Abstract
Functional corpora lutea (CL) are required for pregnancy establishment and gestational maintenance in swine, and CL function is susceptible to environmental influences. Manganese (Mn) could be critical in regulating CL function since it is a component of the antioxidant enzyme Mn superoxide dismutase (MnSOD) as well as enzymes involved in cholesterol and steroid hormone synthesis. We hypothesized that a more bioavailable dietary Mn source would increase Mn content in the CL thereby influencing luteal function during the mid-luteal phase of the estrous cycle. Postpubertal gilts (n = 32) were assigned to one of four gestation diets. The control diet (CON) met or exceeded National Research Council (2012) requirements and was formulated to contain 20 parts per million (ppm) of added Mn in the form of Mn sulfate. Three additional diets included 20 (treatment [TRT]1), 40 (TRT2), or 60 (TRT3) ppm of added Mn from a Mn-amino acid complex (Availa-Mn; Zinpro Corporation) instead of Mn sulfate. Dietary treatment began at estrus synchronization onset and continued through 12 days post estrus (dpe) of the ensuing estrous cycle. Blood samples were collected at estrus onset, which was assigned as 0 dpe, as well as 4, 8, and 12 dpe. Gilts were euthanized and tissues were collected at 12 dpe. Serum progesterone (P4) increased (P < 0.01) from 0 to 12 dpe but was unaffected by dietary treatment (P = 0.15) and there was no effect of the interaction between day and treatment (P = 0.85). Luteal Mn content increased (P ≤ 0.05) by 19%, 21%, and 24% in gilts fed TRT1, TRT2, and TRT3, respectively, compared to CON. Luteal P4 concentrations decreased (P = 0.03) 25%, 26%, and 32% in gilts fed TRT1, TRT2, and TRT3, respectively, compared to CON. Relative to CON gilts, CL calcium content decreased (P = 0.02) by 36%, 24%, and 34% for TRT1, TRT2, and TRT3 gilts, respectively. Collectively, these data support the hypothesis that feeding a more bioavailable Mn source increases Mn accumulation in CL tissue. If and how this influences CL function may be related to altered luteal P4 concentrations.

Stimulation of ileal calcium absorption by sorbitol, L-xylose, or creatine via a decrease in luminal sodium concentration: relation with concomitant changes in enterocyte energy metabolism.

Abstract
Ligated ileal loops, 30 cm in length, of 4-month-old male Wistar rats were instilled with 3 ml of a 10 mM CaCl2 solution (added with 0.25 muCi 45Ca) in the absence (control) or presence of 100mM sorbitol, L-xylose, or creatine. Ileal calcium (Ca) transport, measured by plasma 45Ca appearance, was found to be similar 30 minutes after fluid instillation in all four instances. However, thereafter, 45Ca appearance in plasma did not increase further in control animals whereas it increased twice as much during the subsequent 30 minutes in the presence of sorbitol, L-xylose, or creatine. However, when loops of similar length were instilled with only 1.0 ml of such solutions, the sorbitol effect was already observed during the first 30 minutes. The stimulation of ileal Ca absorption induced by the presence of sorbitol appeared to be due to a cellular effect, associated with a decreased flux across the paracellular pathway, as indicated by 3H-mannitol absorption. The presence of sorbitol in instilled ileal solution induced a significant decrease in luminal Na, K, bicarbonate, and Cl concentrations at each time point studied (30, 60, 120, or 240 minutes after instillation). Thirty minutes after instillation, no difference in soluble Ca concentration was observed between control and experimental rats. After 60 minutes, Ca concentration was dramatically decreased in control rats but it remained nearly constant in experimental animals. Thus, the presence of substances enhancing ileal Ca transport favored the maintenance of soluble Ca in ileal solution during longer time periods than their absence. In the ileal enterocyte, these substances induced a twofold increase of ATP content compared with controls.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
