Twenty eight 3-4 month old castrated Black Bengal kids (Capra hircus) were used to determine the effects of source and level of dietary copper (Cu) concentration on their performance and nutrient utilization. Cu was supplemented (0, 10, 20 and 30 mg/kg diet DM) as copper sulfate ($CuSO_4$, $5H_2O$) or copper proteinate (Cu-P). Kids were fed a basal diet containing maize (19.5%), soybean (17.0%), deoiled rice bran (56.5%), molasses (4.0%), di-calcium phosphate and salt (1.0% each) and mineral and vitamin mixture (0.5% each) supplements at 3.5% of body weight to meet NRC (1981) requirements for protein, energy, macro minerals and micro minerals, excluding Cu. The basal diet contained 5.7 mg Cu/kg, 122.5 mg Fe/kg, 110 mg Zn/kg, 0.26 mg Mo/kg and 0.32% S. $CuSO_4$ or Cu-P was added to the basal diet at the rate of 10, 20 and 30 mg/kg. Kids were housed in a well ventilated shed with facilities for individual feeding in aluminum plated metabolic cages. Blood samples were collected from the jugular vein on d 0, 30, 60 and 90 to determine hemoglobin (Hb), packed cell volume (PCV), total erythrocyte count (TEC), total leukocyte count (TLC) and serum enzymes (alkaline phosphatase, alanine transferase and aspertate transferase). A metabolism trial of 6 days duration was conducted after 90 days of experimental feeding. Statistical analysis revealed that source and level of Cu supplementation improved live weight gain (p<0.04) and average daily gain (p<0.01). No significant contribution of source and level of Cu to alter serum serum enzymes was evident. Goats fed Cu-P tended to have higher Hb, PCV and TEC than with $CuSO_4$ supplementation. Cu-P increased digestibility of ether extract (EE, p<0.02) and crude fiber (p<0.05) and showed an increasing trend (p<0.09) for digested crude protein (CP) and crude fiber (CF). Supplemental dose of Cu linearly improved (p<0.02) digestibilities of dry matter (DM), organic matter (OM), EE and nitrogen free extract (NFE). Though the absorption of nitrogen (N) was not affected (p>0.10) by both source and dose of Cu, N retention was affected (p<0.04) and there was a significant $Source{\times}Dose$ interaction (p<0.05). Final body weight (BW) was not influenced (p>0.10) by the source of Cu but increasing dose of Cu increased (p<0.04) the BW of kids. TDN intake (g/kg $W^{0.75}$) was higher (p<0.05) with the increased dose of Cu and there was a significant $Source{\times}Dose$ interaction. It was concluded that supplementation of Cu from different sources and varying dose level in a concentrate based diet may improve performance, nutrient utilization and plane of nutrition in castrated Black Bengal kids. The effects on performance and nutrient utilization are more pronounced with Cu-P than $CuSO_4$ supplementation. Higher dose of Cu showed better result than lower dose.

An experiment was conducted to evaluate the effects of one alpha-hydroxycholecalciferol ($1{\alpha}$-OH $D_3$) on growth performance, tibia quality, and skin and meat color in broilers fed calcium (Ca)- and phosphorus (P)-deficient corn-soybean meal diets. A total of 288 male Ross broilers, at 21 days of age, were randomly assigned to three treatments with eight cages per treatment. Three levels of $1{\alpha}$-OH $D_3$ (0, 5, and 10 ${\mu}g$/kg) were added to a basal diet (0.50% Ca, 0.13% non-phytate phosphorus (NPP), and 0.35% total phosphorus (tP)) without vitamin $D_3$. As a result of this study, the addition of $1{\alpha}$-OH $D_3$ increased body weight gain (p<0.001), feed intake (p = 0.007), feed efficiency (p<0.001), tibia weight (p = 0.002), length (p<0.001), breaking-strength (p = 0.012), ash (p<0.001), Ca (p<0.001), and P content (p = 0.004). Dietary $1{\alpha}$-OH $D_3$ enhanced breast meat yellowness (p = 0.015) and the length and weight of the small intestine of the broilers. Moreover, $1{\alpha}$-OH $D_3$ decreased serum Ca concentration (p = 0.074) and breast meat redness (p = 0.010). These results indicate that the $1{\alpha}$-OH $D_3$ improves growth, tibia quality, and meat color in broilers fed Ca- and P-deficient corn-soybean meal diets.

Growth hormone (GH) plays a key role in regulating postnatal growth and can stimulate growth of animals by acting directly on specific receptors on the plasma membrane of tissues or indirectly through stimulating insulin-like growth factor (IGF)-I synthesis and secretion by the liver and other tissues. IGF-I and IGF-Ⅱ are polypeptides with structural similarity with proinsulin that stimulate cell proliferation by endocrine, paracrine and autocrine mechanisms. The initial event in the metabolic action of IGFs on target cells appears to be their binding to specific receptors on the plasma membrane. Current evidence indicates that the mitogenic actions of both IGFs are mediated primarily by binding to the type I IGF receptors, and that IGF action is also mediated by interactions with IGF-binding proteins (IGFBPs). Six distinct IGFBPs have been identified that are characterized by cell-specific interaction, transcriptional and post-translational regulation by many different effectors, and the ability to either potentiate or inhibit IGF actions. Nutritional deficiencies can have their devastating consequence during growth. Although IGF-I is the major mediator of GH's action on somatic growth, nutritional status of an organism is a critical regulator of IGF-I and IGFBPs. Various nutrient deficiencies result in decreased serum IGF-I levels and altered IGFBP levels, but the blood levels of GH are generally unchanged or elevated in malnutrition. Effects of protein, energy, vitamin C and D, and zinc on serum IGF and IGFBP levels and tissue mRNA levels were reviewed in the text. Multiple factors are involved in the regulation of intestinal epithelial cell growth and differentiation. Among these factors the nutritional status of individuals is the most important. The intestinal epithelium is an important site for mitogenic action of the IGFs in vivo, with exogenous IGF-I stimulating mucosal hyperplasia. Therefore, the IGF system appears to provide and important mechanism linking nutrition and the proliferation of intestinal epithelial cells. In order to study the detailed mechanisms by which intestinal mucosa is regulated, we have utilized IEC-6 cells, an intestinal epithelial cell line and Caco-2 cells, a human colon adenocarcinoma cell line. Like intestinal crypt cells analyzed in vivo or freshly isolated intestinal epithelial cells, IEC-6 cells and Caco-2 cells possess abundant quatities of both type Ⅰ and type Ⅱ IGF receptors. Exogenous IGFs stimulate, whereas addition of IGFBP-2 inhibits IEC-6 cell proliferation. To investigate whether endogenously secreted IGFBP-2 inhibit proliferation, IEC-6 cells were transfected with a full-length rat IGFBP-2 cDNA anti-sense expression construct. IEC-6 cells transfected with anti-sense IGFBP-2 protein in medium. These cells grew at a rate faster than the control cells indicating that endogenous IGFBP-2 inhibits proliferation of IEC-6 cells, probably by sequestering IGFs. IEC-6 cells express many characteristics of enterocyte, but do not undergo differentiation. On the other hand, Caco-2 cells undergo a spontaneous enterocyte differentiation. On the other hand, Caco-2 cells undergo a spontaneous enterocyte differentiation after reaching confluency. We have demonstrated that Caco-2 cells produce IGF-Ⅱ, IGFBP-2, IGFBP-3, and an as yet unidentified 31,000 Mr IGFBP, and that both mRNA and peptide secretion of IGFBP-2 and IGFBP-3 increased, but IGFBP-4 mRNA and protein secretion decreased after the cells reached confluency. These changes occurred in parallel to and were coincident with differentiation of the cells, as measured by expression of sucrase-isomaltase. In addition, Caco-2 cell clones forced to overexpress IGFBP-4 by transfection with a rat IGFBP-4 cDNA construct exhibited a significantly slower growth rate under serum-free conditions and had increased expression of sucrase-isomaltase compared with vector control cells. These results indicate that IGFBP-4 inhibits proliferation and stimulates differentiation of Caco-2 cells, probably by inhibiting the mitogenic actions of IGFs.

본 연구는 만성 신부전 환자의 빈혈 치료로 사용되는 EPO의 효과를 감소시키는 여러 원인을 조사하고 각각의 원인에 대한 적절한 치료를 함으로써 EPO의 치료 효과를 향상시키고자 2001년 4월 현재까지 영남대학교 의과대학 부속병원 인공 신장실에서 6개월 이상 혈액 투석중인 72명을 대상으로 전향적 연구를 시행하였다. 전체 대상군(n=72) 에서 IVAA 12주 치료와 철분 상태에 따른 IVAA 효과를 판정하여 가장 효과적인 기능성 철 결핍 군에게는 IVAA 치료를 8주 연장하였다. 혈중 알루미늄이 4 ${\mu}g/l$ 이상군과 저장철이 500 ${\mu}g/l$ 이상인 군에게는 DFO를 8주간 투여하였다. Tsat 20% 미만 군에서는 경구 철 투여를 증가시키면서 IVAA 12주간 투여하였고, i-PTH가 120 pg/ml 이상 군에게는 비타민 $D_3$를 투여하였다. 성적은 다음과 같다. 1. 전체 대상군(n=72) 에게 IVAA 12주 치료 후 혈색소는 투여 전에 비해 투여 후 2, 4, 6주에 유의한 증가를 보였으나, 이후 지속적인 효과를 보이지는 않았다. 2. 철분 상태에 따른 분류 군중 IVAA 12주 치료에 가장 효과적인 반응을 보인 군은 혈중 ferritin이 100-500 ${\mu}g/l$이고 Tsat이 30% 이하 군이었다. IVAA 20주간 투여 결과, 혈색소는 초기 $9.01{\pm}0.73$에서 2, 4주에 각각 $9.56{\pm}1.01$ g/dl, $9.45{\pm}0.93$ g/dl로 유의한 증가를 보였고, EPO는 초기 $116.4{\pm}50.8$ IU/kg/week에서 2, 4, 6, 10, 12, 16, 20주에 각각 $85.4{\pm}74.4$ IU/kg/week, $86.8{\pm}69.8$ IU/kg/week, $95.3{\pm}63.4$ IU/kg/week, $92.4{\pm}63.9$ IU/kg/week, $94.8{\pm}68.2$ IU/kg/week, $93.4{\pm}50.2$ IU/kg/week로 유의한 감소를 보였다. 또한, 초기 Tsat $20.3{\pm}5.4%$에서 2, 6, 16, 20주에 각각 $27.5{\pm}12.8%$, $28.2{\pm}15.2%$, $32.1{\pm}17.3%$, $29.2{\pm}12.9%$로 유의한 상승을 보였다. 3. 혈중 알루미늄이 4 ${\mu}g/l$ 이상 군(n=12)에서 IVAA 12주간 투여 후 DFO 8주간 치료 결과, IVAA 12주간 투여시 혈색소의 유의한 변화는 없었으나, DFO 투여사 투여 전 EPO $145.8{\pm}72.2$ IU/kg/week에서 투여후 2, 4, 6, 8 주에 각각 $104.5{\pm}95.7$ IU/kg/week, $88.2{\pm}99.9$ IU/kg/week, $90.9{\pm}67.1$ IU/kg/week. $99.1{\pm}58.9$ IU/kg/week로 EPO의 유의한 감소를 보였다. 그러나 혈중 알루미늄은 DFO 전후에 유의한 차이를 보이지 않았다. 4. 혈중 ferritin이 500 ${\mu}g/l$ 이상 군 (n=25)에서 IVAA 12주간 투여 후 DFO 8주간 치료 결과, 혈색소와 EPO 용량의 유의한 차이는 없었다. 5. Tsat 20% 미만 군(n=7) 에서 경구 철 투여를 증가시키면서 IVAA 12주간 투여 결과, 투여 10주에 Tsat의 유의한 상승을 동반한 EPO 용량의 감소를 보였으나, 혈색소의 유의한 변화는 없었다. 6. I-PTH 200 pg/rnl 이상 군(n=10)에서 비타민 $D_3$ 치료 결과, 비타민 $D_3$ 치료 후 2주부터 지속적으로 유의한 i-PTH의 억제에도 불구하고 혈색소와 EPO 용량의 유의한 차이는 없었다. 결론적으로 만성 신부전 환자의 빈혈 치료로 사용되는 EPO의 효과를 감소시키는 원인 중 기능성 철 결핍성 빈혈 환자에서의 IVAA 치료는 Tsat의 증가 및 혈색소의 증가와 EPO의 감량 효과가 있었고, 혈중 알루미늄이 증가된 경우, 저용량의 DFO 사용으로 EPO의 감량 효과를 나타내었다. 이러한 결론을 확인하려면 향후 대규모의 전향적 연구가 필요하리라 생각된다.

In order to investigate the effect of different levels of niacin supplementation on growth, nutrient utilization, their balance and blood biochemical profile, 15 male buffalo calves (9-10 months of age, $88.4{\pm}4.37kg$ average body weight) were divided into 3 equal groups each of 5 calves, following a completely randomized design, and fed individually for 120 days with wheat straw and concentrate mixture to meet their nutrient requirements. In addition calves were supplemented with 0 ppm (control, group I), 100 ppm (group II) and 200 ppm (group III) niacin. After 90 days of experimental feeding a metabolism trial was conducted to estimate the digestibility of nutrients and their balance. Fortnightly body weights were recorded to assess their growth rate and blood was collected from the jugular vein at day 0 and subsequently at 30-day intervals from all the experimental buffalo calves to study blood biochemical parameters. Results showed that intake and digestibility of dry matter, organic matter, crude protein, ether extract, total carbohydrates, neutral detergent fibre, acid detergent fibre, cellulose and hemicelluloses were statistically similar in the 3 groups. Buffalo calves in all three groups were in positive nitrogen, calcium and phosphorus balance, without showing any significant effect of the treatments. Dry matter, crude protein, digestible crude protein and total digestible nutrient intake ($g/d/kgW^{0.75}$) were similar in the control and niacin supplemented groups. Digestible crude protein (%) and total digestible nutrients (%) in the ration of the 3 groups were 8.07, 7.99, 7.92 and 56.70, 56.63, 56.74, respectively, and were comparable among the groups. The average daily gain (g) in-group II (567.50) was not significantly (p>0.05) higher than group I (500.0) and group III (510.0). Blood biochemical constituents (glucose, total protein, albumin, globulin, urea-N, insulin) showed no significant effect of niacin supplementation. However, serum cholesterol (mg/100 ml) was significantly (p<0.01) lower in the 200 ppm niacin-supplemented group than in the control and 100 ppm niacin-supplemented groups. It can be concluded that supplementation of niacin at 100 and 200 ppm in the diet of buffalo calves had no significant beneficial effect on their growth and nutrient utilization.

본 연구는 육계사료 내 quercetin의 첨가가 육계의 생산성, 혈액 생화학적 성상, 면역 및 혈액 항산화 활성에 미치는 영향을 조사하기 위하여 수행하였다. 공시계는 1일령 육계 수평아리(Ross ${\times}$ Ross 308) 320수를 선별하여 육계초기(0~3주령)와 육계후기(3~5주령)의 35일 동안 시험을 실시하였다. 시험설계는 8처리구(C(-), 대조군; C(+), 항생제 처리군; T1, 비타민 E 20 ppm 처리군; T2, 비타민 E 200 ppm 처리군; T3, quercetin 20 ppm; T4, quercetin 200 ppm; T5, methoxylated quercetin 20 ppm; T6, methoxylated quercetin 200 ppm)를 처리구당 4반복, 반복당 10수씩으로 나누어 완전임의 배치하였다. 사료 섭취량과 사료 요구율은 quercetin 첨가에 따른 유의적인 차이가 없었다. 증체량은 quercetin 200 ppm 처리구가 높았으나, 유의적인 차이는 볼 수 없었다. 혈액 생화학 조성은 creatinine과 BUN이 무항생제 첨가구에 비해 유의적으로 감소하였다(P<0.05). 혈액 내 immunglobulin인 IgA, IgG 및 IgM 농도는 quercetin이나 methoxylated quercetin 첨가구가 무항생제 첨가구에 비해 유의적으로 감소하였다(P<0.05). 혈액 내 항산화 인자를 조사한 결과, quercetin 및 methoxylated quercetin 첨가구에 따라 SOD 활성이 높았으며, 특히, quercetin 200 ppm 처리구에서 가장 높게 나타났다(P<0.05). MDA는 무항생제 첨가구에 개선되는 경향을 보였으나, 처리구 사이에서 유의적인 차이는 없었다. 이런 결과들은 사료 내 quercetin의 첨가가 육계 생산성 및 혈액 대사에 효과를 보이며, 최적 수준은 20 ppm 이상이라는 것을 보여주고 있다.

간독성물질인 $CCl_4$의 대사에서 반응성이 높은 대사중간체의 증가가 P450 2E1의 활성 및 발현증가와 관련된다. YH439는 랫트에서 사염화탄소에 의하여 유발된 간 손상에 보호효과가 탁월하였고, 각종 독성물질에 의하여 발생하는 간염을 억제하며 P450 2E1의 발현을 억제하는 것으로 나타났다. P450 2E1의 발현억제가 YH439의 간장보호작용의 일부기전으로 해석되나 free radical 공격의 제어, 방어과정에 관련된 탐식세포의 역할등 간장독성에 관련된 YH439의 영향 및 관련된 기초연구는 완전히 확립되어 있지 않다. 본 연구에서는 상승적인 화학적 독성에 대한 YH439의 보호효과를 관찰하였다. Retinoyl palmiate (Vit-A)를 전처러하고 YH439를 처리한 rat의 경우 $CCl_4$ 단독투여군에 비하여 혈장 alanine aminotransferase (ALT)활성이 5배로 증가하여 $CCl_4$에 의한 간독성을 현저히 강화시켰으나, YH439와 Vit-A를 동시에 전처리한 rats에 있어서는 Vit-A에 의하여 강화된 독성이 94% 감소하였다. Vit-A에 의한 혈장 ALT 활성 증가는 Kupffer cell 활성을 선택적으로 억제하는 $GdCl_3$의 투여에 의해 완전히 차단되어 YH439가 Kupffer cell 활성억제를 매개로 상승적 간손상에 대하여 보호효과가 있음을 지지한다. Propyl sulfide의 전처치는 $CCl_4$에 의해 유도되는 간독성을 $CCl_4$ 단독투여와 비교했을때 5배 이상 증가시켰으나, Propyl sulfide와 YH439를 병용투여할 경우 propyl sulfide에 의해 강화되는 간독성이 YH439의 투여용량에 의존적으로 감소하였고, propyl sufide와 $CCl_4$에 의한 지질과산화의 증가가 YH439에 의하여 용량의존적으로 억제되는 것으로 나타났다. Propyl sulfide에 의하여 강화된 간독성의 차단은 YH439가 P450 2E1 발현조절을 통하여 간독성을 제어함을 지지한다. 그러나 YH439는 pyridine과 $CCl_4$에 의한 독성을 억제시키지 못하였다. 이는 Pyridine에 의해 유도되는 다른 형의 P450발현이 YH439에 의해 억제되지 못하는 이유로 해석된다. 중금속에 의해 유도되는 간독성에 대한 YH439의 보호효과를 ICR mice에서 관찰하였을 때 $CdCl_2$를 1회 투여할때 ALT와 aspartate aminotransferase (AST)활성이 $5{\sim}6$배 증가하였으나 YH439를 투여한 후 $CdC1_2$를 투여한 동물에 있어서는 투여후 6시간에 AST의 증가가 유의성 있게 억제되었다. 그러나 YH439는 thioacetamide에 의하여 유발된 liver fibrosis에는 개선효과가 없는 것으로 나타났다. 이러한 결과는 YH439가 Kupffer cell 불활성화를 통하여 Vit-A에 의해 유도되는 간독성을 효과적으로 방어하고, YH439에 의한 P450 2E1의 발현억제는 propyl sulfide를 경유하는 간독성 차단과 관계되며, YH439는 중금속으로 유도된 조직독성에 방어효과가 있음을 지지한다.
