level occurred at d-19 of cyclic cows. Progesterone level in abbatoir-derived luteal tissues was also determined at d 1 to 5, 6 to 13 and 14 to 20 of cyclic cows, and d-60 and -90 of pregnant cows (n = 5 each). Progesterone level in d-60 CL was not different from those in d 6 to 13 CL and d-90 CL, although the difference between d 6 to 13 and d-90 was significant. In Experiment 2, protein expression pattern in CL at d-90 (n = 4) was compared with that in CL of cyclic cows at d 6 to 13 (n = 5). Significant changes in the level of protein expression were detected in 32 protein spots by two-dimensional polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (2-DE), and 23 of them were identified by matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF-MS). Six proteins were found only in pregnant CL, while the other 17 proteins were found only in cyclic CL. Among the above 6 proteins, vimentin which is involved in the regulation of post-implantation development was included. Thus, the protein expression pattern in CL was disorientated from cyclic luteal phase to mid pregnancy, and alterations in specific CL protein expression may contribute to the maintenance of pregnancy in Korean native cows.

한인규,김홍대,하종규,김완영,Yanglian, Feng 한국영양사료학회 1999 韓國營養飼料學會誌 Vol.23 No.5

본 연구는 저질 조사료의 에너지 가치 및 이용성을 평가하기 위해서 평균체중이 400㎏인 비육중인 Holstein 수소 4두를 공시하여 수행하였다. 공시동물은 각각 호흡대사실에서 4가지 사료를 4×4 Latin square 방법으로 공급받았다. 대조구는 농후사료(50%)와 Chinese wildrye hay(50%) 사료를 사용하였으며, 처리구는 저질 조사료구로서 무처리 볏짚(100%). 요소처리 볏짚(100%) 및 Chinese wildrye 건초(100%) 등 3가지 사료를 이용하였다. 처리구간의 에너지소화율에 있어서는 유의적 차이가 나타나지 알았지만, 대조구는 처리구에 비하여 에너지소화율이 유의적으로 높게 나타났다(P<0.05). Chinese wildrye 건초만을 에너지 섭취수준을 달리하여 급여한 결과, 에너지섭취가 증가할수록 에너지소화율은 감소하였다. 또한 같은 시험에서, 조사료 입자가 감소할수록 에너지소화율이 증가하는 경향을 보였다. 메탄과 뇨를 통한 에너지 손실에 있어서 처리구 및 대조구간에 차이는 없었지만, 사료중의 NDF가 증가할수록 메탄생성이 증가하였다. 요소처리 볏짚과 Chinese wildrye 건초 처리구간에 K_m과 K_f 모두 비슷하였으며, 대조구의 K_f가 가장 높게 나타났다. 단백질과 지방의 체내축적은 대조구, Chinese wildrye 건초구, 요소처리 볏짚구 및 무처리 볏짚구 순으로 높았다(P<0.05). 본 연구 결과는 화학처리 볏짚이 에너지소화율과 이용성에 면에서 무처리 볏짚보다 우수하게 나타났으며, 특히 값비싼 Chinese wildrye 건초를 에너지 이용성 면에서 값싼 화학처리 볏짚으로 대체할 수 있는 가능성을 보였다. Four steers weighing average of around 400㎏ were used in a 4 × 4 Latin square design to study energy values of low quality roughages. The energy digestibilities of rice straw, treated rice straw, and Chinese wildrye hay were not significantly different. However, the digestibility of control diet (concentrate + Chinese wildrye hay) was significantly higher (P<0.05) than those of low-quality roughages. The energy digestibility of rice straw was not improved due to the treatment of urea-Ca(OH)₂. The result showed N digestibility tended to be higher in the steer fed treated rice straw. When effects of particle sizes of low quality roughage, Chinese wildrye hay, on energy digestibility were determined, there were no significant differences in GE intakes among the treatments of four particle sizes of the hay. Results also showed that energy digestibility tended to slightly increase as the particle size reduced. Methane production in relation to DE was the highest in the treatment of untreated rice straw, and the lowest with control diet. However, there were no significant differences among four feeding treatments. Urine excretion showed similar trends with methane production. Total energy loss via methane and urine against DE were 12.26, 22.93, 16.35, and 14.88 % in control diet, untreated rice straw, treated rice straw, and Chinese wildrye hay, respectively. The efficiency of utilization of DE was not significantly different among the treatments, but untreated rice straw showed the lowest efficiency. The results also showed that K_m, among untreated rice straw, treated rice straw, and wildrye hay were similar. These data also showed that both the K_m, and K_f from treated rice straw and Chinese wildrye hay were remarkably similar. This similarity clearly showed that treated rice straw had no effect on the efficiency of ME utilization for either K_m and K_f in fattening steers. The K_f of control diet was the highest among the treatment. With regard to body deposition of protein and fat, the results showed the higher values in the order of control diet, Chinese wildrye hay, treated rice straw, and rice straw. Based on these observations, this study regarding energy utilization clearly shows that a portion of expensive forages in the diet could be replaced with low-quality roughages such as treated rice straw.

Effect of Different Spray Dried Plasmas on Growth, Ileal Digestibility, Nutrient Deposition, Immunity and Health of Early-Weaned Pigs Challenged with E. coli K88

Bosi, P.,Han, In K.,Jung, H.J.,Heo, K.N.,Perini, S.,Castellazzi, A.M.,Casini, L.,Creston, D.,Gremokolini, C. Asian Australasian Association of Animal Productio 2001 Animal Bioscience Vol.14 No.8

A total of 96 piglets were weaned at 19 and 13 days in Exp. 1 and 2, respectively, and allotted to one of four diets: three with different spray dried plasmas (SPs) and one with hydrolysed casein (HC). SPs were from pigs (SPP), mixed origin (SMP), and mixed origin with standardized level of immunoglobulins (SMPIG). All the diets contained 1.7% total lysine, 25% of the test protein source, 45% corn starch, 15% lactose, 2% sucrose, 7% soybean oil. At d 4 and d 2 in Exp. 1 and 2, respectively, piglets were perorally challenged with $10^{10}$ CFU E. coli K88. Growth performance, immunity, and health condition were measured for 15 days and 14 days in Exp. 1 and 2, respectively. To investigate apparent ileal digestibility and nutrient deposition, all piglets were sacrificed at d 14 in Exp. 2. In 1. 3 piglets died in HC diet and 1 in SPP diet. HC diet showed higher mortality (p<0.01) than other diets. In Exp. 2, no clinical sign of infection was detected, no difference for the content of E. coli K88 was found in feces at 4 and 6 days after the infection, and no E. coli K88 was found in the jejunum at the end of experiment. In both experiments, feed intake was lower for HC diet and ADG was 96, 106, 122 and 155 for HC, SPP, SMP and SMPIG diet, respectively (HC vs others, p<0.05; SMPIG vs other SP, p<0.01). Heal apparent digestibility of nitrogen in sacrificed piglets was higher for HC diet (p<0.05). After the challenge, K88-specific titers in saliva (Exp. 1) and in plasma (Exp. 2) were reduced in SMP and SMPIG. The piglets positive to the adhesion of the used E. coli strain to the intestinal brush borders had a significantly reduced growth (p<0.01) and a higher K88-specific IgA titer in plasma, in comparison with negative ones. This effect was independent of the diet. The data show the relevance of spray dried plasma sources and particularly of SP with standardized level of immunoglobulins for the feeding of early-weaned at the risk of infection by enterotoxigenic bacteria.

Recent Advances in Amino Acid and Energy Nutrition of Prolific Sows - Review -

Boyd, R.D.,Touchette, K.J.,Castro, G.C.,Johnston, M.E.,Lee, K.U.,Han, In K. Asian Australasian Association of Animal Productio 2000 Animal Bioscience Vol.13 No.11

Prolific females require better nutrition and feeding practice because of larger litter size and the substantial decline in body fat. Life-time pig output will be compromised if body protein and fat are not properly managed. First litter females are especially vulnerable because they can loose ${\geq}15%$ of whole-body protein. Conservation of body protein mass during first lactation minimizes wean to estrus interval and increases second litter size (up to 1.2 pigs). The ability to influence litter-size by amino acid nutrition is a new dimension in our understanding. A P2 fat depth below 12 mm at farrow and below 10 mm at wean compromised wean to estrus interval (>2 d) and next litter size (0.5 to 1.5 pigs) in sows. It is now clear that a 'modest' excess of feed during the first 72 h of pregnancy decreases embryo viability so that the potential for an increased litter size at birth is not realized. The capacity for milk production by prolific young sows is 25% higher than the standard used previously (NRC, 1988). First litter females averaged 9.82 kg milk/d for a 21 d lactation. Second and third litter counterparts averaged 10.35 kg/d. Milk production was 95% of peak by 10 d of lactation and sows were in greatest negative energy and lysine balance during the first 6 d. Nearly 45% of the total loss in body protein occurred within the first 6 d, but this could reduced to 30-35% by using a more aggressive feeding strategy after parturition. There appear to be 2 phases in lactation for lysine need (d 2-12 vs 12-21). Feeding to the higher level alleviates the second litter size decline. The lysine requirement for lactation can be predicted with accuracy, but we are not able to predict the second limiting amino acid. Mammary uptake of valine relative to lysine and recent work with practical diets suggest that the recent NRC (1998) pattern is realistic and that threonine and valine could be co-limiting for corn-soy diets for prolific sows nursing 10-11 pigs. Empirical studies are needed to refine the ideal pattern so that synthetic lysine can be used with more confidence. Milk fat output for the elite sow is extraordinary and poses an unnecessarily high energetic cost. Methods that reduce mammary fat synthesis will benefit the sow and may enhance piglet growth.

Keratinocyte growth factor and thiazolidinediones and linolenic acid differentiate characterized mammary fat pad adipose stem cells isolated from prepubertal Korean black goat to epithelial and adipogenic lineage

Reza, A. M.,Shiwani, S.,Singh, N. K.,Lohakare, J. D.,Lee, S. J.,Jeong, D. K.,Han, J. Y.,Rengaraj, D.,Lee, B. W. Springer Science + Business Media 2014 In vitro cellular & developmental biology Animal Vol.50 No.3

The study was conducted to know and investigate the mechanism involved during mesenchymal to epithelial transition to unravel questions related to mammary gland development in prepubertal Korean black goat. We, therefore, biopsied mammary fat pad and isolated adipose cells and characterized with stemness factors (CD34, CD13, CD44, CD106, and vimentin) immunologically and through their genetic expression. Furthermore, characterized cells were differentiated to adipogenic (thiazolidinediones and alpha-linolenic acid) and epithelial (keratinocyte growth factor) lineages. Thiazolidinediones/or in combination with alpha-linolenic acid demonstrated significant upregulation of adipo-Q, PPAR-gamma, CEBP-alpha, LPL, and resistin. Adipose stem cells in induction mixture (5 mu g/ml insulin, 1 mu g/ml hydrocortisone, and 10 ng/ml epidermal growth factor) and subsequent treatment with 10 ng/ml keratinocyte growth factor revealed their trans-differentiating ability to epithelial lineage. From 2 d onwards, the cells under keratinocyte growth factor influenced cells to assume rectangular (2-4 d) to cuboidal (8-10 d) shapes. Ayoub-Shklar stain developed brownish-red pigment in the transformed cells. Though, expressions of K8 and K18 were noted to be highly significant (p < 0.01) but expressions of epithelial membrane antigens and epithelial specific antigens were also significant (p < 0.05) compared to 0 d. Conclusively, epithelial transformations of mammary adipose stem cells would add up knowledge to develop therapeutic regimen to deal with mammary tissue injury and diseases.

돼지사료중 제주 화산암 분말(Scoria)과 Zeolite 가 산육능력에 미치는 영향

한인규,양창범,김진동,조원탁,이지훈 한국동물자원과학회 2000 한국축산학회지 Vol.42 No.4

This study was conducted to investigate the effect of Cheju scoria and zeolite on the growth performance, nutrient digestibility and excretion, carcass characteristics of pigs and to evaluate the value of Cheju scoria as a feed additive to reduce environmental pollutions. A total of 63 weaned piglets [D (♂) × LY (♀)] averaging 8.3±0.31 ㎏ of body weight were assigned to the feeding trial for 150 days and 16 growing barrows (averaging 40.5±0.57; four pigs per treatment) to the metabolic trial. The weaned piglets in the feeding trial were divided into three groups and treated in three replicates of seven pigs (4 gilts and 3 barrows) with one of the three experimental diets; con-soybean meal basal (BD), 3% Cheju scoria (CS), and 3% zedite diets (ZD). The based diets were formulated to contain 3,657 kcal DE/㎏ (CP 18.87%), 3,620 kcal DE/㎏ (CP 16.00%) and 3,473 kcal DE/㎏ (CP 15.97%) for starter, grower and finisher, respectively. 3% of com in basal diets was replaced by Cheju scoria or ziolite. All the pigs were slaughtered for carcass analysis at the end of experiment. During nursery period (0 to 39d), average daily gain (ADG) was significantly higher in CS than in BD and ZD (P$lt;0.05), and feed efficiencies in CS and ZD were better than that in BD. For growing period (40 to 109d), ADG and average daily feed intake (ADFI) were significantly higher in CS and ZD than in BD (P$lt;0.05)$gt; but feed efficiencies were not statistically different among treatments. For finishing period (109 to 150d), ADG was significantly higher in CS and ZD than in BD, and ADFI was not affected by the treatments. However, CS showed better feed efficiency than the others (P$lt;0.05). For the entire experimental period (0 to 150d), CS and ZD tended to be higher in ADG and ADFI compared to that of BD, but no significant differences in feed efficiency were observed among treatments. Dry matter (DM), crude protein (CP) and phosphorus (P) digestibilities were significantly higher in CS than that of BD, and there was no difference in nutrient digestibility between ZD and BD. Nitrogen (N) and P excretion were significantly lower in CS than in BD during the nursery period (P$lt;0.05). For the growing period, BD showed significantly lower N and P excretion compared to the control (P$lt;0.05). N excretion was significantly lower in CS and ZD than in BD, and P excretion was lowest in CS for the finishing period. There were no differences in carcass weight and back fat thickness among the treatment. However, carcass grade was much better in CS than in the others. With regard to meat color, Hunter L value was highest in CS, but there were no differences in Hunter a and b value between CS and BD. The results from the present study suggest that Cheju scoria could be a effective feed additive to reduce N and P excretion and to improve growth performance and meat quality of pigs. However, further research is needed to investigate the exact mode of action of Cheju scoria and optimal level of dietary supplementation.
