Abstract
BACKGROUND Respiratory quotient (RQ) is an important variable when assessing metabolic status in intensive care patients. However, analysis of RQ requires cumbersome technical equipment. The aim of the current study was to examine a simplified blood gas-based method of RQ assessment, using Douglas bag measurement of RQ (Douglas-RQ) as reference in a laboratory porcine model under metabolic steady state. In addition, we aimed at establishing reference values for RQ in the same population, thereby generating data to facilitate further research. METHODS RQ was measured in 11 mechanically ventilated pigs under metabolic steady state using Douglas-RQ and CO-oximetry blood gas analysis of pulmonary artery and systemic carbon dioxide and oxygen content. The CO-oximetry data were used to calculate RQ (blood gas RQ). Paired recordings with both methods were made once in the morning and once in the afternoon and values obtained were analyzed for potential significant differences. RESULTS The average Douglas-RQ, for all data points over the whole day, was 0.97 (95%CI 0.95-0.99). The corresponding blood gas RQ was 0.95 (95%CI 0.87-1.02). There was no statistically significant difference in RQ values obtained using Douglas-RQ or blood gas RQ for all data over the whole day (P = 0.43). Bias was - 0.02 (95% limits of agreement ± 0.3). Douglas-RQ decreased during the day 1.00 (95%CI 0.97-1.03) vs 0.95 (95%CI 0.92-0.98) P < 0.001, whereas the decrease was not significant for blood gas RQ 1.02 (95%CI 0.89-1.16 vs 0.87 (0.80-0.94) P = 0.11. CONCLUSION RQ values obtained with blood gas analysis did not differ statistically, compared to gold standard Douglas bag RQ measurement, showing low bias but relatively large limits of agreement, when analyzed for the whole day. This indicates that a simplified blood gas-based method for RQ estimations may be used as an alternative to gold standard expired gas analysis on a group level, even if individual values may differ. In addition, RQ estimated with Douglas bag analysis of exhaled air, was 0.97 in anesthetized non-fasted pigs and decreased during prolonged anesthesia.

Front Vet Sci 2021; 8:655345. [PMID: 33855059 PMCID: PMC8039318 DOI: 10.3389/fvets.2021.655345] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/18/2021] [Accepted: 03/03/2021] [Indexed: 11/13/2022] Open
Abstract
Three medetomidine-based drug protocols were compared by evaluating time courses, reliability and physiological effects in wild boars. A total of 21 cage-trapped wild boars (Sus scrofa) were immobilized using one of the following drug combinations; MTZ: medetomidine (0.2 mg/kg) + tiletamine-zolazepam (2.0 mg/kg), MK: medetomidine (0.15 mg/kg) + ketamine (5 mg/kg), and MKB: medetomidine (0.1 mg/kg) + ketamine (5.0 mg/kg) + butorphanol (0.2 mg/kg). Induction time, recovery time, and physiological variables were recorded and arterial blood gas analysis measured twice, before and after 15 min of oxygen supplementation (0.5–1.0 L/min). For reversal, 4 mg of atipamezole per mg of medetomidine was administered intramuscularly. The boars recovered in the cage and were released once ataxia resolved. The MK group had significantly longer recovery times (mean 164 min ± 79 SD) compared to the other groups. MKB elicited longer and incomplete induction compared to the other groups (mean induction time 20 min ± 10 SD), decreasing the efficiency of the capture and increasing the risk of hyperthermia. Both ketamine-based protocols required additional ketamine intramuscularly to prolong the anesthesia after 20–40 min from induction. Agreement between the pulse oximeter and the blood gas analyzer was low, with the pulse oximeter underestimating the real values of arterial oxyhemoglobin saturation, particularly at higher readings. Mild acute respiratory acidosis (PaCO2 45–60 mmHg) and mild to moderate hypoxemia (PaO2 69–80 mmHg) occurred in most boars, regardless of the treatment group but especially in the MKB group. The acid-base status improved and hypoxemia resolved in all boars during oxygen supplementation, with the PaO2 rising above the physiological reference range (81.6–107.7 mmHg) in many individuals. MK and MKB induced safe and reliable immobilization of wild boars for at least 20 min. Supplemental oxygen delivery is recommended in order to prevent hypoxemia in wild boars immobilized with the protocols used in the present study. Long and ataxic recoveries occurred in most animals, regardless of the protocol, but especially in the MKB group.

Abstract
Locusts have been reported to elevate metabolic rate in response to high carbohydrate diets; this conclusion was based on metabolic rates calculated from CO2 production, a common practice for insects. However, respiratory exchange ratio (RER, CO2 production divided by O2 consumption) can rise above 1 as a result of de novo lipid synthesis, providing an alternative possible explanation of the prior findings. We studied the relationship between macronutrient ingestion, RER and lipid synthesis using South American locusts (Schistocerca cancellata) reared on artificial diets varying in protein:carbohydrate (p:c) ratio. RER increased and rose above 1 as dietary p:c ratio decreased. Lipid accumulation rates were strongly positively correlated with dietary carbohydrate content and ingestion. RERs above 1 were only observed for animals without food in the respirometry chamber, suggesting that hormonal changes after a meal may drive lipid synthesis. Schistocerca cancellata does not elevate metabolic rate on low p:c diets; in fact, the opposite trend was observed.

Abstract
This experiment used indirect calorimetry to determine the net energy (NE) content of five corn distillers dried grains with solubles (corn DDGS) containing different oil levels and to compare the NE obtained using indirect calorimetry with that calculated using previously published prediction equations. There were two samples of high-oil DDGS, one sample of medium-oil DDGS and two samples of low-oil DDGS. Twelve barrows (initial BW of 32.8 ± 2.0 kg) were used in a repeated 3 × 6 Youden square design with three periods and six diets. The diets were comprised of a corn-soybean meal basal diet and five diets containing 29.25% of one of the corn DDGS added at the expense of corn and soybean meal. During each period, the pigs were individually housed in metabolism crates for 16 days which included 7 days for adaption to feed and environmental conditions. On day 8, the pigs were transferred to respiration chambers and fed one of the six diets at 2300 kJ ME/kg BW0.6 /day. Faeces and urine were collected from day 9 to 13 and heat production (HP) was also measured. From day 14 to 15, the pigs were fed 893 kJ ME/kg BW0.6 /day to allow them to adapt from the fed to the fasted state. On the last day of each period (day 16), the pigs were fasted and fasting HP was measured. The digestible energy value was 16.0, 17.1 and 15.3 MJ/kg DM, the metabolizable energy value was 14.6, 15.5 and 13.7 MJ/kg DM and the NE value was 10.7, 11.0 and 9.4 MJ/kg DM, for the high-oil, medium-oil and low-oil corn DDGS, respectively. The NE obtained with indirect calorimetry in the present study did not differ from values calculated using previously published prediction equations.

Abstract
The objectives of this experiment were 1) to determine if dietary soybean oil (SBO) affects the NE of corn when fed to growing or finishing pigs, 2) to determine if possible effects of dietary SBO on the NE of corn differ between growing and finishing pigs, and 3) to determine effects of SBO on pig growth performance and retention of energy, protein, and lipids. Forty-eight growing (initial BW: 27.3 ± 2.5 kg) and 48 finishing (initial BW: 86.0 ± 3.0 kg) barrows were used, and within each stage of growth, pigs were allotted to 1 of 6 groups. Two groups at each stage of growth served as an initial slaughter group. The remaining 4 groups were randomly assigned to 4 dietary treatments and pigs in these groups were harvested at the conclusion of the experiment. A low-lipid basal diet containing corn, soybean meal, and no added SBO and a high-lipid basal diet containing corn, soybean meal, and 8% SBO were formulated at each stage of growth. Two additional diets at each stage of growth were formulated by mixing 25% corn and 75% of the low-lipid basal diet or 25% corn and 75% of the high-lipid basal diet. Results indicated that addition of SBO had no effects on growth performance, carcass composition, or retention of energy, protein, and lipids but increased (P < 0.05) apparent total tract digestibility of acid hydrolyzed ether extract and GE. Addition of SBO also increased (P < 0.05) DE and NE of diets, but had no effect on the DE and NE of corn. Finishing pigs had greater (P < 0.05) growth performance and retention of energy, protein, and lipids than growing pigs. A greater (P < 0.05) DE and NE of diets was observed for finishing pigs than for growing pigs and the DE and NE of corn was also greater (P < 0.05) for finishing pigs than for growing pigs. In conclusion, addition of SBO increases the DE and NE of diets but has no impact on the DE and NE of corn. Diets fed to finishing pigs have greater DE and NE values than diets fed to growing pigs and the DE and NE of corn are greater for finishing pigs than for growing pigs.

Abstract
A total of 36 Wistar rats were fed a commercial diet to a stipulated live weight of 75 g (Group A), 100 g (Group B) and 225 g (Group C). All rats were measured in energy balance experiments, in which the animals were fed near maintenance level, followed by a period of fasting with measurements of the gas exchange. The rats in Group A, B and C were fasted for 2, 3 and 4 days, respectively. The minimum heat production on the last day of fasting for all groups was proportional to metabolic body weight (kg0.75) with a regression: heat production, kJ day-1 = 321 x kg0.75 (R2 = 0.994). In rats fed near maintenance level, heat production was provided by oxidation of carbohydrates in 80-85%, oxidation of protein was 10-15%, while oxidation of fat contributed less than 10%. It is suggested that in the fasting period, the contribution to the total heat production from oxidized carbohydrate and fat depended on the size of the fat depots, a large fat depot giving rise to fat oxidation. On the last day of fasting, 24, 51 and 90% of the total heat originated from fat oxidation in Group A, B and C, respectively.

Abstract
A study was performed to investigate the effect of environmental temperature (16 degrees C, 24 degrees C or 32 degrees C) and dietary fiber (DF) on energy expenditure and quantitative oxidation of nutrients in rats. Forty-eight male rats, initial body weight 90-105 g, were allocated to eight groups in two series. The rats kept at 24 degrees C was repeated in both series. Low and high fiber diets (56 vs. 257 g DF/kg dry matter) were studied in 6-week balance experiments. The rats in all groups were offered the same amount of air-dried food. Indirect calorimetry was used to measure the energy metabolism. The difference in heat production (HP) calculated by RQ and CN methods was < 2% and was not affected by environmental temperature and DF. The relation between fat and protein oxidation changed from 1.54 to 1.00 when the ambient temperature changed from 16 degrees C to 32 degrees C. The contribution of carbohydrate oxidation to total HP was lowest at 16 degrees C, whereas the fat and protein oxidation was highest at 16 degrees C. The oxidation of nutrients was not influenced by DF. The additional energy retained at the higher temperatures had a constant ratio between fat and protein, i.e., 70:30. At an energy retention of 65.8 kJ/kg0.75 d or less, body fat is mobilized and only protein deposited. Because of higher HP, rats living in the cold environment used more fat as substrate for HP than rats kept in warmer environments. The cold environment results in an increase in the amount of interscapular brown adipose tissue, but no significant difference was found between DF levels.
