Total O2 consumption, ouabain-sensitive and ouabain-insensitive respiration rates were measured for the duodenal mucosa of non-lactating and lactating cows. Support of Na+, K+-ATPase activity, as measured by ouabain-sensitive respiration, accounted for 55% of total mucosal respiration of the cows at peak lactation. In mid-lactation and during the non-lactating period the proportion of O2 uptake inhibited by ouabain declined to 34–35%; the amount of ouabain-sensitive O2 uptake declined from 3.6–4.0 to 2.5–2.8 μL O2/mg tissue per hour. The magnitude of ouabain-insensitive respiration was highest during late lactation and the non-lactating period. It was concluded that Na+, K+-ATPase accounted for a major proportion of the duodenal mucosa maintenance energy expenditure. The magnitude of this expenditure is not constant throughout lactation. Key words: Na+, K+-ATPase, duodenal mucosa, O2 consumption, cows

Subcutaneous adipose tissue and intercostal and sartorius muscles from five barrows and five gilts at 20 kg liveweight were used to study lipogenesis, lipolysis, Na+, K+-ATPase-dependent respiration and protein synthesis. Lipogenesis rate measured by 14C-acetate incorporation into lipid was similar between barrows and gilts; and 100 μg insulin per mL enhanced (P < 0.1) subcutaneous adipose tissue lipogenesis by 74%. Lipolysis rate quantitated by glycerol release was similar between barrows and gilts (3546 and 4160 nmol g−1 2 h−1). Adenosine deaminase and norepinephrine together enhanced adipose tissue lipolytic response by 102%. Fractional and absolute rates of protein synthesis were similar between barrows and gilts (3.24 and 3.69% d−1; 6.01 and 6.06 mg g−1 d−1); and between intercostal and sartorius muscles. Barrows had lower Na+, K+-ATPase-dependent respiration than gilts and the maintenance of Na+ and K+ transmembrane ionic gradient in the muscle preparations accounted for 23–26% of total respiration.

The object of the present study was to determine the effect of thyroxine (T4) treatment of sheep on protein synthesis and associated energy costs in skeletal muscle and hepatocytes. Protein synthesis, and ouabain-sensitive and cycloheximide-sensitive respiration in isolated intercostal muscle and hepatocytes were determined in sheep after 5 weeks of daily injections of either saline or T4. Plasma T4 and total triiodothyronine (T3) concentrations were doubled and free T3 concentrations were quadrupled by T4 injections. The fractional rates of protein synthesis increased in isolated external intercostal muscle and hepatocytes from hyperthyroid sheep. Fractional rates of protein synthesis in isolated external intercostal muscle and hepatocytes were linearly correlated with plasma free T3 concentrations. Total oxygen consumption of muscle and hepatocytes was unaffected by T4 injections. Ouabain-sensitive respiration increased in hepatocytes and muscle of T4-treated animals. Cycloheximide-sensitive respiration was elevated in hepatocytes from hyperthyroid sheep. Cycloheximide-sensitive respiration in muscle was unaffected by T4 treatment. The present experiment demonstrates that T4 increases protein synthesis in ruminants. The energy expenditure in support of Na+, K+-ATPase and protein synthesis in skeletal muscle and hepatocytes may account for 34–60% of total cellular energy expenditure.

The effect of long-term cold exposure on skeletal and cardiac muscle protein turnover was investigated in young growing animals. Two groups of 36 male 28-day-old rats were maintained at either 5°C (cold) or 25°C (control). Rates of protein synthesis and degradation were measured in vivo on days 5, 10, 15, and 20. Protein mass by day 20 was ∼28% lower in skeletal muscle (gastrocnemius and soleus) and ∼24% higher in heart in cold compared with control rats ( P < 0.05). In skeletal muscle, the fractional rates of protein synthesis ( k syn) and degradation ( k deg) were not significantly different between cold and control rats, although k syn was lower (approximately −26%) in cold rats on day 5; consequent to the lower protein mass, the absolute rates of protein synthesis (approximately −21%; P < 0.05) and degradation (approximately −13%; P < 0.1) were lower in cold compared with control rats. In heart, overall, k syn(approximately +12%; P < 0.1) and k deg(approximately +22%; P < 0.05) were higher in cold compared with control rats; consequently, the absolute rates of synthesis (approximately +44%) and degradation (approximately +54%) were higher in cold compared with control rats ( P < 0.05). Plasma triiodothyronine concentration was higher ( P < 0.05) in cold compared with control rats. These data indicate that long-term cold acclimation in skeletal muscle is associated with the establishment of a new homeostasis in protein turnover with decreased protein mass and normal fractional rates of protein turnover. In heart, unlike skeletal muscle, rates of protein turnover did not appear to immediately return to normal as increased rates of protein turnover were observed beyond day 5. These data also indicate that increased rates of protein turnover in skeletal muscle are unlikely to contribute to increased metabolic heat production during cold acclimation.

Abstract Livestock animals are important dual-purpose models that benefit both agricultural and biomedical research. The neonatal pig is an appropriate model for the human infant to assess long-term effects of early life nutrition on growth and metabolic outcomes. Previously we have demonstrated that prematurity blunts the feeding-induced stimulation of translation initiation and protein synthesis in skeletal muscle of neonatal pigs. The objective of this study was to determine whether reduced sensitivity to insulin and/or amino acids drives this blunted response. Pigs were delivered by caesarean section at preterm (PT, 103 d gestation) or at term (T, 112 d gestation) and fed parenterally for 4 d. On day 4, pigs were subject to euinsulinemic-euaminoacidemic-euglycemic (FAST), hyperinsulinemic-euaminoacidemic-euglycemic (INS), or euinsulinemic-hyperaminoacidemic-euglycemic (AA) clamps for 120 min, yielding six treatments: PT-FAST (n = 7), PT-INS (n = 9), PT-AA (n = 9), T-FAST (n = 8), T-INS (n = 9), and T-AA (n = 9). A flooding dose of L-[4-3H]Phe was injected into pigs 30 min before euthanasia. Birth weight and relative body weight gain were lower in PT than T pigs (P &lt; 0.001). Plasma insulin concentration was increased from ~3 to ~100 µU/mL in INS compared to FAST and AA pigs (P &lt; 0.001); plasma BCAA concentration was increased from ~250 to ~1,000 µmol/L in AA compared to FAST and INS pigs (P &lt; 0.001). Despite achieving similar insulin and amino acid levels, longissimus dorsi AKT phosphorylation, mechanistic target of rapamycin (mTOR)·Rheb abundance, mTOR activation, and protein synthesis were lower in PT-INS than T-INS pigs (Table 1). Although amino-acid induced dissociation of Sestrin2 from GATOR2 was not affected by prematurity, mTOR·RagA abundance, mTOR·RagC abundance, mTOR activation, and protein synthesis were lower in PT-AA than T-AA pigs. The impaired capacity of premature skeletal muscle to respond to insulin or amino acids and promote protein synthesis likely contributes to reduced lean mass accretion. Research was supported by NIH and USDA.

Whole barley was treated with sodium hydroxide (NaOH) in laboratory trials. Dry matter disappearance from nylon bags in the rumen of whole barley treated with 2.5, 3.5, or 4.9% NaOH for 30 h was 59.6, 72.4, and 93.0%, respectively, compared with 82.2% for untreated ground barley. In a subsequent lactation trial, 24 Holstein cows (eight per treatment) were fed high moisture ground ear corn, high moisture rolled barley or high moisture whole barley treated with 3.5% NaOH. Milk persistencies tended to be greater for cows fed high moisture rolled barley, next for ground ear corn and least for NaOH-treated barley. Milk composition was similar for all treatments. Dry matter intake was greatest for cows fed ground ear corn and lower for those fed the barley diets. Alpha-linked glucose and pH of feces were similar for cows fed ground ear corn and high moisture rolled barley diets, but fecal pH was lower and alpha-linked glucose concentrations three times greater for NaOH-treated barley. Digestibility percents of dry matter, acid detergent fiber and nitrogen were 61.4, 25.3, 64.7 for ground ear corn; 64.4, 38.0, 67.1 for high moisture rolled barley; and 56.8, 43.2, 54.8 for NaOH-treated barley, respectively. Rumen grain turnover estimated by excretion of ytterbium in feces was greatest for NaOH-treated barley (9.09%/h), intermediate for ground ear corn (6.10%/h) and lowest for high moisture rolled barley (4.93%/h). Key words: Dairy, sodium hydroxide, high moisture grains
