The individual duration of survival of adult rats in complete fasting varied considerably; the range at an environmental temperature of 22°C was 6–16 days, at 2–5°C, 1–7 days, and in thyroidectomized animals at 22°C, 15–25 days. This variation in survival was not closely related to the initial body weight but was related to the individual proportionate body weight loss per day and the total proportionate weight loss sustained before death. The individual proportionate rate of weight loss has been correlated with the metabolic rate indicating that the former reflected the metabolic rate of the animal. The duration of survival in fasting has been correlated with the individual metabolic rate, whether measured before or during fasting. Since fasting did not obliterate or reduce the individual differences in metabolic rate, it was possible to predict the individual duration of survival from knowledge of the prefasting metabolic rate. The total proportionate weight loss, which also influenced the survival time in fasting, was altered by changes in the environmental temperature and probably by other factors. The previous diet whether high in protein, fat or carbohydrate had little effect on the duration of survival. Fasting caused a decrease in the metabolic rate of intact rats at 22°C but no change in that of thyroidectomized rats or of rats living in the cold.

Body Fat Content

Body fat content and the melting point and fatty acid composition of body fat of hamsters exposed to 35, 27, 20, 15, 10, and 6 C for 2 weeks were determined. The relationship between exposure temperature and body fat content and composition resembled that between environmental temperature and metabolic rate. Below the critical temperature, there was a progressive decrease in total body fat content and melting point accompanied by a decrease in the mole fraction of palmitic acid and an increase in the mole fraction of oleic acid. The softening of body fat in cold-exposed animals appears to be the result of an increased mobilization of depot fat in response to a higher metabolic rate in the cold, a mobilization which is at least partially selective with respect to individual fatty acids or triglycerides. Examination of changes in whole body composition revealed that 72% of the loss in body weight of hamsters exposed to 6 C was due to a decrease in body fat content. In contrast, the decrease in body fat content accounted for only 28% of the body weight loss of pair-fed hamsters kept at 27 C on reduced caloric intake to match the body weight loss experienced by cold-exposed animals. It appears, therefore, that cold exposure induces a more effective fat depot mobilization than does reduced caloric intake. heat exposure; cold exposure; body composition Submitted on February 3, 1964

And Performance

Isoquinoline alkaloids (IQ) exert beneficial antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory effects in livestock. Therefore, we hypothesized that supplementing sows’ diets with IQ during gestation would decrease farrowing stress, affecting the piglets’ development and performance. Sows were divided into: IQ1, supplemented with IQ from gestation day 80 (G80) to weaning; IQ2, supplemented from gestation day 110 (G110) to weaning, and a non-supplemented (NC) group. Sow body weight (BW), feed intake, back-fat thickness and back-muscle thickness were monitored. Cortisol, glucose and insulin were measured in sows’ blood collected 5 d before, during, and after 7 d farrowing. Protein, fat, IgA and IgG were analyzed in the colostrum and milk. Piglets were monitored for weight and diarrhea score, and for ileum histology and gene expression 5 d post-weaning. IQ-supplemented sows lost less BW during lactation. Glucose and insulin levels were lower in the IQ groups compared to NC-sows 5 d before farrowing and had higher levels of protein and IgG in their colostrum. No other differences were observed in sows, nor in the measured parameters in piglets. In conclusion, IQ supplementation affected sows’ metabolism, reducing body weight loss during lactation. Providing IQ to sows from their entrance into the maternity barn might be sufficient to induce these effects. IQ improved colostrum quality, increasing the protein and IgG content, improving passive immunity for piglets.
