JOURNAL OF ANIMAL SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY 2024; 66:178-203. [PMID: 38618031 PMCID: PMC11007456 DOI: 10.5187/jast.2023.e93] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/23/2023] [Revised: 08/24/2023] [Accepted: 09/01/2023] [Indexed: 04/16/2024]
Abstract
Constipation, which refers to difficulties in defecation and infrequent bowel movement in emptying the gastrointestinal system that ultimately produces hardened fecal matters, is a health concern in livestock and aging animals. The present study aimed to evaluate the potential effects of dairy-isolated lactic acid bacteria (LAB) strains to alleviate constipation as an alternative therapeutic intervention for constipation treatment in the aging model. Rats were aged via daily subcutaneous injection of D-galactose (600 mg/body weight [kg]), prior to induction of constipation via oral administration of loperamide hydrochloride (5 mg/body weight [kg]). LAB strains (L. fermentum USM 4189 or L. plantarum USM 4187) were administered daily via oral gavage (1 × 10 Log CFU/day) while the control group received sterile saline. Aged rats as shown with shorter telomere lengths exhibited increased fecal bulk and soften fecal upon administration of LAB strains amid constipation as observed using the Bristol Stool Chart, accompanied by a higher fecal moisture content as compared to the control (p < 0.05). Fecal water-soluble metabolite profiles showed a reduced concentration of threonine upon administration of LAB strains compared to the control (p < 0.05). Histopathological analysis also showed that the administration of LAB strains contributed to a higher colonic goblet cell count as compared to the control (p < 0.05). The present study illustrates the potential of dairy-sourced LAB strains as probiotics to ameliorate the adverse effect of constipation amid aging, and as a potential dietary intervention strategy for dairy foods including yogurt and cheese.

Attenuation of Chronic Stress-Induced Depressive-like Symptoms by Fish Oil via Alleviating Neuroinflammation and Impaired Tryptophan Metabolism in Aging Rats. JOURNAL OF AGRICULTURAL AND FOOD CHEMISTRY 2023; 71:14550-14561. [PMID: 37769277 PMCID: PMC10915802 DOI: 10.1021/acs.jafc.3c01784] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/21/2023] [Revised: 09/14/2023] [Accepted: 09/18/2023] [Indexed: 09/30/2023]
Abstract
The prevalence of depression is increasing, and geriatric depression, in particular, is difficult to recognize and treat. Depression in older adults is often accompanied by neuroinflammation in the central nervous system (CNS). Neuroinflammation affects the brain's physiological and immune functions through several pathways and induces depressive symptoms. This study investigated the relationship among depression, neuroinflammation, and fish oil supplementation. Thirty-six male Sprague-Dawley rats were used in an aging-related depression animal model to simulate geriatric depression. Cognitive function, depressive-like symptoms, peripheral nervous system and CNS inflammation status, and the tryptophan-related metabolic pathway were analyzed. The geriatric depression animal model was associated with depressive-like behaviors and cognitive impairment. The integrity of the blood-brain barrier was compromised, resulting in increased expression of ionized calcium-binding adapter molecule 1 and the glial fibrillary acidic protein in the brain, indicating increased neuroinflammation. Tryptophan metabolism was also negatively affected. The geriatric-depressive-like rats had high levels of neurotoxic 5-hydroxyindoleacetic acid and kynurenine in their hippocampus. Fish oil intake improved depressive-like symptoms and cognitive impairment, reduced proinflammatory cytokine expression, activated the brain's glial cells, and increased the interleukin-10 level in the prefrontal cortex. Thus, fish oil intervention could ameliorate abnormal neurobehaviors and neuroinflammation and elevate the serotonin level in the hippocampus.

Abstract
We, herein, investigated the in vitro effects of galactose on the activity of pyruvate kinase, succinate dehydrogenase (SDH), complex II and IV (cytochrome c oxidase) of the respiratory chain and Na+K+-ATPase in the cerebral cortex, cerebellum and hippocampus of 30-day-old rats. We also determined the influence of the antioxidants, trolox, ascorbic acid and glutathione, on the effects elicited by galactose. Galactose was added to the assay at concentrations of 0.1, 3.0, 5.0 and 10.0 mM. Control experiments were performed without galactose. Galactose, at 3.0, 5.0 and 10.0 mM, decreased pyruvate kinase activity in the cerebral cortex and at 10.0 mM in the hippocampus. Galactose, at 10.0 mM, reduced SDH and complex II activities in the cerebellum and hippocampus, and reduced cytochrome c oxidase activity in the hippocampus. Additionally, decreased Na+K+-ATPase activity in the cerebral cortex and hippocampus; conversely, galactose, at 3.0 and 5.0 mM, increased this enzyme's activity in the cerebellum. Data show that galactose disrupts energy metabolism and trolox, ascorbic acid and glutathione addition prevented the majority of alterations in the parameters analyzed, suggesting the use of antioxidants as an adjuvant therapy in Classic galactosemia.

Effects of resveratrol on alterations in cerebrum energy metabolism caused by metabolites accumulated in type I citrullinemia in rats. Naunyn Schmiedebergs Arch Pharmacol 2020; 394:873-884. [PMID: 33205249 DOI: 10.1007/s00210-020-02017-7] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/27/2020] [Accepted: 11/04/2020] [Indexed: 02/06/2023]
Abstract
We investigated the in vitro effects of citrulline (0.1, 2.5 and 5.0 mM) and ammonia (0.01, 0.1 and 1.0 mM), and the influence of resveratrol (0.01 mM, 0.1 mM and 0.5 mM) on pyruvate kinase, citrate synthase, succinate dehydrogenase (SDH), complex II, and cytochrome c oxidase activities in cerebral cortex, cerebellum and hippocampus homogenates of 60-day-old male Wistar rats. Results showed that 2.5 and 5.0 mM citrulline decreased pyruvate kinase activity in cerebral cortex and, at a concentration of 5.0 mM, increased its activity in hippocampus. Additionally, 5.0 mM citrulline increased citrate synthase activity in the cerebellum of rats. Citrulline (5.0 mM) reduced complex II and cytochrome c oxidase activities in cerebral cortex and hippocampus. With regard to ammonia, at 0.1 and 1.0 mM, decreased complex II activity in cerebral cortex and at 1.0 mM decreased its activity in cerebellum and hippocampus. Ammonia (1.0 mM) also decreased cytochrome c oxidase activity in cerebral cortex and cerebellum of rats. Resveratrol was able to prevent most of the alterations caused by these metabolites in the biomarkers of energy metabolism measured in the cerebrum of rats. Data suggest that these alterations in energy metabolism, caused by citrulline and ammonia, are probably mediated by the generation of free radicals, which can in turn be scavenged by resveratrol.

Abstract
The ATP-dependent Lon protease is located in the mitochondrial matrix and oxidized proteins are among its primary targets for their degradation. Impairment of mitochondrial morphology and function together with apoptosis were observed in lung fibroblasts depleted for Lon expression while accumulation of carbonylated mitochondrial proteins has been reported for yeast and HeLa Lon deficient cells. In addition, age-related mitochondrial dysfunction has been associated with an impairment of Lon expression. Using a HeLa cell line stably transfected with an inducible shRNA directed against Lon, we have previously observed that Lon depletion results in a mild phenotype characterized by an increase of both production of reactive oxygen species and level of oxidized proteins (Bayot et al., 2014, Biochimie, 100: 38-47). In this study using the same cell line, we now show that Lon knockdown leads to modifications of the expression of a number of specific proteins involved in protein quality control, stress response and energy metabolism, as evidenced using a 2D gel-based proteomic approach, and to alteration of the mitochondrial network morphology. We also show that these effects are associated with decreased proliferation and can be modulated by culture conditions in galactose versus glucose containing medium.

Antioxidant and antidepressant-like effects of Eugenia catharinensis D. Legrand in an animal model of depression induced by corticosterone. Metab Brain Dis 2018; 33:1985-1994.

Abstract
This work investigated the antioxidant and antidepressant-like effects of ethyl acetate extract from Eugenia catharinensis in mice treated with corticosterone (20 mg/Kg). The animals received saline or corticosterone (21 days) and, in the last 7 days, they were treated with the extract (50, 125, 200 or 250 mg/Kg) or vehicle. After 24 h, the mice were submitted to the open field and forced swimming tests, after which the hippocampus and cerebral cortex were removed. Our results showed that the extract decreased the immobility time of mice in the forced swimming test and that the extract was able to reverse the effect caused by corticosterone. Corticosterone pre-treatment generated oxidative stress, altering antioxidant enzymes in the nervous tissue. The extract increased the catalase and superoxide dismutase activities and reversed the effects of corticosterone. In the hippocampus, the extract increased superoxide dismutase activity and reversed the increase in catalase activity elicited by corticosterone. We propose that the effects elicited by the Eugenia catharinensis are dependent on the presence of phenolic compounds (gallic acid, protocatechuic acid, syringic acid, 4-hydroxy methylbenzoic acid, chlorogenic acid, salicylic acid, caffeic acid, vanillic acid, p-coumaric acid, isoquercetin, rutin, ferulic acid, aromadendrin, galangin and apigenin) in this extract, as demonstrated by HPLC-ESI-MS/MS.

Abstract
We investigated the effects of the intracerebroventricular infusion of galactose and the influence of pretreatment with antioxidants on oxidative stress parameters and acethylcholinesterase (AChE) activity in the brain of 60-day-old Wistar rats (6 per group). The animals were divided into naïve group (did not undergo surgery); procedure group (only underwent surgery); sham group (underwent surgery and received 5 μL saline) and galactose group (received 5 μL of galactose solution (5.0 mM) by intracerebroventricular injection), and were killed by decapitation after 1 h. Other groups were pretreated daily for 1 week with saline (sham and galactose groups) or antioxidants, α-tocopherol (40 mg/kg) plus ascorbic acid (100 mg/kg, i.p.) (antioxidants and galactose + antioxidants groups). Twelve hours after the last antioxidants injection, animals received an intracerebroventricular infusion of 5 μL of galactose solution (galactose and galactose + antioxidants groups) or saline (sham and antioxidants groups) and were sacrificed 1 h later. Galactose elevated thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBA-RS), protein carbonyl content and glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px) activity and decreased total sulfhydryl content and catalase (CAT) activity in the cerebral cortex. In the hippocampus, galactose enhanced TBA-RS, decreased total sulfhydryl content and increased AChE activity, while in the cerebellum it decreased total sulfhydryl content and increased CAT and superoxide dismutase (SOD) activities. Pretreatment with antioxidants prevented the majority of these alterations, indicating the participation of free radicals in these effects. Thus, intracerebroventricular galactose infusion impairs redox homeostasis in the brain; the administration of antioxidants should be considered as an adjuvant therapy to specific diets in galactosemia.
