| 2 | Dietary cholesterol promotes growth and ecdysone signalling pathway by modulating cholesterol transport in swimming crabs(Portunus trituberculatus)显示文摘Cholesterol,as an indispensable nutrient,regulates molting and growth in crustacean.As crustaceans are unable to biosynthesize cholesterol de novo,it is central to understand how dietary cholesterol affects molting in crustaceans.An 8-week feeding trial was conducted to evaluate the effects of dietary cholesterol level(0.12%,0.43%,0.79%,1.00%,1.30%and 2.50%)on growth,cholesterol metabolism and expression of genes related to lipid and ecdysone metabolism in female swimming crabs(Portunus trituberculatus).A total of 192 crabs(1.41±0.05 g)were randomly distributed into 192 aquaria.Each treatment had 4 replicates with each replicate containing 8 crabs.Crabs fed the 1.00%cholesterol diet showed best growth performance,and thus based on percent weight gain,the optimal dietary cholesterol requirement was calculated at 1.01%.Tissue cholesterol concentrations were positively correlated with dietary cholesterol level.The contents of functional fatty acids in hepatopancreas significantly increased as dietary cholesterol increased from 0.12%to 2.50%(P<0.05).The expression levels of genes related to lipogenesis pathway,lipid catabolism and fatty acid oxidation were significantly downregulated with increased dietary cholesterol level(P<0.05).The highest expression levels of cholesterol transport genes,low-density lipoprotein receptor(ldlr)and low-density lipoprotein receptorrelated protein 2(lrp2)occurred in crabs fed the 1.30%cholesterol diet.Moreover,hormones related to molting such as crustacean hyperglycemic hormone(CHH),methyl farnesoate(MF),molt-inhibiting hormone(MIH),and ecdysone in hemolymph were significantly influenced by dietary cholesterol level(P<0.05).The highest expression levels of ecdysone receptor(ecr)and chitinase 1(chi1)in eyestalk and hepatopancreas were found in crabs fed the diet containing 1.00%cholesterol(P<0.05).In conclusion,the optimal dietary level was beneficial to functional fatty acid accumulation,regulated lipid metabolism,promoted the ecdysone signalling pathway by improving the cholesterol transport,and improved the molting rate and growth of swimming crabs. | Tingting Zhu Qicun Zhou Zheng Yang Yingying Zhang Jiaxiang Luo Xiangsheng Zhang Yuedong Shen Lefei Jiao Douglas R.Tocher Min Jin | 2022 | Animal Nutrition2022,,3: | 1 |
| 3 | High dietary lipid level promotes low salinity adaptation in the marine euryhaline crab(Scylla paramamosain)显示文摘The physiological processes involved in adaptation to osmotic pressure in euryhaline crustaceans are highly energy demanding,but the effects of dietary lipids(fat)on low salinity adaptations have not been well evaluated.In the present study,a total of 120 mud crabs(Scylla paramamosain,BW=17.87±1.49 g)were fed control and high-fat(HF)diets,at both medium salinity(23‰)and low salinity(4‰)for 6 wk,and each treatment had 3 replicates with each replicate containing 10 crabs.The results indicated that a HF diet significantly mitigated the reduction in survival rate,percent weight gain and feed efficiency induced by low salinity(P<0.05).Low salinity lowered lipogenesis and activated lipolysis resulting in lipid depletion in the hepatopancreas of mud crabs(P<0.05).Thus,HF diets enhanced the process of lipolysis to supply more energy.In the gills,low salinity and the HF diet increased the levels of mitochondrial biogenesis markers,the activity of mitochondrial complexes,and the expression levels of genes related to energy metabolism(P<0.05).Consequently,the positive effects of the HF diet on energy metabolism in mud crabs at low salinity promoted osmotic pressure regulation.Specifically,significantly higher haemolymph osmotic pressure and inorganic ion content,as well as higher osmotic pressure regulatory enzyme activity in gills,and gene and protein expression levels of NaK-ATPase were observed in crabs fed the HF diet at low salinity(P<0.05).In summary,high dietary lipid levels improved energy provision to facilitate mitochondrial biogenesis,which increased ATP provision for osmotic pressure regulation of mud crabs.This study also illustrates the importance of dietary lipid nutrition supplementation for low salinity adaptations in mud crabs. | Jiaxiang Luo Chen Ren Tingting Zhu Chen Guo Shichao Xie Yingying Zhang Zheng Yang Wenli Zhao Xiangsheng Zhang Jingjing Lu Lefei Jiao Qicun Zhou Douglas R.Tocher Min Jin | 2023 | Animal Nutrition2023,,1: | 0 |
| 4 | Preliminary Evaluation of Hemodynamic Effects of Fontan Palliation on Renal Artery Using Computational Fluid Dynamics显示文摘Background:The assessment of renal function is important to the prognosis of patients needing Fontan palliation due to the reconstructed compromised circulation.To know the relationship between the kidney perfusion and hemodynamic characteristics during surgical design could reduce the risk of acute kidney injury(AKI)and the postoperative complications.However,the issue is still unsolved because the current clinical evaluation methods are unable to predict the hemodynamic changes in renal artery(RA).Methods:We reconstructed a three-dimensional(3D)vascular model of a patient requiring Fontan palliation.The technique of computational fluid dynamics(CFD)was utilized to explore the changes of RA hemodynamics under different possible blood flow rates.The relationship between the kidney perfusion and hemodynamic characteristics was investigated.Results:The calculated results indicated the declined tendency of the pressure and pressure drop as the flow rate decreased.When the flow rate decreased to two-thirds of its baseline,both the pressure of left renal artery(LRA)and the pressure of right renal artery(RRA)dipped below 50%,and the pressure of RRA fell more quickly than that of LRA.Uneven distribution of WSS was observed on the trunk of RA,and the lowest WSS was found at the distal of RA.The average WSS in RA dropped to around 50%as the flow rate reached one-third of its baseline.Conclusions:As a promising approach,CFD can be utilized to quantitatively evaluate the hemodynamic characteristics of RA and contribute to offsetting the drawbacks of clinical assessments of renal function,to help realize better prognosis for the patients with Fontan palliation. | Jinlong Liu Jing Shi Weiru Luo Zhirong Tong Lefei Yang Peixuan Sun Tianyi Li Jun Du Qian Wang | 2023 | Congenital Heart Disease2023,18,1: | 0 |
