Abstract
Heat stress (HS) is an important environmental stress factor affecting poultry production on a global scale. With the rise in ambient temperature and increasing effects of global warming, it becomes pertinent to understand the effects of HS on poultry production and the strategies that can be adopted to mitigate its detrimental impacts on the performance, health, welfare, immunity, and survival of birds. Amino acids (AAs) have been increasingly adopted as nutritional modifiers in animals to ameliorate the adverse effects of HS. They are essential for protein synthesis, growth, maintenance, reproduction, immunity, stress response, and whole-body homeostasis. However, HS tends to adversely affect the availability, transport, absorption, and utilization of these AAs. Studies have investigated the provision of these AAs to poultry during HS conditions, and variable findings have been reported. Taurine, L-theanine, and L-citrulline are non-essential amino acids that are increasingly gaining attention as nutritional supplements in HS animals. Similarly, betaine is an amino acid derivative that possesses favorable biological properties which contributes to its role as a functional additive during HS. Of particular note, taurine is negligible in plants, while betaine, L-theanine, and L-citrulline can be found in selected plants. These nutrients are barely found in feed ingredients, but their supply has been shown to elicit important physiological roles including anti-stress effects, anti-oxidative, anti-inflammatory, gut promoting, and immunomodulatory functions. The present review provides information on the use of these nutritionally and physiologically beneficial nutrients as functional additives to poultry diets during HS conditions. Presently, although several studies have reported on the positive effects of these additives in human and murine studies, however, there is limited information regarding their utilization during heat stress in poultry nutrition. Therefore, this review aims to expound on the functional properties of these nutrients, their potentials for HS alleviation, and to stimulate further researches on their biological roles in poultry nutrition.

ANNALS OF TRANSLATIONAL MEDICINE 2022; 10:211. [PMID: 35280405 PMCID: PMC8908121 DOI: 10.21037/atm-22-222] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/22/2021] [Accepted: 02/18/2022] [Indexed: 12/02/2022]
Abstract
Background Myocardial injury induced by refeeding syndrome (RFS) is one of the important causes of deterioration in critically ill patients. Sirtuin-3 (SIRT3) has been shown to regulate mitochondrial autophagy in myocardial ischemia/reperfusion injury; however, the role of mitochondrial autophagy on RFS-related myocardial injury in patients in critical condition has not been reported on. Methods Thirty Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats were divided into 3 groups (n=10 each group): the control group; the standard calorie refeeding (SCR) group; and the low calorie refeeding (LCR) group. The rats were weighed every third or four days from day 1 to day 14. On day 14, all rats were anesthetized and received an echocardiography test. Blood and bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) were collected and tested for arterial oxygen pressure (PaO2), phosphorus (P), and calcium (Ca), creatine kinase-MB (CK-MB), lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), and cardiac troponin 1 (cTnI), myeloperoxidase (MPO), tumor necrosis factor α (TNF-α), interleukin-1β (IL-1β), and IL-6. The histopathological change of hearts and lungs were evaluated, and lung injury score was calculated. Mitochondrial autophagy related proteins (including Beclin1, LC3, mitofusin-2, Mfn2, PINK1, Parkin, and SIRT3) were analyzed using a Western blot. To evaluate the effect of SIRT3, 20 rats were divided into 2 groups (n=10 each group): The adeno-associated virus 9 (AAV9-Nc) group; and the AAV9-SIRT3 overexpression (AAV9-SIRT3) group. The protocols for rats were the same as the SCR group since day 22 after injection of AAV9. The protein expressions of PINK1, Parkin, and SIRT3 were compared between the AAV9-Nc group and AAV9-SIRT3 group. Results SCR caused significant decline in cardiac contractility and increased inflammatory cell infiltration in myocardial tissue. Meanwhile, Beclin1, LC3, PINK1, Parkin, and SIRT3 levels decreased, while Mfn2 showed no significant change. Furthermore, significant positive correlations were also found between SIRT3 and P, PINK1, and Parkin, and significant negative correlations were found between SIRT3 and CK-MB, LDH, and cTnI. Overexpression of SIRT3 activated the PINK1/Parkin mediated mitochondrial autophagy. Conclusions SIRT3 has an essential role in RFS-related myocardial injury during LPS induced chronic sepsis in rats, probably via regulating mitochondrial autophagy.

Dose-dependent beneficial effects of citrulline supplementation in short bowel syndrome in rats. Nutrition 2021; 85:111118. [PMID: 33545544 DOI: 10.1016/j.nut.2020.111118] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/13/2020] [Revised: 12/04/2020] [Accepted: 12/07/2020] [Indexed: 12/14/2022]
Abstract
OBJECTIVES Supplementing diet with citrulline has proved an efficient means of preserving nitrogen balance and improving nutritional status after massive intestinal resection. The aim of this study was to model the action of citrulline in gut-resected rats using a dose-ranging study focused on skeletal muscle nitrogen homeostasis. METHODS Forty-six rats were randomly assigned to one of the following groups: citrulline 0.5 g·kg·d-1 (n = 9), citrulline 1 g·kg·d-1 (n = 7), citrulline 2.5 g·kg·d-1 (n = 8), citrulline 5 g·kg·d-1 (n = 8), control (n = 6), and sham (n = 8). The sham group underwent transection and the other groups underwent resection of 80% of the small intestine. All rats were then fed enteral nutrition (EN; all diets were isocaloric and isonitrogenous). After 10 d, the rats were sacrificed to measure and analyze animal weight; duodenum, jejunum, and ileum weight; and muscle trophicity. Protein fractional synthesis rate (FSR) and mammalian target of rapamycin complex (mTORC)1 activation were measured in the tibialis muscle. RESULTS There was a significant dose-dependent association between rat weight and citrulline dose up to 2.5 g·kg·d-1 (P = 0.004). There was a significant improvement in tibialis weight correlated to plasma citrulline. Net protein FSR in the tibialis tended to be greater after resection and tended to return to baseline after citrulline supplementation. Citrulline supplementation significantly decreased the activated phosphorylated forms of S6 K1 (P = 0.003) and S6 RP (P = 0.003), with a significant positive association between myofibrillar FSR and activation of S6 K1 (r = 0.614; P = 0.02) and S6 RP (r = 0.601; P = 0.023). Jejunum weight was significantly positively correlated with plasma citrulline (r = 0.319; P = 0.0345). CONCLUSION Citrulline promotes body weight gain, preserves muscle trophicity, and enhances intestinal adaptation in a dose-dependent manner in a model of resected rats.
