Effects of improved amino acid balance diet on lysine mammary utilization, whole body protein turnover and muscle protein breakdown on lactating sows. J Anim Sci Biotechnol 2024; 15:65.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The study objective was to test the hypothesis that low crude protein (CP) diet with crystalline amino acids (CAA) supplementation improves Lys utilization efficiency for milk production and reduces protein turnover and muscle protein breakdown. Eighteen lactating multiparous Yorkshire sows were allotted to 1 of 2 isocaloric diets (10.80 MJ/kg net energy): control (CON; 19.24% CP) and reduced CP with "optimal" AA profile (OPT; 14.00% CP). Sow body weight and backfat were recorded on d 1 and 21 of lactation and piglets were weighed on d 1, 14, 18, and 21 of lactation. Between d 14 and 18, a subset of 9 sows (CON = 4, OPT = 5) was infused with a mixed solution of 3-[methyl-2H3]histidine (bolus injection) and [13C]bicarbonate (priming dose) first, then a constant 2-h [13C]bicarbonate infusion followed by a 6-h primed constant [1-13C]lysine infusion. Serial blood and milk sampling were performed to determine plasma and milk Lys enrichment, Lys oxidation rate, whole body protein turnover, and muscle protein breakdown. RESULTS Over the 21-d lactation period, compared to CON, sows fed OPT had greater litter growth rate (P < 0.05). Compared to CON, sows fed OPT had greater efficiency of Lys (P < 0.05), Lys mammary flux (P < 0.01) and whole-body protein turnover efficiency (P < 0.05). Compared to CON, sows fed OPT tended to have lower whole body protein breakdown rate (P = 0.069). Muscle protein breakdown rate did not differ between OPT and CON (P = 0.197). CONCLUSION Feeding an improved AA balance diet increased efficiency of Lys and reduced whole-body protein turnover and protein breakdown. These results imply that the lower maternal N retention observed in lactating sows fed improved AA balance diets in previous studies may be a result of greater partitioning of AA towards milk rather than greater body protein breakdown.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Alcohol abuse has been reported to have a high prevalence in the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-infected population. However, its impact on disease progression is unknown. Studies dissecting the drug-induced or alcohol-induced metabolic derangements that are likely to alter the course of disease progression are lacking. This is particularly important because of the substantial reduction in morbidity and mortality of patients on highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART). HIV infection has become a more chronic disease during which alcohol-induced metabolic alterations may become more prevalent and pronounced. METHODS The present study used a model of chronic intragastric alcohol administration initiated 3 months before intravenous simian immunodeficiency (SIV) inoculation and continued thereafter throughout the course of SIV infection, to investigate the impact of chronic alcohol binge-like consumption during the initial 10-month asymptomatic phase of SIV infection in nonhuman primate rhesus macaques. Anthropometric, metabolic, biochemical, nutritional, and immune state indicators were examined before infection and at 3-month intervals in asymptomatic chronic alcohol-treated SIV-infected macaques and time-matched isocaloric and uninfected controls. RESULTS Intravenous SIV(DeltaB670) infection resulted in increased viral load, decreased circulating CD4(+)/CD8(+) lymphocyte ratio, and increased lymphocyte proliferation (Ki67/CD3(+)). Chronic alcohol/SIV(+) animals showed a higher viral load at 3 months post-SIV infection as well as a significant and early decrease in caloric intake and nitrogen balance associated with a change in food choice. Rates of skeletal muscle protein synthesis and breakdown, mRNA expression of IGF-I, myostatin, or the ubiquitin ligase muscle atrophy F-box protein (MAFbx) did not differ from basal during the 10-month asymptomatic period of infection. However, muscle TNF-alpha mRNA expression was markedly increased at 10 months post-SIV infection in alcohol/SIV(+) animals. DISCUSSION These findings suggest that chronic alcohol accelerates nutritional and metabolic dysregulation during SIV infection and may favor a skeletal muscle proinflammatory state, possibly conducive to subsequent muscle wasting.

Abstract
UNLABELLED An analytic method based on simulation and modeling of long-term 45Ca(2+) efflux data was used to estimate steady-state Ca(2+) contents (nmolCa(2+)g(-1)tissuewetwt.) and exchange fluxes (nmolCa(2+)min(-1)g(-1)tissuewetwt.) for extracellular and intracellular compartments in in vitro resting diaphragm from congestive heart failure (CHF, n=12) and sham-operated (SHAM, n=10) rats. Left hemidiaphragms were excised from experimental animals, loaded with 45Ca(2+) for 1h, and washed out with 45Ca(2+)-free perfusate for 8h. Tissue from the right hemidiaphragm was used to assess single-fiber cross-sectional area (CSA) as well as the relative proteolytic activity of Ca(2+)-dependent calpain. Kinetic analysis of 45Ca(2+) efflux data revealed that CHF was associated with increased Ca(2+) contents of extracellular and intracellular compartments as well as increased Ca(2+) exchange fluxes for all compartments. This accounted for the model prediction of a 250% increase in total diaphragm Ca(2+). Furthermore, single-fiber CSA was decreased 12% and proteolytic activity of calpain was increased twofold in CHF diaphragm relative to SHAM. CONCLUSIONS The kinetic data are consistent with the hypothesis that diaphragm Ca(2+) overload in CHF required all intercompartmental Ca(2+) fluxes to increase. The potential relationships among Ca(2+) overload, increased activity of calpain, and wasting of the diaphragm in CHF are discussed.

Abstract
Measurement of urinary 3-methylhistidine (3MH) excretion is the primary in vivo method to measure skeletal muscle (myofibrillar) protein breakdown. This method requires quantitative collection of urine and is based on the assumption that no metabolism of 3MH occurs once it is released from actin and myosin. This is true in most species, but in sheep and swine a proportion is retained in muscle as a dipeptide, balenine. In neither of these species does urine 3MH yield any data on the metabolism of 3MH. We have conducted studies that propose that 3MH metabolism in humans, cattle, dogs, swine, and sheep can be defined from a single bolus infusion of a stable isotope 3-[methyl-2H3]-methylhistidine. Following the bolus dose of the stable isotope tracer, serial blood samples and/or urine was collected over three to five days. A minimum of three exponentials were required to describe the plasma decay curve adequately. The kinetic linear-time-invariant models of 3MH metabolism in the whole animal were constructed by using the SAAM/CONSAM modeling program. Three different configurations of a three-compartment model are described: (A) A simple three-compartment model for humans, cattle, and dogs, in which plasma kinetics (3-[methyl-2H3]-MH/3MH) are described by compartment 1 and with one urinary exit from compartment 1. (B) A plasma-urinary kinetic three-compartment model with two exits was used for sheep with a urinary exit out of compartment 1 and a balenine exit out of a tissue compartment 3. (C) A plasma three-compartment model was used in swine with an exit out of a tissue compartment 3. The kinetic parameters reflect the differences in known physiology of humans, cattle, and dogs as compared to sheep and swine that do not quantitatively excrete 3MH into the urine. Steady-state model calculations define masses and fluxes of 3MH between three compartments and, importantly, the de novo production of 3MH. The de novo production of 3MH for humans, cattle, dogs, sheep, and swine are 3.1, 6.0, 12.1, 10.3, and 7.2 mumol x kg-1 x d-1, respectively. The de novo production of 3MH as calculated by the compartmental model was not different when compared to 3MH production as calculated via traditional urinary collection. Additionally, data suggest that steady-state compartment masses and mass transfer rates may be related to fat free mass and muscle mass in humans and swine, respectively. In conclusion, models of 3MH metabolism have been developed in numerous species, and these models can be used for the assessment of muscle proteolysis and 3MH kinetics without the collection of urine. This methodology is less evasive and will be useful in testing further experimental designs that alter myofibrillar protein breakdown.

Abstract
Chronic phrenic tetrodotoxin (TTX) blockade and phrenic denervation (Dnv) of hamster diaphragm result in decreased maximum specific tension, prolonged contraction time, and improved fatigue resistance (W. Z. Zhan and G. C. Sieck, J. Appl. Physiol. 72: 1445-1453, 1992). An underlying increased relative contribution of type I fibers to total muscle mass appears to be consistent with, but does not completely account for, changes in contractile and fatigue properties. The present study was designed to evaluate a potential role for altered cellular Ca2+ metabolism in the adaptive response of the diaphragm to chronic disuse. An analytic method based on simulation and modeling of long-term 45Ca2+ efflux data was used to estimate Ca2+ contents (nmol Ca2+/g wet wt tissue) and exchange fluxes (nmol Ca2+.min-1.g-1) for extracellular and intracellular compartments in the in vitro hamster hemidiaphragm after prolonged disuse. Three groups were compared: control (Con, n = 5), phrenic TTX blockade (TTX, n = 5), and phrenic denervation (Dnv, n = 5). Experimental muscles were loaded with 45Ca2+ for 1 h, and efflux data were collected for 8 h by using a flow-through tissue chamber. Compartmental analysis of efflux data estimated that the Ca2+ contents and Ca2+ exchange fluxes of the largest and slowest intracellular compartment (putative longitudinal reticulum) were reduced by approximately 50% in TTX and Dnv muscle groups compared with Con. In addition, the kinetic model predicted significant decreases in total intracellular Ca2+ and total diaphragm Ca2+ in TTX and Dnv muscles. We conclude that the data support the hypothesis that the capacity of the sarcoplasmic reticulum for Ca2+ sequestration is reduced in chronic diaphragm disuse. The impact of this effect on diaphragm contractile and fatigue properties is discussed.

Abstract
Urinary 3-methylhistidine (3MH) excretion has been proposed as a noninvasive in vivo marker of muscle protein breakdown, but such analysis requires quantitative collection of urine and yields few details about the metabolism of 3MH. In this study, we propose that data from a single bolus dose of tracer and serial blood samples over 72 h can be described by a kinetic model that defines 3MH metabolism in humans. Plasma concentration of the tracer was described by a linear time-invariant three-compartment model. The model defines masses and fluxes of 3MH within the subjects and, in particular, the intracellular de novo production of 3MH. The de novo production of 3MH as calculated by the model was not different from that calculated via the traditional collection of urinary 3MH (3.09 vs 2.57 mumol.kg-1.day-1, respectively; P > 0.30). These data indicate that 3MH production can be measured by a compartmental model that can be used to measure muscle proteolysis without quantitative urine collections.
