난황형성 단계에 있는 암컷 어미에게 갑상선 호르몬인 3,5,3'-triiodo-L-thyronine ($T_3$)를 20 mg $T_3$/kg 체중으로 주사하여 출산된 조피볼락 자어를 대조구인 sham구 및 control구 자어와 함께 30일간 사육하면서 성장과 생존율을 비교하였다. 자어에게는 출산후 5일째까지 rotifer를 공급하였고, 6~15일까지 rotifer와 Artemia nauplii를, 이후 30일까지 Artemia nauplii와 넙치용 배합사료를 혼합공급하였다. 출산후 자어의 성장은 대조구들에 비해 $T_3$구에서 유의하게 빨랐으며, 생존율 역시 T하(3)구가 대조구들 보다 유의하게 높았다. 실험종료시 치어의 비만도는 $T_3$구가 control구에 비해 다소 낮았고, sham구에 비해서는 유의하게 낮았다. 이상의 결과, 조피볼락에 대한 $T_3$의 모체주사는 모체에서 유래된 외인성$T_3$가 초기 출산자어의 생리활성을 증진시켜, 자치어의 성장과 생존율 향상에 도움을 줄 수 있는 것으로 평가되었다.

The most abundant long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acid in brain lipids is docosahexaenoic acid(C22 : 6 N-3, DHA). It is incorporated into nerve tissues mostly in utero and during the first year of life. DHA in brain is derived from either pre-formed DHA in human milk or by infant hepatic synthesis from linolenic acid in milk. This study was designed to investigate the effects of DHA supplementation on fatty acid profiles in maternal plasma lipid and breast milk. Twenty lactating women participated in the study. Seven women took 3g of fish oil per day and vitamin E for 28 days starting from the day of giving birth. Five women consumed 1.5g of fish oil as well as tivamin E, and the rest took vitamin E supplements for the same period of time. Dietary questionnaires and 3 consecutive 24-h recalls were collected to evaluate theri nutritional status and food habits. Finding that DHA intake from fish was not significantly different among three experimental groups, the partcipants were instructed to continue eating their usual home diets. Milk samples were taken on the day of giving birth, as well as the 7th, 14th and 28th day being the supplement phase, and finally 2 weeks after the cessating of DHA supplements. The amounts of the fish oil supplements produced significant dose-dependent increased in the DHA content of milk and plasma, but to a lesser degree. Base-line for 28 days raised the level to 2.05$\pm$0.43% and 1.5g/day supplement produced DHA levels of 1.02$\pm$0.19%. The results of this study indicated that relatively small amount of dietary DHA supplementation significantly elevats DHA content in milk. This would clearly elevate the infant's DHA intake which in turn may have implications for the infant's brain development.

Mercury is a toxic, persistent pollutant that bioaccumulates and biomagnifies through food webs. People are exposed to methyhnercruy mainly through their diet, especially through the consumption of freshwater and marine fish and of other animals that consume fish (e.g., marine mammals). All humans are exposed to low levels of mercury. Dietary patterns can increase exposure to a fish-eating population where the fish and seafood are contaminated with mercury. The primary toxicity targets of mercury and mercury compounds are the nervous system, kidneys, and cardiovascular system. It is generally accepted that developing organ systems are most sensitive to the toxic effects of mercury. The fetal-brain mercury levels appear to be significantly higher than the maternal-blood mercury levels, and the developing central nervous system of the fetus is currently regarded as the main system of concern as it demonstrates the greatest sensitivity. The subpopulation that may be at greater risk for mercury toxicity are those exposed to higher levels of methylmercury due to carnivorous fish, including sharks.

모체 출산 연령이 늦어짐에 따라 태아의 염색체 이상 빈도는 증가하는 것으로 알려져 있는데, 이는 난자의 노화에 따른 염색체의 비분리 현상의 증가 등이 주된 원인이다. 염색체 양 말단에 존재하는 텔로미어는 염색체의 안정성에 관여하고 세포분열이 진행됨으로써 이의 길이가 짧아져 노화의 지표로 활용되고 있다. 따라서 본 연구는 모체의 노화가 생산 배아에 미치는 영향을 알아보기 위하여 닭의 산란 연령별 배아의 염색체 이상 빈도와 이들의 텔로미어 함량을 분석하였다. 시험 분석은 20주령에서부터 70주령까지의 화이트 레그혼 종을 공시하고 10주 간격으로 생산된 수정란의 초기 배아에 대한 핵형 분석과 양적형광보인법(Q-FISH)을 이용한 모계 및 생산 배아의 텔로미어 함량을 분석하였다. 분석 결과, 초기 배아의 염색체 이상 빈도는 산란 연령에 따른 유의적인 차이가 있었는데, 산란 초기에 상대적으로 높은 염색체 이상 빈도를 보이다가 산란 중기에서 안정된 빈도를 유지하고, 후기부터 다시 이상 빈도가 증가하는 양상을 보여 모체의 노화가 태아의 염색체 이상 빈도에 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 개체의 텔로미어 함량은 연령이 증가함에 따라 점진적 감소 양상을 나타내는 반면, 모계 연령에 따른 생산 배아들의 텔로미어 함량은 연령 간에 차이가 없는 것으로 나타나 모체의 노화가 수정 배아의 텔로미어 함량에는 영향을 미치지 않는 것으로 보여진다. 이는 배란 후 수정이 된 배아는 초기 발생 과정 중 세포들의 reprograming이 일어나 텔로미어가 복구됨을 의미한다.

조피볼락 암컷의 난황형성기에 3,5,3'-triiodo-L-thyro-nine($T_3$)을 20mg/kg 체중으로 모체주사하여 어미의 혈중 THs 농도변화 및 알과 출산자어로의 THs 전이여부를 조사하였다. L-thyroxine($T_4$)의 경우. 어미의 혈중 및 출산직후 자어에서 $T_3$구와 대조구 사이에 농도 차이를 파악할 수 없었지만, 알에서는 $T_3$구가 대조구 보다 낮은 $T_4$함량을 나타냈다. 어미에게 $T_3$를 주사한 결과, 외인성 $T_3$가 24시간 이내에 어미의 혈중으로 빠르게 흡수되어 난소로 전이된 다음, 출산직후의 난황낭 자어에서도 지속적으로 체류하는 것으로 파악되었다. 일반적으로 난생경골어류에서 THs가 자어 발생 및 변태에 영향을 미치는 점을 고려해 볼 때, 외인성 $T_3$의 모체주사에 의해 조피볼락 자어의 생리활성을 증대시킬 수 있을 것이며, 종묘생산시 건강한 종묘의 생산 가능성이 높을 것으로 보인다.

The prevalence of atopic dermatitis (AD), chronic cutaneous disease, has increased rapidly worldwide. Since AD is the most common disease affecting infants, maternal food intake during pregnancy as well as lactation is important. The purpose of this research was to examine the difference in maternal food intake during pregnancy between mothers having children with or without AD. One hundred forty-eight mothers with children aged under 2 years with AD (AD group, n=74) or without AD (non-AD group, n=74) were included in the study. Diet during pregnancy was examined using a food frequency questionnaire. There were no differences in the status of mothers' food consumption during pregnancy between the AD and non-AD groups. Mothers in the AD group consumed significantly less white fish (P<0.05), carrot & pumpkin (P<0.01), walnut & pine nut (P<0.05), mandarin & orange (P<0.05), and peach (P<0.05) than those in the non-AD group. As food frequencies were categorized according to <1/month, 1~3/month, 1~6/week, and 1~3/day, lower consumption of carrot & pumpkin (Odds Ratio (OR)=6.67, 95% Confidence Interval (CI)=1.98~22.44), tomato (OR=5.11, 95% CI=1.62~16.08), mandarin & orange (OR=8.64, 95% CI=1.59~46.81), and walnut & pine nut (OR=3.85, 95% CI=1.26~11.77) increased the risk of childhood AD. According to the results, maternal food intakes during pregnancy were significantly different between the AD and non-AD groups. Therefore, further studies are necessary to examine the causal relationship between maternal food intake and prevalence of AD in children.

We studied the effects of fish oil supplementation with low does on the lipid concentration and fatty acid of plasma and the fatty acid composition of plasma phospholipid and erythrocyte of lactating women. The subjects, 18 lactating women, who were exclusively breast-fed their babies were classifed into a control group and 2 fish oil groups according to dose; the subjects of fish oil groups were supplemented with 1.96g/d or 3.92g/d of fish oil, respectively for 2 weeks from 10 to 12 weeks postpartum. All subjects consumed their usual diet at home. Blood sample were collected at the final day of experiment. The plasma HDL-cholesterol level increased significantly by fish oil supplementation. The concentrations of DHA (docesahexaenoic acid) and EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid) in the plasma PC(phosphatidylcholine) and PE (phosphatidylethanolamine)of fish oil groups tended to increase, but not significant. However, the concentrations of DHA and EPA of PC and PE in erythrocyte were not affected by fish oil supplementation. These results demonstrate that fish oil supplementation with low dose does not change the concentration of plasma lipid as well as fatty acid composition in plasma PC and PE and red blood cell obviously. However the increase of plasma HDL-cholesterol level, the reduction of atherogenic index(AI) and the tendency of increase of DHA and EPA concentrations in plasma PC and PE indicate that there may be some beneficial effects on maternal lipid metabolism if fish oil intakes were increased.

Objective: The objectives of the current study were to study the main environmental factors affecting birth weight (BW) and weaning weight (WW), estimate variance components, genetic parameters and genetic trend and to evaluate the variability and relationships among breeding value of BW and WW using principal components analysis (PCA). Methods: A total of 16,370 records were collected from 8,271 buffalo calves. Genetic parameters and breeding values were estimated using a bivariate animal model which includes direct, maternal and permanent maternal effects. These estimates were standardized and used in PCA. Results: The direct heritability estimates were 0.06 and 0.41 for BW and WW, respectively whereas direct maternal heritability values were 0.03 and 0.14, respectively. Proportions of variance due to permanent environmental effects of dam were 0.455 and 0.280 for BW and WW respectively. The genetic correlation between BW and WWs was weak approaching zero, but the maternal correlation was 0.26. The first two principal components (PC1 and PC2) were estimated utilizing the standardized breeding values according to Kaiser method. The total variance explained by the first two PCs was 71.17% in which 45.91% and 25.25% were explained by PC1 and PC2, respectively. The direct breeding values of BW were related to PC2 but those of WW and maternal breeding values of BW and WWs were associated with PC1. Conclusion: The results of genetic parameters and PCA indicate that BW and WWs were not genetically correlated and improving growth traits of Egyptian buffaloes could be achieved using WW without any adverse effect by BW.

This study was conducted to identify the taxonomic differences in the characteristics of Rhodeus ocellatus and Acheilognathus yamatsutae during their early life history via an interspecific hybridization experiment. Results showed that the hatching rates of the cross-bred eggs were 60% for cross OY (R. ocellatus ♀×A. yamatsutae ♂) and 70% for cross YO (A. yamatsutae ♀×R. ocellatus ♂). The dorsal fin rays of YO were similar to those of R. ocellatus. The hybridization test of A. yamatsutae and R. ocellatus living in the same water stream revealed that no interspecies reproductive isolation occurred. OY and YO showed similar maternal and paternal characteristic. The juvenile of OY did not resemble both paternal and maternal fin rays, indicating a difference. The hatching larvae of the hybrids showed the morphological characteristics of their parents but varied in terms of the shapes of their parts.
