The purpose of this study was to compare the nutritional effects of resistant starch, cellulose and pectin on growth rate, metabolic energy and apparent digestibility in rats. Forty eight male Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly assigned to six dietary treatments, Rats were fed, ad libitum one of six experimental diets: 5% of resistant starch (RS), 5% of cellulose (CE), 5% of pection(PT), 2.5% resistant starch and 2.5% cellulose(RS+CE), 2.5% resistant starch and 2.5% pectin(RS+PT), and 2.5% cellulose and 2.5% pectin (CE+PT) during 4 weeks. The results obtained were as follows: body weight gain were higher in groups RS and CE, compared with that in the group PT, where other groups such as RS+CE, RS+PT and CE+PT showed no significant differences to the RS group. Food intake and food efficiency into showed the same patterns. Metabolic energy were similar in the RS and CE, and was the lowest the metabolic energy in the group CE+PT was significantly low. Apparent digestibility of protein was significantly higher in the group RS, compared with the groups CE and PT. Apparent digestibility of mixed dietary fiber groups such as the RS+CE, RS+PT and CE+PT group were also higher compared with the group PT. Apparent digestibility of lipid were significantly higher in the groups RS, CE and PT. Apparent digestibility of lipid in the mixed pectin groups such as the RS+PT and CE+PT growth rate, metabolic energy and apparent digestibility of lipid in the mixed pectin groups such as the RS+PT and CE+PT recorded the lowest, while that of the group RS+CE was significantly high. From above results, following was concluded: The growth rate, metabolic energy and apparent digestibility of protein and lipid of group RS were significantly higher in comparision with the group PT, while availability of energy nutrients of group CE was similar to that of the group RS. Also resistant starch fed with pectin(RS+PT) seemed to have increased the growth rate and the apparent digestibility of protein compared with those of the group PT fed with pectin(PT) alone, however RS+PT scemed to have the apparent digestibility of lipid.

Objective: This experiment studied the effects of first feed intake time post-hatch on growth performance, nutrient apparent metabolic rate and intestinal digestive enzyme activities in broilers. Methods: Two thousand five hundred and twenty LingNan Yellow broilers were randomly allotted to seven treatments with six replicates of 60 each. The only experimental factor was the first feed intake time which was 18, 24, 30, 36, 42, 48, and 54 hours after hatching. The whole experiment lasted for 21 days. Results: During the whole period, the 30 h treatment had the best body weight and average daily gain (p<0.05), followed by the 24 h group performance optimization. Also, the 30 h group was observed to have the best apparent metabolic rate for ether extract (p<0.05) and crude protein (p<0.05) and the highest activities of amylase, lipase and trypsin in small intestine. And the 24 h group was second only to the 30 h group in terms of the above two measures. Conclusion: These results indicated that the appropriate first feeding time of LingNan Yellow broilers was 24 to 30 hours after hatching.

In order to observe the effects of resistant starches on the physio-nutrition in women, nine female university students were investigated using cellulose (CED), resistant starch 3 (RS3D) and resistant starch 4 (RS4D) diets. Each woman's daily intake and excretions of energy, protein and lipid were mesured together with the apparent digestibility and the amounts of total cholesterol and HDL-cholesterol were measured. The results obtained from this researh are as follows. The daily energy intake were significantly higher in the RS4D (Resistant starch 4 diet) compared with the CED(Cellulose) and the RS3D (Resistant starch 3 diet). The metabolic energy in those periods with RS added to their diets were significantly higher whereas the metabolic energy in the period CED was significantly low. The daily protein intake was significantly higher in the RS4D compared with the CED and the RS3D. The apparent digestibility of protein was significantly higher in the RS4D compared with the CED and the RS3D. The daily lipid intake was significantly higher in the CED compared with the RS3D and the RS4D. The apparent digestibility of lipid was not significant in that period. The concentration of total cholesterol, HDL-cholesterol, % of HDL-cholesterol and atherogenic index (A.I.) were not significant in those period. As the above results indicate, while RS3 appear to have similar effect on energy consumption rate, apparent protein digestibility and content of cholesterol in plasma, compared with the CED, but energy consumption rate and apparent digestibility of protein are significantly higher in the RS4D compared with the CED. Thus, it appears that cellulose and RS 3 share similar effects on physio-nutrition in human, while RS4 does not have the similar effects. (Korean J Nutrition 35(9) : 932∼942, 2002)

In this study, we aimed to assess the effect of flaking on the nutrient digestibility of corn grain in ruminants. In this regard, in vitro rumen fermentation, in situ rumen degradability, and in vivo metabolic experiments were performed. The automated gas production technique was used for the in vitro fermentation experiments. Six types of corn flakes with various degrees of gelatinization (32%, 41%, 48%, 66%, 86%, and 89%) were ground and incubated in rumen fluid to measure rumen fermentation characteristics and digestion rate. The in situ degradability of ground corn, whole corn, and corn flakes with 62% and 66% gelatinization was measured by incubation in the rumen of two cannulated Holstein cows. In vivo metabolic experiments were performed using 12 crossbred goats (29.8 ± 4.37 kg) using a 3 × 3 Latin square design. The dietary treatments consisted of ground corn and flaked corn with 48% or 62% gelatinization. In vitro experiments showed that as the degree of gelatinization increased, the digestion rate increased linearly, while the discrete lag time decreased linearly (p < 0.05). The effective rumen dry matter degradability, determined by in situ fermentation, was 37%p lower in corn flakes than ground corn, assuming a passage rate of 6%/h (p < 0.01), and there was no difference between the two flakes. In the in vivo experiment, there was no difference in dry matter intake, average daily gain, feed efficiency, and nitrogen utilization among the treatment groups (p > 0.05); however, the crude fat digestibility was lower for corn flakes than for ground corn (p < 0.05). To summarize, the rate of fermentation of corn flakes increased as the degree of gelatinization increased. However, non-ground corn flakes had lower rumen digestibility and did not improve in vivo apparent nutrient digestibility, compared with ground corn. In contrast to the assumption that flaked corn provides more energy to ruminant animals than ground corn, we conclude that the digestibility and energy value of corn flakes are lower than those of ground corn if mastication does not sufficiently reduce the particle size of corn flakes.

In the present work, the metabolic network of primary metabolism of the slow-growing myxobacterium Sorangium cellulosum was reconstructed from the annotated genome sequence of the type strain So ce56. During growth on glucose as the carbon source and asparagine as the nitrogen source, So ce56 showed a very low growth rate of $0.23\;d^{-1}$, equivalent to a doubling time of 3 days. Based on a complete stoichiometric and isotopomer model of the central metabolism, $^{13}C$ metabolic flux analysis was carried out for growth with glucose as carbon and asparagine as nitrogen sources. Normalized to the uptake flux for glucose (100%), cells recruited glycolysis (51%) and the pentose phosphate pathway (48%) as major catabolic pathways. The Entner-Doudoroff pathway and glyoxylate shunt were not active. A high flux through the TCA cycle (118%) enabled a strong formation of ATP, but cells revealed a rather low yield for biomass. Inspection of fluxes linked to energy metabolism revealed that S. cellulosum utilized only 10% of the ATP formed for growth, whereas 90% is required for maintenance. This explains the apparent discrepancy between the relatively low biomass yield and the high flux through the energy-delivering TCA cycle. The total flux of NADPH supply (216%) was higher than the demand for anabolism (156%), indicating additional reactions for balancing of NADPH. The cells further exhibited a highly active metabolic cycle, interconverting $C_3$ and $C_4$ metabolites of glycolysis and the TCA cycle. The present work provides the first insight into fluxes of the primary metabolism of myxobacteria, especially for future investigation on the supply of cofactors, building blocks, and energy in myxobacteria, producing natural compounds of biotechnological interest.

The SIB ZUN DAE BO TANG is one of the prevailing tonics appeared at first time on TAE PYUNG HOE MIN HAW ZE GUK BANG in Song’s dynasty and have been widely used up to now. To observe the metabolic effects of Thioacetamide from the SIB ZUN DAE BO TANG, the following experiment was performed. 1. The activation of G.O.T. and G.P.T. to blood serum have been decreased when Thioacetamide was administrated into the rabbit. 2. The coefficiency of the SIB JUN DAE BO TANG appears in 3 hours after administrate and it decreases gradually along with it’s time(1st, 2nd, 3rd day) but the coefficiency of the G.P.T. was more apparent on 2nd, 3rd and 5th day. 3. When administrating Thioacetamide, the total amount of cholesterol grows rapidly up to 3rd day and it continuously grows after the 3rd day. But when administrating SIB ZUN DAE BO TANG, the cholesterol amount in blood grows up to 3rd day, but it decreases gradually after it on the other day. The conclusion of the above experiments shows that the prescription (SIB ZUN DAE BO TANG) improves the metabolic deficiency and the recovery and remedy of diseases.

This study was performed to investigate the effect of dietary levels on protein metabolism in eight healthy Korean adult females. The 20-day metabolic study consisted of 2 day adaptation period and three 6-day experimental. Three experimental diets were low protein (LP : protein 44g), high protein(HP : protein 85g) and high animal protein (HAP : protein-84g). The apparent absorption and balance on nitrogen were significantly higher in high protein than in low protein diet. Nitrogen, absorption rate was about 75% for low protein and about 85% for high protein intake. The mean values of nitrogen balance were -1.28% for low protein and 0.78% for high protein diet. All the subjects were in negative nitrogen balance at the low protein intake while they were in positive nitrogen balance at the high protein intake. The mean daily urinary nitrogen excretion increased with increased level of protein intake. Urea nitrogen was the largest part of the urinary nitrogen. The ratio of urea nitrogen to total urinary nitrogen increased significantly for 79 to 85% as protein intake was doubled.

This study was performed to investigate the effects of dietary protein and calcium levels on calcium metabolism in eight healthy Korean adult females. The 2-day metabolic study consisted of a 2 day adaptation period and three 6-day experimental periods. Three experimental diets were low protein low calcium(LPLCa : protein 44g, Ca 422mg), higher protein low calcium(HPLCa : protein 85g, Ca 365mg), and high protein high calcium (HPHCa : protein 84g, Ca 727mg). The apparent calcium absorption was likely to be affected by the calcium intake rather than by the protein intake. Average calcium absorption rate was about 23-29% of calcium intake. The calcium balance was -21.44mg for LPCa, -25.02mg for HPLCa, and -3.22mg for HPHCa. Avergae urinary calcium excretion was 127.7mg for LPLCa, 108.6mg for HPLCa, and 215.4mg for HPHCa. Urinary calcium excretion was more closely related to the changes of calcium intake rather than of protein intake. These results seemed to be due to the interactions between the high phosphours contained in the high protein diet and the little discrepancy of protein intake levels.

균 성장속도가 tylosin 생합성에 미치는 영향을 조사하기 위하여, 여러 성장속도로 배양한 균체내에서 oxaloacetate 대사에 관여하는 효소들의 활성을 살펴보았다. 그 결과, 비 tylosin 생합성 속도($q_{p}$ )는 성장속도 $0.013h^{-1}$까지는 성장속도와 함께 증가하지만, 더 높은 성장속도에선 감소됨을 알 수 있었다. Citrate synthase, aspartate aminotransferase와 PEP carboxylase의 활성 및 합성은 $0.013h^{-1}$ 보다 낮은 성장속도에선 매우 낮게 나타났으며, 반면 methylmaionyl-CoA carboxyltransferase의 활성 및 합성은 tylosin 생합성과 마찬가지로 높은 성장속도에선 감소되었다. 따라서 tylosin 생합성은 균 성장속도에 의해 조절됨을 명백히 알 수 있었다.
