Objective: This experiment was designed to determine the effects of coated cysteamine hydrochloride (CC) on muscle fiber characteristics, amino acid composition and transporters gene expression in the longissimus dorsi muscle (LDM) of finishing pigs. Methods: Two hundred and sixteen Duroc/Landrace/Yorkshire cross-bred male finishing pigs were fed with a corn-soybean basal diet supplemented with 0, 70, and 140 mg/kg cysteamine. Each group contained eight replicates of nine pigs per replicate. After 29 days, one pig was randomly selected from each replicate and slaughtered. Blood and LDM samples were collected and analyzed. Results: The results showed that supplemental dietary CC increased (p<0.05) the muscle fiber density. And CC supplementation also up-regulated (p<0.05) the expression of myosin heavy chain 1 (MyHC1) and MyHC2x mRNA levels, and down-regulated (p<0.05) MyHC2b expression in the LDM. Additionally, supplemental dietary CC reduced (p<0.05) the concentration of total cholesterol in the plasma and enhanced (p<0.05) the concentrations of essential amino acid and total amino acid in the LDM. The relative expression levels of chloramphenicol acetyltransferase 2, $b^{0,+}$ amino acid transporter, and $y^+$-L-type amino acid transporter 1 were upregulated (p<0.05) in the LDM when pigs were fed with the dietary CC of 70 mg/kg. Conclusion: Cysteamine supplementation could increase fiber density and distribution of fiber types. It also improved the deposition of protein in the LDM by up-regulated the expression of amino acid transporters.

에틸알코올의 첨가로 과포화가 유도되는 NaF 결정화 과정을 수정진동자를 이용하여 측정하였다. 준안정 상태의 NaF 용액에 에틸알코올을 첨가하면 NaF의 용해도가 감소하여 NaF 과포화가 형성되어 결과적으로 NaF 결정이 생성 및 성장한다. NaF 용액의 과포화에서 결정 생성 및 성장하는 변화를 감지하기 위하여 수정진동자의 금전극 표면을 염산시스테아민(cysteamine hydrochloride; 2-mercaptoethylamine hydrochloride)으로 self-assembly하여 수식하여 응용 가능성을 검토하였다. 과포화 과정을 통해 생성된 NaF 결정이 염산시스테아민 표면 위에 흡착되면 흡착된 양에 비례하여 수정진동자 주파수가 변화하기 때문에 주파수 변화를 측정함으로써 간접적으로 NaF 결정과정을 분석할 수 있었다. 알코올의 주입량을 1-5 ml로 변화시킴으로써 용액 중에 형성되는 NaF의 과포화 농도의 수준을 변화시켜 주었으며, 염산시스테아민 박막에 대한 주파수 변화를 분석함으로써 주입량에 따른 NaF 결정화 정도를 해석할 수 있었다. 이들 결과들을 통하여 수정진동자를 이용한 NaF 결정화 과정의 분석이 가능함을 알 수 있었다.
