Abstract
Abstracts: Skeletal muscles have a high demand for ATP, which is met largely through mitochondria oxidative phosphorylation. Autophagy is essential for the maintenance of skeletal muscle mass under catabolic conditions. This study investigated the effect of uncoupling mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation on autophagy in chicken skeletal muscle. Chick myotubes were incubated with the mitochondrial uncoupler carbonyl cyanide m-chlorophenyl hydrazone (CCCP) at 25 μM for 3h. CCCP prevented the phosphorylation of p70 ribosomal S6 kinase 1 (Thr389), S6 ribosomal protein (Ser240/244), and eukaryotic translation initiation factor 4E-binding protein 1 (Thr37/46), which are the measures of the mechanistic target of rapamycin complex 1 (mTORC1) activity. CCCP significantly increased cytoplasmic and mitochondrial LC3-II content, which act as indices of index for autophagosome formation and mitophagy, respectively, but did not influence the expression of autophagy-related genes LC3B, GABARAPL1, and ATG12. Finally, surface sensing of translation method revealed that protein synthesis, a highly energy consuming process, was significantly decreased upon CCCP treatment. These results indicate that the uncoupling of mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation stimulates autophagy and inhibits protein synthesis through mTORC1 signaling in chick myotube cultures.

Abstract
We investigated the effects of a low-protein diet and feed restriction on the mRNA expression of cationic amino acid transporters (CATs) in the longissimus dorsi (LD), rhomboideus (RH), and biceps femoris (BF) muscles of pigs. Eighteen piglets were divided into three groups: a control (CP21%), low-protein diet (LP, CP16%), and feed-restricted diet (FR, CP21%, 76% feed intake of control pigs) groups. The expression levels of CAT-1 in the LD and BF muscles of LP pigs were higher than that of control pigs, whereas that of FR pigs showed no difference. The CAT-2A expression levels in the RH muscle of FR pigs were higher than that of control pigs. The free lysine concentrations in all muscles of LP and FR pigs were lower than that of control pigs. To examine the factors that affect CATs mRNA expression, we evaluated the effects of lysine, arginine, insulin-like growth factor-I, and dexamethasone on the expression of CATs in C2C12 myotubes. CAT-1 expression levels increased in lysine and/or arginine deprivation. We show that CAT-1 and CAT-2A expression levels in skeletal muscles differ in response to dietary treatments and CAT-1 expression in skeletal muscles appears to increase in response to low free lysine concentrations.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Age-related increase in systolic pressure is known to be absent in indigenous Papuan populations, partially because of their life-long low-sodium and high-potassium diets.
Purpose
The aim of this study was to investigate the age-related change in left ventricular (LV) systolic and diastolic function and the relationship with arterial hemodynamics among the indigenous Papuan highland people.
Methods
Indices of arterial hemodynamics were measured using oscillometric brachial cuff-based sphygmomanometer (Mobil-O-Graph). Brachial-ankle pulse wave velocity (baPWV) was measured using a semiautomatic device (form ABI/baPWV). LV systolic and diastolic function was evaluated by 2-dimensional echocardiography and tissue-Doppler imaging using Vivid iq.
Results
A total of 81 native Papuans (median age 42 years, 47% women) were enrolled in this study. None of the subjects took any medicines, particularly antihypertensive drugs. All participants presented in sinus rhythm. With ageing, LV mass index remained unchanged, and LV ejection fraction increased, but mildly reduced (40–50%) in 3 participants. Transmitral E-wave velocity slightly decrease but the change was not significant. Transmitral A-wave velocity markedly increased (ρ=0.60, P < 0.001) and E/A ratio decreased with age (ρ=-0.52, P < 0.001). Age-related change of E-wave deceleration time was not significant. Septal e′ (ρ=-0.60, P < 0.001) and lateral e′ decreased (ρ=-0.53, P < 0.001) and average E/e′ increased with age (ρ=0.44, P < 0.001). Left atrial volume index did not change significantly with age. In multivariate regression analysis, baPWV was independently associated with E/e" ratio both before and after adjustment for age, sex, body mass index, mean arterial pressure, and heart rate; however, indices of wave reflection including augmentation index and reflection magnitude were not associated with E/e′. Only age and heart rate were inversely associated with E/A ratio.
Conclusion
LV systolic function was preserved in indigenous Papuan populations; however, LV diastolic function decreased with ageing. Age-related arterial stiffening, not wave reflection, was inversely related to LV diastolic function.

Abstract
This study was conducted to test our hypothesis that intramuscular fat (IMF) accumulation increases in pigs fed on a low lysine diet during the dark period than those fed on the same diet during the light period. Using barrows aged 6 weeks, we monitored whether serum glucose and insulin levels were affected by light conditions. Two diets with different levels of lysine, 0.78% (LL diet) and 1.37% (control diet) were prepared. Eight pigs were fed on the diet during the light period, while the remaining pigs were fed during the dark period. The pigs were fed either the LL diet or the control diet. Although IMF contents of Longissimus dorsi (LD) muscle were higher in the pigs fed on a LL diet (p < .05), the light conditions had no effect. Low dietary lysine caused reduction in serum glucose levels (p < .05) and serum insulin levels (p = .0613). However, they were also unaffected by the lighting conditions. To gain further insights, we determined the messenger RNA levels of insulin receptor, insulin receptor substrate 1, acetyl CoA carboxylase, and fatty acid synthase in LD and Rhomboideus muscles and in the liver.

Abstract
Autophagy, an intracellular bulk protein degradation system in skeletal muscle, is increased under catabolic conditions resulting in muscle atrophy. This study aimed to investigate the effects of insulin, insulin-like growth factor (IGF)-I, and amino acids on autophagy (LC3-II content and expression of autophagy-related genes) in chick myotubes. Chick myotubes were incubated with insulin (1 µg/ml), IGF-I (100 ng/ml), and amino acids for 3 h. The LC3-II content, an index of autophagosome formation, and mRNA expression of LC3B and GABARAPL1 were significantly decreased by insulin. The LC3-II content, but not mRNA expression of autophagy-related genes, was also significantly decreased by IGF-I. The LC3-II content and LC3B mRNA level were also significantly decreased by amino acids. The mRNA expression of atrogin-1/MAFbx, a muscle-specific ubiquitin ligase, was also significantly decreased by insulin, IGF-I, and amino acids in chick myotubes. These results indicated that insulin, IGF-I, and amino acids regulate autophagy as well as the ubiquitin-proteasome proteolytic pathway in chick myotubes.

Abstract
The observation of hyperfine structure in atomic hydrogen by Rabi and co-workers and the measurement of the zero-field ground-state splitting at the level of seven parts in 1013 are important achievements of mid-twentieth-century physics. The work that led to these achievements also provided the first evidence for the anomalous magnetic moment of the electron, inspired Schwinger's relativistic theory of quantum electrodynamics and gave rise to the hydrogen maser, which is a critical component of modern navigation, geo-positioning and very-long-baseline interferometry systems. Research at the Antiproton Decelerator at CERN by the ALPHA collaboration extends these enquiries into the antimatter sector. Recently, tools have been developed that enable studies of the hyperfine structure of antihydrogen-the antimatter counterpart of hydrogen. The goal of such studies is to search for any differences that might exist between this archetypal pair of atoms, and thereby to test the fundamental principles on which quantum field theory is constructed. Magnetic trapping of antihydrogen atoms provides a means of studying them by combining electromagnetic interaction with detection techniques that are unique to antimatter. Here we report the results of a microwave spectroscopy experiment in which we probe the response of antihydrogen over a controlled range of frequencies. The data reveal clear and distinct signatures of two allowed transitions, from which we obtain a direct, magnetic-field-independent measurement of the hyperfine splitting. From a set of trials involving 194 detected atoms, we determine a splitting of 1,420.4 ± 0.5 megahertz, consistent with expectations for atomic hydrogen at the level of four parts in 104. This observation of the detailed behaviour of a quantum transition in an atom of antihydrogen exemplifies tests of fundamental symmetries such as charge-parity-time in antimatter, and the techniques developed here will enable more-precise such tests.

Abstract
Antihydrogen, a positron bound to an antiproton, is the simplest anti-atom. Its structure and properties are expected to mirror those of the hydrogen atom. Prospects for precision comparisons of the two, as tests of fundamental symmetries, are driving a vibrant programme of research. In this regard, a limiting factor in most experiments is the availability of large numbers of cold ground state antihydrogen atoms. Here, we describe how an improved synthesis process results in a maximum rate of 10.5 ± 0.6 atoms trapped and detected per cycle, corresponding to more than an order of magnitude improvement over previous work. Additionally, we demonstrate how detailed control of electron, positron and antiproton plasmas enables repeated formation and trapping of antihydrogen atoms, with the simultaneous retention of atoms produced in previous cycles. We report a record of 54 detected annihilation events from a single release of the trapped anti-atoms accumulated from five consecutive cycles. Antihydrogen studies are important in testing the fundamental principles of physics but producing antihydrogen in large amounts is challenging. Here the authors demonstrate an efficient and high-precision method for trapping and stacking antihydrogen by using controlled plasma.

Abstract
The cationic amino acid transporter (CAT) protein family transports lysine and arginine in cellular amino acid pools. We hypothesized that CAT expression changes in pig skeletal muscles during rapid pig postnatal development. We aimed to investigate the tissue distribution and changes in the ontogenic expression of CATs in pig skeletal muscles during postnatal development. Six piglets at 1, 12, 26, 45, and 75 days old were selected from six litters, and their longissimus dorsi (LD), biceps femoris (BF), and rhomboideus (RH) muscles, and their stomach, duodenum, jejunum, ileum, colon, liver, kidney, heart, and cerebrum were collected. CAT-1 was expressed in all the 12 tissues investigated. CAT-2 (CAT-2A isoform) expression was highest in the skeletal muscle and liver and lowest in the jejunum, ileum, kidney, and heart. CAT-3 was expressed mainly in the colon and detected in the jejunum, ileum, and cerebrum. The CAT-1 expression was higher in the skeletal muscle of day 1 pigs than in that of older pigs (P < 0.05). The CAT-2 mRNA level was lowest at day 1, but increased with postnatal development (P < 0.05). There was no significant change in CAT-1 expression among the LD, BF, and RH during postnatal development (P > 0.05); however, there was a change in CAT-2 expression. The CAT-2 expression was highest in the LD of 12-, 26-, 45-, and 75-day-old pigs, followed by the BF and RH (P < 0.05). These results suggest that CAT-1 and CAT-2 play different roles in pig skeletal muscles during postnatal development.

Abstract
The purpose of this study is to elucidate developmental changes in muscle fiber type in the pig during pre- and postnatal development. For this purpose, we performed a histochemical analysis for myosin adenosine triphosphatase activity to assess muscle fiber type and determined abundances of messenger RNA (mRNA) of myosin heavy chain (MHC) isoforms. Samples of Longissimus dorsi (LD) muscle were taken from fetuses on day 90 of the fetal stage. Further, samples of LD, Rhomboideus and Biceps femoris (B. femoris) muscles were taken from pigs when they were 1, 12, 26, 45 or 75 days old. Expression of MHC 2b mRNA in the LD and the B. femoris muscles rapidly and considerably increased from the late fetal stage to the early postnatal stage and this increase was associated with the development of type 2b fibers at least in the LD muscle. As shown by the rapid and considerable changes in expression of MHC 2b mRNA, it seems that a certain plasticity of muscle fiber type still remains in this developmental stage.

We examined the effects of orally administrated amino acids on myfibrillar proteolysis in food-deprived chicks. Plasma N(tau)-methylhistidine concentration, as an index of myofibrillar proteolysis, was decreased by the administration of Glu, Gly, Ala, Leu, Ile, Ser, Thr, Met, Trp, Asn, Gln, Pro, Lys and Arg but not by Asp, Val, Phe, Tyr or His to chicks. Orally administrated Cys was fatal to chicks. These results indicate that oral Glu, Gly, Ala, Leu, Ile, Ser, Thr, Met, Trp, Asn, Gln, Pro, Lys and Arg administration suppressed myofibrillar proteolysis in chicks.

Abstract
We investigated the effects of a low crude protein (CP) diet and a low CP diet supplemented with synthetic essential amino acids (EAA) on the meat quality of broiler chickens. Twenty-one-day-old chickens were assigned to one of three diets: control, low CP (LCP), or low CP supplemented with EAA (ELCP). The chickens received these diets for 10 days. The shear force value (SFV) and free glutamate content of the Pectoralis major muscle were measured as indicators of the meat toughness and taste. The collagen and crude fat content of the muscle and the cross-sectional area of myofibers were measured to evaluate the effects of the LCP and ELCP diets on meat toughness. The SFV of the ELCP group was 47% lower than that of the control group (P<0.01). However, the LCP diet did not affect the SFV. The collagen and crude fat content were not affected by the dietary treatment. The cross-sectional area was lower in the LCP and ELCP groups (P<0.05) than the control group. The free glutamate content of muscle was not affected by the dietary treatment. Thus, a low CP diet supplemented with EAA is an effective means of producing tender meat.
