Changes in net portal and hepatic nutrient flux and oxygen consumption in response to 3-d abomasal casein infusions were studied in seven multicatheterized beef steers. Steers were fed 4.3 kg DM/d of a high-concentrate diet in 12 equal meals. Blood flow (para-aminohippurate dilution) and net flux (venoarterial concentration difference x blood flow) across portal-drained viscera (PDV) and hepatic tissues were measured on d 3 of the abomasal infusions. In two experiments, the response to 300 (300C) and 150 (150C) g casein/d were compared, respectively, to a control water infusion. The 300C increased (P less than .05) arterial blood concentrations of alpha-amino N (AAN), urea N and ammonia; 150C increased (P less than .05) arterial urea N. Urinary urea N excretion was increased (P less than .01) by 300C and 150C. Although 300C increased net PDV release of AAN (P less than .07) and alanine (P less than .10), there was no net change in total splanchnic (TSP) flux due to an increased net hepatic uptake of AAN (P less than .01) and alanine (P less than .05). Net PDV glucose flux was decreased (P less than .05) by 300C, but net hepatic glucose flux was not affected by either level of casein. The 150C increased TSP oxygen consumption (P less than .05) and hepatic oxygen extraction (P less than .10). Approximately 26 and 30% of the casein N infused abomasally appeared in the portal blood as AAN for 150C and 300C, respectively. The sum of net PDV ammonia and AAN fluxes accounted for 47 and 88% of the N infused for 150C and 300C, respectively. These data emphasize the importance of intestinal and liver tissues in regulating the flux of nitrogenous compounds absorbed from the diet.  相似文献

Four calves (avg wt 161 kg) were surgically fitted with indwelling catheters in the femoral artery and femoral, portal, hepatic and mesenteric veins to study the effects of subclinical ammonia toxicity on portal-drained viscera (PDV) and hepatic (HEP) net flux of key metabolites and pancreatic hormones. Hyperammonemia was induced via administration of ammonium chloride (NH4Cl; 12 mumol.kg BW-1.min-1) via the femoral vein catheter for 240 min; infusions were preceded (PRE) and followed (POST) by 60- and 180-min control periods, respectively. Blood samples were obtained from the arterial catheters, and portal and hepatic vein catheters. Net flux rates were calculated by multiplying venoarterial differences by blood flow. Arterial plasma ammonia N peaked (P less than .01) at 327 micrograms/dl; hepatic ammonia extraction increased (P less than .01) from 10 to 23% during NH4Cl infusion. Arterial plasma glucose concentrations increased (P less than .05) during NH4Cl infusion (90.5 vs 82.6 mg/dl) concomitant with trends toward a reduction in net HEP glucose output. Portal-drained visceral release of insulin did not increase (P greater than .10) during NH4Cl infusion despite the steady rise in circulating glucose concentration; however, cessation of NH4Cl infusion resulted in a 109% increase (P less than .05) in PDV insulin release at +60 min POST. Plasma L-lactate, nonesterified fatty acids, urea N and glucagon concentrations and net fluxes were variable throughout the experiment. Results tend to indicate that hyperammonemia reduced hepatic glucose output and glucose-mediated pancreatic insulin release.  相似文献

Effects of growth hormone-releasing factor (GRF) and intake on arterial concentrations and net visceral metabolism of hormones were measured in six growing Hereford x Angus steers using a split-plot design with 4-wk injection periods within 8-wk intake periods. Steers were fed a 75% concentrate diet at two intakes and were injected s.c. twice daily with saline or GRF (10 micrograms/kg of BW). Arterial concentrations of growth hormone (GH) were measured on d 1 and d 8 to 10 of injections. Eleven measurements, obtained at 30-min intervals, of arterial concentration and net flux of hormones across portal-drained viscera (PDV) and liver were obtained on d 8 to 10 of injections (six hourly measurements were used for insulin-like growth factor-I [IGF-I] and somatostatin). The area under the GH curve and average and peak GH concentrations were increased (P less than .01) by GRF and were greater (P less than .10) at low than at high intake. Liver removal of GH was not affected by GRF or intake. Arterial IGF-I concentration was increased (P less than .05) by GRF and not affected by intake. Treatments did not affect IGF-I flux across the liver. Arterial insulin concentration was greater (P less than .05) at high than at low intake, in part because of greater (P less than .01) PDV release. Increased (P less than .10) arterial insulin concentration in GRF-treated steers was not attributable to significant changes in PDV or liver net flux. Arterial glucagon concentration was greater (P less than .01) at high than at low intake, in part because of greater (P less than .05) PDV glucagon release and decreased (P less than .10) liver extraction ratio. Effects of intake on arterial concentration of insulin and glucagon were in part due to changes in visceral metabolism, but GRF did not affect PDV or liver hormone metabolism.  相似文献

Three lambs were used in a repeated Latin square design to determine the influence of isoenergetic infusions of propionate or glucose on portal-drained visceral flux (PDV) of nutrients and concentrations of insulin, glucagon, growth hormone and prolactin. Lambs were fitted with appropriate catheters for blood sampling and maintained on total intragastric infusion of nutrients. Basal VFA, casein, mineral and vitamin infusions (isocaloric and isonitrogenous) were supplemented with an additional 22 +/- .5 kcal/h from propionate, glucose or a combination of propionate plus glucose. Ruminal fluid proportion and arterial blood concentration and PDV flux of propionate increased (P less than .10) by 17 mol/100 mol, .02 mM and 40 mmol/h, respectively, with infusion of an additional 61 mmol/h of propionate. Regression equations predicted that, on a net basis, 67% of ruminally infused propionate and 43% of abomasally infused glucose appeared in portal blood. Arterial L-lactate, beta-hydroxybutyrate and acetate concentrations, and beta-hydroxybutyrate flux were increased (P less than .10) by .34 mM, .20 mM, .50 mM and 4.2 mmol/h, respectively, with infusion of 33 mmol/h of added glucose. Net utilization of glucose by the PDV was approximately 4.4 mmol/h when no glucose was infused. Increased infusion of propionate resulted in a 22.2-micrograms/h increase in PDV flux of insulin (P less than .08) but had no effect on arterial insulin, glucagon and prolactin concentrations (P greater than .10). Arterial growth hormone increased by 3.8 ng/ml with increasing glucose infusion (P less than .08).(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)  相似文献

Effects of increased ammonia and/or arginine absorption on net splanchnic (portal-drained viscera [PDV] plus liver) metabolism of nonnitrogenous nutrients and hormones in cattle were examined. Six Hereford x Angus steers (501 +/- 1 kg BW) prepared with vascular catheters for measurements of net flux across the splanchnic bed were fed a 75% alfalfa:25% (as-fed basis) corn and soybean meal diet (0.523 MJ of ME/[kg BW(0.75).d]) every 2 h without (27.0 g of N/kg of DM) and with 20 g of urea/kg of DM (35.7 g of N/kg of DM) in a split-plot design. Net flux measurements were made immediately before and after a 72-h mesenteric vein infusion of L-arginine (15 mmol/h). There were no treatment effects on PDV or hepatic O2 consumption. Dietary urea had no effect on splanchnic metabolism of glucose or L-lactate, but arginine infusion decreased net hepatic removal of L-lactate when urea was fed (P < 0.01). Net PDV appearance of n-butyrate was increased by arginine infusion (P < 0.07), and both dietary urea (P < 0.09) and arginine infusion (P < 0.05) increased net hepatic removal of n-butyrate. Dietary urea also increased total splanchnic acetate output (P < 0.06), tended to increase arterial glucagon concentration (P < 0.11), and decreased arterial ST concentration (P < 0.03). Arginine infusion increased arterial concentration (P < 0.07) and net PDV release (P < 0.10) and tended to increase hepatic removal (P < 0.11) of insulin, as well as arterial concentration (P < 0.01) and total splanchnic output (P < 0.01) of glucagon. Despite changes in splanchnic N metabolism, increased ammonia and arginine absorption had little measurable effect on splanchnic metabolism of glucose and other nonnitrogenous components of splanchnic energy metabolism.  相似文献

Effects of a 3-d mesenteric vein n-butyrate infusion (25 mmol/h) on net metabolism of nutrients by portal-drained viscera (PDV) and liver were measured in six Hereford x Angus steers. Steers were fed a pelleted 75% concentrate: 25% alfalfa diet at 135 kcal of ME/kg BW.75. Six measurements of blood flow and net metabolism of nutrients were obtained at hourly intervals immediately before beginning and ending n-butyrate infusion. Measurements were obtained during two trials, with three steers (457 kg BW, 28 mo of age in Trial 1; 478 kg BW, 19 mo of age in Trial 2) in each trial. The infusion of n-butyrate increased (P less than .01) net PDV release of n-butyrate. Infusion increased net liver removal of n-butyrate (P less than .01) and L-lactate (P less than .02) and release of beta-hydroxybutyrate (BOHB; P less than .02) and increased (P less than .03) liver extraction ratio for alanine. Net total splanchnic (PDV plus liver) release of n-butyrate (P less than .03) and BOHB (P less than .01) were increased, and net total splanchnic release of L-lactate (P less than .05) and propionate (P less than .07) were decreased by n-butyrate infusion. The infusion of n-butyrate decreased (P less than .01) net PDV release and liver removal of propionate in five of six steers. Infusion had no effect (P greater than .10) on insulin and glucagon concentration or net flux. In a companion in vitro study, L-lactate metabolism to glucose and CO2 by calf hepatocytes was decreased (P less than .08) by n-butyrate addition (2.5 mM). Effects of n-butyrate on liver L-lactate and alanine metabolism suggest that pyruvate carboxylase activity was increased, but our study failed to show a consistent effect of n-butyrate infusion on liver glucose production.  相似文献

The effect of feed intake level (.6, 1.0, and 1.6 x maintenance energy and protein requirements, M) on splanchnic (portal-drained viscera [PDV] plus liver) metabolism was evaluated in six multicatheterized beef steers (398 +/- 27 kg), using a double 3 x 3 Latin square design. On the last day of each 21-d experimental period, six hourly blood samples were collected from arterial, portal, and hepatic vessels. Due to catheter patency, PDV fluxes were measured on five steers, and liver and splanchnic fluxes on four steers. Increasing intake elevated (P < .01) splanchnic release of total (T) amino acids (AA), through increases (P < .01) in PDV release of both essential (E) and nonessential (NE) AA, in spite of a tendency (P < .20) for increased liver removal of NEAA. The PDV release of AA N represented 27 and 51% of digested N for 1.0 and 1.6 x M, respectively. At 1.0 and 1.6 x M, the liver removed 34% of total AA released by the PDV. For individual AA, portal flux of most EAA increased (P < .05) with feed intake, and the increase (P < .10) in splanchnic flux was accompanied by increased arterial concentration for all EAA except histidine, lysine, and methionine. This suggests that these might be limiting AA for this diet. On a net basis, most individual NEAA were released by the PDV except glutamate and glutamine, which were removed by the digestive tract. There was a net removal of NEAA by the liver, except for aspartate and especially glutamate, which were released. Ammonia release by the PDV tended (P < .20) to increase with intake and represented 69, 53, and 45% of digested N at .6, 1.0, and 1.6 x M, respectively. Urea removed by the PDV, unaffected by intake, represented 32, 33, and 21% of the digested N. Arterial glucose concentration increased linearly (P < .01) with greater intake, whereas net liver and splanchnic glucose release increased in a quadratic (P < .05) manner. Net PDV glucose release represented 26% of net glucose hepatic release at 1.6 x M. Intake elevated (P < .10) both insulin and glucagon arterial concentrations, resulting from a larger increment of portal release (P < .01) than hepatic removal (P < .05). Intake-based variations in IGF-I and NEFA arterial concentrations (P < .05) were not related to changes in splanchnic metabolism. These results clearly show the crucial role of the splanchnic tissues in regulating the profile and quantity of AA and concentrations of glucose and pancreatic hormones reaching peripheral tissues.  相似文献

Eight Angus steers (290 +/- 8 kg), surgically prepared with pancreatic pouch-duodenal reentrant cannulas and abomasal infusion catheters were used in a replicated 4 x 4 Latin square experiment to investigate the effects of abomasal infusion of starch hydrolyzate (SH) and/or casein on pancreatic exocrine secretion and plasma concentration of hormones. Steers were fed a basal diet of alfalfa (1.2 x NEm) in 12 equal portions daily. Abomasal infusion treatments (6-L total volume infused per day) were water (control), SH [2.7 g/(kg BW x d)], casein [0.6 g/(kg BW x d)], and SH + casein. Periods were 3 d for adaptation and 8 d of full infusion. Pancreatic juice and jugular blood samples were collected over 30-min intervals for 6 h on d 11. Weight and pH of pancreatic samples were measured, and a 10% subsample was composited and frozen until analysis of total protein and pancreatic enzyme activities. The remaining sample was returned to the duodenum. Plasma was harvested and frozen until analyzed. Pancreatic juice (67 mL/h) and protein (1.8 g/h) secretion rates were not affected by nutrient infusion. There were SH x casein interactions for all pancreatic enzyme secretions (U/h; alpha-amylase, P < 0.03; trypsin, P < 0.08; and chymotrypsin, P < 0.03) and plasma insulin concentration (P < 0.10). Secretion of pancreatic enzymes was increased by SH (trypsin) and casein (alpha-amylase, trypsin, and chymotrypsin) but not when SH + casein were infused together. Glucose (P < 0.10) and cholecystokinin octapeptide concentrations (CCK-8; P < 0.05) were increased by SH, but glucagon was decreased (P < 0.10). Casein decreased (P < 0.10) plasma CCK-8 concentrations. These data indicate that positive effects of postruminal casein on enzyme secretion were inhibited by SH, emphasizing the complexity of the regulatory mechanisms involved in dietary adaptation of pancreatic exocrine secretion. Changes in hormone concentration may not relate directly to changes in enzyme secretion.  相似文献

Seven ruminally cannulated Holstein steers (194 +/- 16 kg) housed in metabolism crates were used in a 6 x 6 Latin square, with one additional steer, to study effects of ruminal ammonia load on methionine (Met) use. All steers received a diet based on soybean hulls (2.6 kg DM/d), ruminal infusions of 200 g/d of acetate, 200 g/d of propionate, and 50 g/d of butyrate, as well as abomasal infusion of 300 g/d of glucose to provide energy without increasing microbial protein supply, and abomasal infusions of a mixture (248 g/d) of all essential AA except Met. Treatments were arranged as a 3 x 2 factorial and included urea (0, 40, or 80 g/d) infused ruminally to supply metabolic ammonia loads and Met (2 or 5 g/d) infused abomasally. Supplementation with the greater amount of Met decreased (P < 0.05) urinary N excretion from 68.8 to 64.8 g/d and increased (P < 0.05) retained N from 22.0 to 27.5 g/d. Urea infusions linearly increased (P < 0.05) urinary N excretions, plasma urea concentrations, and urinary urea excretions, but retained N was not affected. The efficiency of deposition of supplemental Met, calculated by assuming that Met deposition is 2.0% of protein deposition (6.25 x retained N), ranged between 18 and 27% when steers received 0 or 80 g/d of urea, respectively. There were no (P > or = 0.40) effects of treatments on serum insulin or IGF-I concentrations. In our model, increasing ammonia load did not affect whole-body protein deposition in growing steers when Met was limiting.  相似文献

Effects of growth hormone-releasing factor (GRF) and intake on net nutrient metabolism by portal-drained viscera (PDV) and liver were measured in six growing Hereford x Angus steers fed a 75% concentrate diet at two intakes in a split-plot design with 4-wk saline or GRF injection periods within 8-wk intake periods. Daily rations were fed as 12 equal meals delivered every 2 h. Steers were injected s.c. for 21 d with either saline or 10 micrograms/kg of (1-29)NH2 human GRF at 12-h intervals. Six hourly measurements of net nutrient flux (venous-arterial concentration different [VA] x blood flow) across PDV and liver were obtained 8 to 10 d after injections began. Energy and N balances were measured using respiration calorimetry during the last week of injections. Greater intake increased blood flow (P less than .01) and net visceral release or removal of most nutrients (P less than .10). Exceptions included a decrease (P less than .10) in net PDV glucose release with greater intake in saline-treated steers and a decrease (P less than .01) in net liver removal of lactate with greater intake. Treatment of steers with GRF decreased net liver removal of alpha-amino N (AAN; P less than .05) and ammonia N (NH3N; P less than .10) and release of urea N (UN; P less than .05), increased liver release of glutamate (P less than .05), and decreased net PDV release of NH3 N (P less than .10). Decreased liver extraction ratio for AAN in GRF-treated steers (P less than .01) implies a direct effect of GRF treatment on liver metabolism separate from changes in liver AAN supply. Proportions of body N retention not accounted for by net total splanchnic AAN release increased with GRF treatment. This suggests a change in peripheral utilization of dietary AAN supply or an increase in total splanchnic N retention.  相似文献

Effects of increased ammonia and/or arginine absorption across the portal-drained viscera (PDV) on net splanchnic (PDV and liver) metabolism of nitrogenous compounds and urinary N excretion were investigated in six catheterized Hereford x Angus steers (501 +/- 1 kg BW) fed a 75% alfalfa:25% (as-fed basis) corn-soybean meal diet (0.523 MJ of ME/[kg BW(0.75).d]) every 2 h without (27.0 g of N/kg of dietary DM) and with 20 g of urea/kg of dietary DM (35.7 g of N/kg of dietary DM) in a split-plot design. Net splanchnic flux measurements were obtained immediately before beginning and ending a 72-h mesenteric vein infusion of L-arginine (15 mmol/h). For 3 d before and during arginine infusion, daily urine voided was measured and analyzed for N composition. Feeding urea increased PDV absorption (P < 0.01) and hepatic removal (P < 0.01) of ammonia N, accounting for 80% of increased hepatic urea N output (P < 0.01). Numerical increases in net hepatic removal of AA N could account for the remaining portion of increased hepatic urea N output. Arginine infusion increased hepatic arginine removal (P < 0.01) and hepatic urea N output (P < 0.03) and switched hepatic ornithine flux from net uptake to net output (P < 0.01), but numerical changes in net hepatic removal of ammonia and AA N could not account fully for the increase in hepatic urea N output. Increases in urine N excretion equaled quantities of N fed as urea or infused as arginine. Estimated salivary urea N excretion was not changed by either treatment. Urea cycle regulation occurs via a complex interaction of mechanisms and requires N sources other than ammonia, but the effect of increased ammonia absorption on hepatic catabolism of individual AA in the present study was not significant.  相似文献

Six Holstein steers (313 +/- 10 kg BW) surgically fitted with hepatic portal, mesenteric venous, mesenteric arterial, and hepatic venous catheters were used in a replicated crossover design experiment to evaluate the feeding of Acremonium coenophialum-infected fescue hay on portal-drained visceral and hepatic nutrient metabolism. Only four steers had functional hepatic catheters. Infected (INF) and endophyte-free (EF) fescue hays were harvested on the same day in May, at the soft dough stage of maturity, from a similar location in southeast Kansas. The hay was chopped through a 2.5-cm screen and fed in 12 portions daily. Intake was limited to 5.2 kg of DM/d to equalize consumption. Each experimental period lasted 21 d. Dietary CP concentration was greater for INF than for EF (9.9 vs 8.6%); however, apparent digestibilities of DM (52.6%) and N (37%) were not different. Ruminal total VFA concentrations and molar proportions were not different with the exception of butyrate, which was increased (P less than .10) for steers when they were fed INF. Feeding of INF increased (P less than .05) arterial beta-hydroxybutyrate concentration and decreased (P less than .10) arterial butyrate concentration. Steers fed EF showed a greater (P less than .05) portal-arterial concentration difference for acetate and an increased (P less than .05) net portal flux of acetate (500 vs 620 mmol/h). No differences in net flux were noted for any of the other VFA, glucose, lactate, urea N, insulin, glucagon, or prolactin.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)  相似文献

Six ruminally cannulated Holstein steers (initial BW = 189 +/- 11 kg) housed in metabolism crates were used in a 6 x 6 Latin square to study effects of ruminal ammonia load on Leu utilization. All steers received a diet based on soybean hulls (2.7 kg of DM/d), ruminal infusions of 200 g of acetate/d, 200 g of propionate/d, and 50 g of butyrate/d, as well as an abomasal infusion of 300 g of glucose/d to provide energy without increasing microbial protein supply and an abomasal infusion of a mixture (238 g/d) of all essential AA except Leu. Treatments were arranged as a 3 x 2 factorial and included Leu (0, 4, or 8 g/d) infused abomasally and urea (0 or 80 g/d) infused ruminally. Abomasal Leu infusion linearly decreased (P < 0.05) both urinary and fecal N excretions and linearly increased (P < 0.05) retained N, but the decreases in urinary N excretion in response to Leu tended (P = 0.07) to be greater, and the increases in retained N in response to Leu were numerically greater in the presence of the urea infusion. Although urea infusions increased (P < 0.05) plasma urea concentrations, urinary N excretions, and urinary urea excretions, retained N also was increased (P < 0.05). The efficiency of deposition of supplemental Leu ranged from 24 to 43% when steers received 0 or 80 g of urea/d, respectively. Under our experimental conditions, increasing ammonia load improved whole-body protein deposition in growing steers when Leu supply was limiting.  相似文献

Six Holstein steers (mean +/- SE BW = 344 +/- 10 kg) fitted with hepatic, portal, and mesenteric vein and mesenteric artery catheters and a ruminal cannula were used in a 6 x 6 Latin square design to evaluate the effects of increasing ruminal butyrate on net portal-drained visceral and hepatic nutrient flux. Steers were fed a 40% brome hay, 60% concentrate diet in 12 portions daily at 1.25 x NEm. Water (control) or butyrate at 50, 100, 150, 200, or 250 mmol/h was supplied continuously via the ruminal cannula. Simultaneous arterial, portal, and hepatic blood samples were taken at hourly intervals from 15 to 20 h of ruminal infusion. Portal and hepatic blood flow was determined by continuous infusion of P-aminohippurate, and net nutrient flux was calculated as the difference between venous and arterial concentrations times blood flow. Ruminal and arterial concentrations and total splanchnic flux of butyrate increased (P less than .01) with increased butyrate infusion. Arterial concentrations of acetate (P less than .10), alpha-amino-N (P less than .05), and glucose (P less than .01) decreased with increased butyrate, whereas arterial beta-hydroxybutyrate (P less than .01) and acetoacetate (P less than .05) increased. Increased butyrate produced an increased portal-drained visceral flux of acetoacetate and an increased net hepatic flux of beta-hydroxybutyrate. Urea N and glucose net portal and hepatic fluxes were not affected by ruminal butyrate. Alpha-amino-N uptake by the liver decreased with increased butyrate (P less than .10). Simple linear regression (r2 = .985) indicated that 25.8% of ruminally infused butyrate appeared in portal blood as butyrate. Only 14% could be accounted for as net portal-drained visceral flux of acetoacetate plus beta-hydroxybutyrate.  相似文献

This experiment was conducted to determine the significance of the peptide amino acid (PAA) contribution to amino acid (AA) net flux in the portal vein and to evaluate the capacity for peptide absorption in the different segments of the gastrointestinal tract of ruminants. Four sheep (64+/-3 kg BW) were fitted with catheters and blood flow probes, allowing AA net flux measurements across the portal- (PDV) and mesenteric (MDV)-drained viscera and the rumen. Sheep were fed at maintenance a diet containing hay and extruded peas (70:30). Peptide absorption was investigated by a dose infusion of a mixture of peptides (casein hydrolysate, Pro-Phe, beta-Ala-His, Gly-Gly) into the rumen. Control and postinjection net fluxes of plasma free amino acids (FAA) and PAA were determined. The concentration of plasma PAA was determined by quantification of amino acids before and after acid hydrolysis of samples first submitted to chemical deproteinization and ultrafiltration (3-kDa cut-off filter). During the control period a significant net release (12 mmol/h) of PAA was observed across the PDV, which accounted for 35% of the sum of FAA and PAA net fluxes. This PDV flux of PAA mainly resulted from a MDV release of PAA (15 mmol/h). The net flux of total PAA across the ruminal wall was not significantly different from zero, but uptake of peptide Ile and release of peptide Gly were observed. The injection into the rumen of the peptide mixture increased the net release of peptide essential AA (EAA) across the MDV (P < .05) and the PDV (P < .10), and of peptide Pro and Phe across the non-MDV (P < .10). Peptide Ile uptake by the rumen tissues was decreased by the injection (P < .05). Significant increases in peptide Pro and Gly arterial concentrations were observed (P < .05). The 3-Ala-His and Gly-Gly arterial concentrations and net fluxes across the PDV were not affected by their injections into the rumen. This study showed that PAA may contribute significantly to AA flux across the PDV of sheep, and that part of this flux can probably be attributed to peptide absorption from the gut lumen. When high concentrations of peptides are generated in the rumen the possibility of peptide absorption before the jejunum has to be considered.  相似文献

The effects of specific nutrients on secretion and plasma concentrations of gut peptides (glucagon-like peptide-1((7-36)) amide (GLP-1), glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP), and cholecystokinin-8 (CCK)) differ across species, but are not reported for cattle. Our objective was to determine acute (hours) and chronic (1 week) effects of increased abomasal supply of protein, carbohydrate, or fat to the small intestine on dry matter intake (DMI) and plasma concentrations of GLP-1, GIP, CCK, and insulin. Four mid-lactation Holstein cows were used in a 4 x 4 Latin square design experiment. Treatments were 7-day abomasal infusions of water, soybean oil (500 g/d), corn starch (1100 g/d), or casein (800 g/d). Jugular vein plasma was obtained over 7h at the end of the first and last day of infusions. Oil infusion decreased DMI on day 7, but total metabolizable energy (ME) supply (diet plus infusate) did not differ from water infusion. Casein and starch infusion had no effect on feed DMI; thus, ME supply increased. Decreased DMI on day 7 of oil infusion was accompanied by increased plasma GLP-1 concentration, but decreased plasma CCK concentration. Increased plasma GIP concentration was associated with increased ME supply on day 7 of casein and starch infusion. Casein infusion tended to increase plasma CCK concentration on both days of sampling, and increased plasma GLP-1 and insulin concentration on day 1 of infusion. The present data indicate a sustained elevation of plasma concentration of GLP-1, but not CCK, may contribute to the reduced DMI observed in dairy cows provided supplemental fat.  相似文献

An experiment was conducted to develop a system useful for measuring methionine requirements of growing steers. Seven ruminally cannulated steers (312 kg, gaining .91 kg/d) were fed a diet based on ammoniated corn cobs, corn starch, molasses and urea. Quantities of N and sulfur-containing amino acids disappearing from the small intestine were 96.0 and 14.8 g/d, respectively. Postruminal infusions of Na-caseinate (CAS) resulted in linear (P less than .01) increases in N retention with values increasing from 30.1 g/d with no postruminal CAS infusion to 39.3, 50.8 and 59.2 g/d (averaged across methionine supplementation) when 100, 200 and 300 g/d CAS were infused. Postruminal infusions of a mixture of crystalline L-amino acids (simulating the nonsulfur-containing essential amino acid pattern of casein; SIM) at levels of 100, 200 and 300 g/d also led to linear increases (P less than .01) in N retention with steers retaining 30.9, 38.9 and 50.5 g N/d (averaged across methionine supplementation), respectively. Postruminal infusion of 12 g/d L-methionine across CAS and SIM infusions improved (P less than .01) N retention by 7.6 g/d but infusion of SIM, which is devoid of sulfur amino acids, also increased N retention. Responses to methionine supplementation was greatest when 200 or 300 g/d SIM were abomasally infused. The data are interpreted to demonstrate that, for steers fed a diet containing little true protein, postruminal supplementation with nonsulfur-containing amino acids tended to increase the ability of growing steers to respond to methionine supplementation.  相似文献

Seven Meat Animal Research Center (MARC) III heifers (410+/-25 kg) fitted with hepatic portal, mesenteric venous, carotid catheters, and an abomasal cannula were used in a 7 x 5 incomplete Latin square design experiment. The objective was to evaluate the effects of increasing levels of ruminally degradable N (RDN) with or without the addition of abomasally infused casein on portal-drained visceral (PDV) flux of nutrients. Treatments consisted of dietary CP percentage levels of 9.5 (control), control plus .72% dietary urea (11.5U), control plus 1.44% dietary urea (13.5U), control plus abomasally infused casein (250 g/d; 11.5C), or control plus .72% dietary urea and abomasally infused casein (250 g/d; 13.5UC). All diets contained (DM basis) 80% ground corn, 15% corn silage, and 5% dry supplement and were provided for ad libitum consumption. Nitrogen intake increased (linear, P < .001) as CP increased from 9.5 to 13.5%. Portal-drained visceral release of ammonia N increased (linear, P < .10) as RDN increased, and was greater (P < .05) when protein was fed compared with heifers fed control (P < .10). Urea N removal by PDV was not affected ( P > . 10) by level of RDN but was greatest when 11.5C was fed and least when 13.5UC was fed. Net alpha-amino N (AAN) release by PDV was greatest when 13.5UC was fed (309 mmol/h), least when 9.5% CP was fed (112 mmol/h), and intermediate for the other groups (205 to 252 mmol/h). These data suggest that removal of N by the PDV may promote microbial protein synthesis when dietary RDN is low. When RDN needs have been met and amino acids are deficient for the host, escape protein should be fed to increase amino acid absorption.  相似文献

Two experiments were conducted with ruminally cannulated Holstein steers to determine effects of N supply on histidine (His) utilization. All steers received 2.5 kg DM/d of a diet based on soybean hulls; abomasal infusion of 250 g/d amino acids, which supplied adequate amounts of all essential amino acids except His; abomasal infusion of 300 g/d glucose; and ruminal infusion of 180 g/d acetate, 180 g/d propionate, and 45 g/d butyrate. Both experiments were 6 x 6 Latin squares with treatments arranged as 3 x 2 factorials. No significant (P < 0.05) interactions between main effects were noted for N balance criteria in either Exp. 1 or 2. For Exp. 1, steers (146 +/- 7 kg) received 0, 1.5, or 3 g/d of L-His infused abomasally in combination with 0 or 80 g/d urea infused ruminally to supply a metabolic ammonia load. Urea infusions increased (P < 0.05) ruminal ammonia concentration from 8.6 to 19.7 mM and plasma urea from 2.7 to 5.1 mM. No change in N retention occurred in response to urea (35.1 and 37.1 g/d for 0 and 80 g/d urea, respectively, P = 0.16). Retained N increased linearly (P < 0.01) with His (31.5, 37.8, and 39.0 g/d for 0, 1.5, and 3 g/d L-His, respectively). Efficiency of deposition of supplemental His between 0 and 1.5 g/d averaged 65%. In Exp. 2, steers (150 +/- 6 kg) were infused abomasally with 0 or 1 g/d of L-His in combination with no additional amino acids (Control), 100 g/d of essential + 100 g/d of nonessential amino acids (NEAA+EAA), or 200 g/d of essential amino acids (EAA). Retained N increased (P = 0.02) from 34.2 to 38.3 g/d in response to His supplementation. Supplementation with NEAA+EAA increased (P < 0.05) N retention (33.9, 39.3, and 35.6 g/d for Control, NEAA+EAA, and EAA, respectively), likely in response to increased energy supply. Plasma urea concentrations of steers receiving NEAA+EAA (3.8 mM) and EAA (3.8 mM) were greater (P < 0.05) than those of Control steers (2.7 mM). The average efficiency of His utilization was 63%, a value similar to the value of 65% observed in Exp. 1, as well as the 71% value predicted by the Cornell net carbohydrate and protein system model. Under our experimental conditions, increases in N supply above requirements, as either ammonia or amino acids, did not demonstrate a metabolic cost in terms of His utilization for whole-body protein deposition by growing steers.  相似文献

Steers (379 +/- 10 kg) with ruminal, duodenal, and ileal cannulas were used in a 5 x 5 Latin square digestion trial to quantify and evaluate the relationship between intestinal protein supply and intestinal starch disappearance. Treatments were infusions of 0, 50, 100, 150, or 200 g/d of casein along with 1,042 g/d of raw cornstarch. Abomasal infusions were accomplished by passing tubing and a pliable retaining washer through the reticular-omasal orifice into the abomasum. Steers were fed a 93% corn silage, 7% supplement diet that contained 12% crude protein at 1.65% body weight in 12 equal portions/d. Periods lasted 17 d (12 d for adaptation, 2 d of collections, and 3 d of rest). The quantity and percentage of organic matter and protein disappearance from the small intestine increased linearly (P < 0.03) with infused casein. Greater quantities of starch disappeared with increased casein infusion (P < 0.01). The infusion of 200 g/d of casein increased small intestinal starch disappearance by 226 g/d over the control. Casein infusion did not affect the quantity or percent of organic matter, starch, or protein disappearance in the large intestine. Treatments did not change ruminal ammonia N, ruminal pH, or plasma glucose concentrations. Starch disappearance from the small intestine was increased with greater protein flow to the duodenum of steers.  相似文献
