Abstract
The production of aluminum (Al) metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) by electrosynthesis using solid-state Al electrodes always faces significant challenges due to the formation of a passivating aluminum oxide layer in the process. Here, we developed a liquid-metal-based method to electrosynthesize an aluminum Al-MOF (MIL-53). This method uses a liquid-state gallium (Ga) anode as a reservoir and activator for a light metal, Al, in the form of Al-Ga alloys that releases Al3+ for the electrosynthesis of Al-MOFs. Introducing Ga into the system inhibits the formation of aluminum oxide passivation layer and promotes the electrochemical reaction for Al-MOF synthesis. The electrosynthesis using liquid Al-Ga alloy is conducted at ambient temperatures for long durations without requiring pretreatment for aluminum oxide removal. We show that the Al-MOF products synthesized from 0.40 wt % Al in liquid Ga lead to the highest crystallinity and possess a specific surface area greater than 800 m2 g-1 and a low capacity for CO2 adsorption that can be used as a potential matrix for CO2/N2 separation. This work provides evidence that employing liquid-metal electrodes offers a viable pathway to circumvent surface passivation effects that inevitably occur when using conventional solid metals. It also introduces an efficient electrosynthesis method based on liquid metals for producing atomically porous materials.

Abstract
The hybrid ultraporous material TIFSIX-Ni ([Ni(pyrazine)2(TiF6)]n) was incorporated into a composite ink for the first time for the three-dimensional (3D) printing of monoliths. The large-scale synthesis of TIFSIX-Ni was completed using two different Ni(II) salts, with CO2 uptakes of 1.90 mmol g-1 achieved using mechanochemically assisted thermal synthesis. The monoliths were then tested for the capture and release of CO2 gas using electric swing adsorption (ESA) under dry and humid conditions. A working capacity of 1.7% was achieved (comparing dynamic data with isotherm data) when a current of 2.1 A was applied for 10 min. The monolith could be cycled repeatedly for 6 h without impacting the performance of the material or loss of capacity. Part of this work explored the improvement of mechanochemically assisted synthetic methods of TIFISX-Ni in reducing the costs associated with large-scale production, allowing for improvements in the overall scale-up and processability of the material for industrial applications.

Abstract
We demonstrate a modular synthesis approach to yield mesoporous carbon-coated anatase (denoted as TiO2/C) nanostructures. Combining polymerization-induced self-assembly (PISA) and reversible addition-fragmentation chain-transfer (RAFT) dispersion polymerization enabled the fabrication of uniform core-shell polymeric nanoreactors with tunable morphologies. The nanoreactors comprised of a poly(2-(dimethylamino)ethyl methacrylate) (PDMAEMA) shell and a poly(benzyl methacrylate) (PBzMA) core. We selected worm-like and vesicular morphologies to guide the nanostructuring of a TiO2 precursor, namely, titanium(IV) bis(ammonium lactato)dihydroxide (TALH). Subsequent carbonization yielded nanocrystalline anatase and simultaneously introduced a porous carbon framework, which also suppressed the crystal growth (∼5 nm crystallites). The as-prepared TiO2/C materials comprised of a porous structure, with large specific surface areas (>85 m2/g) and various carbon contents (20-30 wt %). As anode components in lithium-ion batteries, our TiO2/C nanomaterials improved the cycling stability, facilitated high overall capacities, and minimized the capacity loss compared to both their sans carbon and commercial anatase analogues.

Abstract
A new metal-organic framework (MOF) containing a Mn(II) salen complex (BET surface area = 967 ± 6 m2 g-1) undergoes a reversible crystalline-to-amorphous transformation. Experimental studies and computational calculations show that the MOF is stable to a one-electron reduction at more anodic potentials than the corresponding discrete complex.

Abstract
Innovative and robust photosensitisation materials play a cardinal role in advancing the combined effort towards efficient solar energy harvesting. Here, we demonstrate the photocathode functionality of a Metal-Organic Framework (MOF) featuring cofacial pairs of photo- and electro-active 1,4,5,8-naphthalenediimide (NDI) ligands, which was successfully applied to markedly reduce the overpotential required for CO2 reduction to CO by a well-known rhenium molecular electrocatalyst. Reduction of [Cd(DPNDI)(TDC)] n (DPNDI = N,N'-di(4-pyridyl)-1,4,5,8-naphthalenediimide, H2TDC = thiophene-2,5-dicarboxylic acid) to its mixed-valence state induces through-space Intervalence Charge Transfer (IVCT) within cofacial DPNDI units. Irradiation of the mixed-valence MOF in the visible region generates a DPNDI photoexcited radical monoanion state, which is stabilised as a persistent species by the inherent IVCT interactions and has been rationalised using Density Functional Theory (DFT). This photoexcited radical monoanion state was able to undergo charge transfer (CT) reduction of the rhenium molecular electrocatalyst to effect CO generation at a lower overpotential than that required by the discrete electrocatalyst itself. The exploitation of cofacial MOFs opens new directions for the design philosophy behind light harvesting materials.

Abstract
Porous organic polymers (POPs) represent interesting candidate materials for carbon dioxide (CO2) adsorption applications owing to the permanently porous nature of the structures and the ability to vary metalloligand centres that can be incorporated as a potential means of property tuning. This work reports the synthesis and characterisation of four transition metal complexes (using M=Mn, Ni, Fe, and Pd) of the bis-bromo salen ligand, and the incorporation of these complexes into POPs with tris-(p-ethynyl)-triphenylamine to yield metallated polymers (POPMn, POPNi, POPFe, and POPPd). The POPs were shown to possess Brunauer–Emmett–Teller (BET) surface areas of up to 650m2g−1. Overall, this work provides further insight into the potential of permanently porous polymeric materials in post-combustion capture applications.

Abstract
This paper reports the CO2 electroreduction properties of three bis-bromo Co(iii) salen metal complexes and their Porous Organic Polymers (POPs) as a platform for using the salen core as a multi-electron reducing agent. Although Co(iii) salen metal complexes have been studied extensively for their chemical catalysis with CO2, their electrochemical behaviour, particularly their reduction, in the presence of CO2 is much less explored. The discrete Co(iii) complexes enabled the reduction of CO2 to CO in faradaic efficiencies of up to 20%. The reductive electrochemical processes of Co(iii) salen complexes are relatively unknown; therefore, the mechanism of reduction for the complexes was investigated using IR and UV-Vis-NIR spectroelectrochemical (SEC) techniques. The discrete bis-bromo salen complexes were incorporated into POPs with tris-(p-ethynyl)-triphenylamine as a co-ligand and were characterised using solid state NMR, IR, UV-Vis-NIR and Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscopy (FE-SEM). The POP materials were electrophoretically deposited onto glassy carbon under milder conditions than those previously reported in the literature. Direct attachment of the POP materials to glassy carbon enabled improved solid state electrochemical analysis of the samples. The POP materials were also analysed via SEC techniques, where a Co(ii/i) process could be observed, but further reductions associated with the imine reduction compromised the stability of the POPs. We report the synthesis, characterisation and electrochemistry of Co(iii) salen metal complexes and their porous organic polymers for CO2 electroreduction.![]()

Abstract
A new three-dimensional coordination framework, [Zn4(tbazip)3(bpe)2(OH)2]·bpe·{solvent} (where bpe = 1,2-di(4-pyridyl)ethene) containing the novel photoactive ligand tbazip (tbazip = 5-((4-tert-butyl)phenylazo)isophthalic acid) has been synthesised and crystallographically characterised. The photoactivity of discrete tbazip was investigated and compared with its photoactivity while incorporated within the framework. The effect of isomerisation of the incorporated azobenzene on the chemical and physical properties of the framework were investigated using UV-vis and Raman spectroscopies. The framework is porous only to hydrogen gas at 77 K, but displayed an appreciable uptake for CO2 at 195 K.

Abstract
The mammalian stress response is an integrated physiological and psychological reaction to real or perceived adversity. Glucocorticoids are an important component of this response, acting to redistribute energy resources to both optimize survival in the face of challenge and to restore homeostasis after the immediate challenge has subsided. Release of glucocorticoids is mediated by the hypothalamo-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis, driven by a neural signal originating in the paraventricular nucleus (PVN). Stress levels of glucocorticoids bind to glucocorticoid receptors in multiple body compartments, including the brain, and consequently have wide-reaching actions. For this reason, glucocorticoids serve a vital function in negative feedback inhibition of their own secretion. Negative feedback inhibition is mediated by a diverse collection of mechanisms, including fast, non-genomic feedback at the level of the PVN, stress-shut-off at the level of the limbic system, and attenuation of ascending excitatory input through destabilization of mRNAs encoding neuropeptide drivers of the HPA axis. In addition, there is evidence that glucocorticoids participate in stress activation via feed-forward mechanisms at the level of the amygdala. Feedback deficits are associated with numerous disease states, underscoring the necessity for adequate control of glucocorticoid homeostasis. Thus, rather than having a single, defined feedback ‘switch’, control of the stress response requires a wide-reaching feedback ‘network’ that coordinates HPA activity to suit the overall needs of multiple body systems.

Abstract
Dysfunction in central glucocorticoid signaling is implicated in hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenocortical (HPA) axis dysregulation and major depression. In comparison with men, women are twice as likely to suffer from depression and have heightened HPA axis responses to stress. We hypothesized that this striking increase in stress vulnerability in females may be because of sex differences in central glucocorticoid signaling. The current study tests the role of the forebrain type II glucocorticoid receptor (GR) on HPA axis function in female mice and depression-like behavior in both female and male mice. This was accomplished by using mice with selective deletion of GR in forebrain cortico-limbic sites including the prefrontal cortex, hippocampus, and basolateral amygdala (forebrain glucocorticoid receptor knockout mouse (FBGRKO)). In order to examine HPA axis function in female FBGRKO, we measured nadir, peak circadian and restraint-induced corticosterone concentrations in female FBGRKO. The data indicate that unlike male FBGRKO, basal and stress-induced corticosterone concentrations are not increased in female FBGRKO. Given the pronounced effect of central glucocorticoid signaling on mood, we also examined the necessity of corticolimbic GR on depression-like behavior with the sucrose preference and forced swim tests (FST) in male and female FBGRKO mice. Consistent with previous studies, male FBGRKO displayed increased depression-like behavior as indicated by greater immobility in the FST and decreased sucrose preference compared with littermate controls, effects that were not observed in females. Overall the findings indicate a marked sex difference in the function of forebrain GR on HPA axis regulation and depression-like behaviors, and may have implications for therapeutic approaches using GR-modulating drugs.

Abstract
AIMS/HYPOTHESIS Obesity and type 2 diabetes are among the most serious health pathologies worldwide. Stress has been proposed as a factor contributing to the development of these health risk factors; however, the underlying mechanisms that link stress to obesity and diabetes need to be further clarified. Here, we study in mice how chronic stress affects dietary consumption and how that relationship contributes to obesity and diabetes. METHODS C57BL/6J mice were subjected to chronic variable stress (CVS) for 15 days and subsequently fed with a standard chow or high-fat diet. Food intake, body weight, respiratory quotient, energy expenditure and spontaneous physical activity were measured with a customised calorimetric system and body composition was measured with nuclear magnetic resonance. A glucose tolerance test was also applied and blood glucose levels were measured with a glucometer. Plasma levels of adiponectin and resistin were measured using Lincoplex kits. RESULTS Mice under CVS and fed with a high-fat diet showed impaired glucose tolerance associated with low plasma adiponectin:resistin ratios. CONCLUSIONS/INTERPRETATION This study demonstrates, in a novel mouse model, how post-traumatic stress disorder enhances vulnerability for impaired glucose metabolism in an energy-rich environment and proposes a potential adipokine-based mechanism.

Abstract
Stress pathologies such as depression and eating disorders (i.e. anorexia nervosa) are associated with amygdalar dysfunction, which are linked with hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis (HPA) axis hyperactivity. The medial amygdaloid nucleus (MeA), a key output nucleus of the amygdaloid complex, promotes HPA axis activation to acute psychogenic stress and is in a prime position to mediate the deleterious effects of chronic stress on physiology and behaviour. The present study tests the hypothesis that the MeA is necessary for the development of maladaptive physiological changes caused by prolonged stress exposure. Male rats received bilateral ibotenate or sham lesions targeting the MeA and one half underwent 2 weeks of chronic variable stress (CVS) or served as home cage controls. Sixteen hours post CVS, all animals were exposed to an acute restraint challenge. CVS induced thymic involution, adrenal hypertrophy, and attenuated body weight gain and up-regulation of hypothalamic corticotrophin-releasing hormone mRNA expression. Consistent with previous literature, lesions of the MeA dampened stress-induced increases in corticosterone after 30 min of exposure to acute restraint stress. However, this effect was independent of CVS exposure, suggesting that the MeA may not be critical for modulating neuroendocrine responses after chronic HPA axis drive. Interestingly, lesion of the MeA modestly exaggerated the stress-induced attenuation of weight gain. Overall, the data obtained suggest that the MeA modulates the neuroendocrine responses to acute but not chronic stress. In addition, the data suggest that the MeA may be an important neural component for the control of body weight in the face of chronic stress.

Abstract
Forty crossbred beef steers (243 +/- 2 kg of BW) with ruminal and abomasal infusion catheters were used to test 2 hypotheses: 1) visceral mass is responsive to energy input and site of carbohydrate (CHO) infusion and 2) rate and site of adipose accretion are dependent on site of CHO infusion and complexity. Treatments included a pelleted, forage-based, basal diet fed at 161 (LI) or 214 (HI) kcal of ME/(kg of BW(0.75) x d), LI plus ruminal (R-SH) or abomasal (A-SH) infusion of a partial starch hydrolysate (SH), and LI plus abomasal infusion of glucose (A-G). The basal diet was fed in 12 equal portions daily at 2-h intervals, with starch and glucose infused over a 22-h period at rates of 12.6 and 14.4 g/(kg of BW(0.75) x d). After 35 d of infusion, steers were slaughtered; and visceral organ and adipose mass, subcutaneous adipose thickness over the 5th and 12th rib, and LM intramuscular fat concentration were determined. Total intake energy (IE) increased (P = 0.0001) with ME intake. Dietary IE was similar between LI and CHO treatments, but total IE increased (P < 0.001) with CHO infusion. Greater dietary ME intake and CHO infusion increased or tended (P < or = 0.09) to increase final BW and HCW. As a percentage of empty BW, total stomach complex, rumen, omasum, liver, pancreas, and kidney weights were greater (P < or = 0.05) for HI vs. LI. Stomach complex, rumen, pancreas, and kidney weights as a percentage of empty BW were greater (P < or = 0.05) for R-SH vs. A-SH. Compared with ASH, A-G increased (P < or = 0.02) total and mucosal weights from the 10-cm sections of the ileum. Increases in rumen mass were associated with no change or an increase in rumen total and mucosal DNA concentrations. Greater dietary ME tended (P = 0.06) to increase subcutaneous fat thickness at the 5th rib but did not affect alimentary adipose accretion on an empty BW basis. Omental and total alimentary adipose weights were increased (P < or = 0.04) by A-G compared with A-SH. Although SH infusion did not alter adiposity, there was a consistent numerical pattern in total alimentary and subcutaneous fat depots with CHO infusion (A-G > ASH > R-SH). Our findings demonstrate that increasing ruminal CHO supply results in a disproportionate increase in rumen mass, whereas increasing small intestinal CHO supply does not alter gastrointestinal organ mass. Small intestinal energy in the form of glucose resulted in greater adipose accretion, particularly the omental depot.

Abstract
A real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) assay was evaluated to detect Salmonella in hydrodynamic pressure (HDP)-treated chicken using molecular beacon probes available as a commercial kit (iQ-Check, Bio-Rad Laboratories). The sensitivity and accuracy of the assay were compared with the conventional USDA microbiological procedure using artificially contaminated minced chicken. Chicken fillets were irradiated at 10 kGy to completely destroy any naturally occurring Salmonella. These fillets were minced and inoculated with as low as 2+/-1 cfu of S. typhimurium per 25 g chicken. The minced chicken samples were vacuum packed in multi-layer barrier bags, heat shrunk, and treated with HDP. Results showed that all inoculated samples (n=36) were detected by the PCR assay and conventional USDA procedure. Similarly, all uninoculated controls (n=11) were negative by both PCR assay and USDA procedure. As few as 2+/-1 cfu could be detected from 25 g HDP-treated chicken following 16-18 h enrichment in buffered peptone water. Real-time PCR proved to be an effective method for Salmonella detection in HDP-treated chicken with high sensitivity and more importantly, a rapid and high-throughput detection in 18 h, compared to 3-8 days for the conventional microbiological methods. HDP treatment, which has been reported to reduce spoilage bacteria in various meats, was unable to kill pathogenic Salmonella in minced chicken.

Abstract
Myostatin, a member of the TGF-beta family, negatively regulates skeletal muscle development. Depression of myostatin activity leads to increased muscle growth and carcass lean yield. In an attempt to down-regulate myostatin, transgenic mice were produced with a ribozyme-based construct or a myostatin pro domain construct. Though the expression of the ribozyme was detected, muscle development was not altered by the ribozyme transgene. However, a dramatic muscling phenotype was observed in transgenic mice carrying the myostatin pro domain gene. Expression of the pro domain transgene at 5% of beta-actin mRNA levels resulted in a 17-30% increase in body weight (P < 0.001). The carcass weight of the transgenic mice showed a 22-44% increase compared with nontransgenic littermates at 9 weeks of age (16.05 +/- 0.67 vs. 11.16 +/- 0.28 g in males; 9.99 +/- 0.38 vs. 8.19 +/- 0.19 g in females, P < 0.001). Extreme muscling was present throughout the whole carcass of transgenic mice as hind and fore limbs and trunk weights, all increased significantly (P < 0.001). Epididymal fat pad weight, an indicator of body fat, was significantly decreased in pro domain transgenic mice (P < 0.001). Analysis of muscle morphology indicated that cross-sectional areas of fast-glycolytic fibers (gastrocnemius) and fast-oxidative glycolytic fibers (tibialis) were larger in pro domain transgenic mice than in their controls (P < 0.01), whereas fiber number (gastrocnemius) was not different (P > 0.05). Thus, the muscular phenotype is attributable to myofiber hypertrophy rather than hyperplasia. The results of this study suggest that the over-expression of myostatin pro domain may provide an alternative to myostatin knockouts as a means of increasing muscle mass in other mammals.

Abstract
The objective of this study was to determine the effect of recombinant bovine somatotropin (rbST) on muscle fiber histology and histochemistry in creep-fed beef steers. Crossbred steer calves were assigned to one of two treatment groups: control (sham-injected; n = 12) or rbST-injected (0.09 mg x kg(-1) x d(-1); n = 12). Calves were injected every 14 d starting at d 28 of age until weaning at 205 d of age. Biopsies of the semitendinosus muscle were performed on d 100, and slaughter samples of semitendinosus muscle were collected for muscle fiber analyses on d 206. The rbST-treated calves had larger (P = 0.045) fast-twitch-glycolytic (FG) fibers [2,564 +/- 10 vs 2,351 +/- 11 microm2 cross-sectional area, respectively] than controls. No differences (P = 0.36) between rbST-treated and control steers in cross-sectional area were detected for slow-twitch-oxidative (SO) [1,192 +/- 20 vs 1,148 +/- 22 microm2, respectively] or fast-twitch-oxidative-glycolytic (FOG) fibers [1,484 +/- 35 vs 1,403 +/- 38 microm2, respectively]. The percentage distribution for FOG fibers was greater for control calves than for the rbST-treated calves (38.4 vs 34.9 +/- 0.1%, respectively; P = 0.014), whereas the percentage distribution for FG fibers was greater in the rbST-treated calves than for control calves (53.5 vs 48.4 +/- 0.2%, respectively; P = 0.03). The percentage distribution for SO fibers tended to be greater for the control calves than for the rbST-treated calves (13.1 vs 11.7 +/- 0.1%, respectively; P = 0.07). The percentage of FG fibers increased with age (45.4 vs 56.6 +/- 0.8%, respectively; P = 0.001), whereas the percentage distribution of SO (14.3 vs 10.5 +/- 0.5%, respectively) and FOG fibers (40.3 vs 32.9 +/- 0.7%, respectively) decreased (P = 0.001) from d 100 to d 206. The increased longissimus muscle area and dissectable lean tissue in rbST-treated calves are associated with a greater percentage of FG fibers, which possess larger cross-sectional areas than the other fibers.

Abstract
We previously reported that broilers fed n-methyl-D,L-aspartate (NMA) exhibited enhanced feed conversion efficiency and decreased percentage of fat in carcasses. In this experiment, growth performance and backfat thickness were evaluated in barrows fed NMA. Poland China x Yorkshire barrows weighing 68.8 +/- 1.7 kg (mean +/- SE) were allowed ad libitum access to feed containing NMA at levels of either 0 (n = 7), 100 (n = 6), 200 (n = 8), or 300 (n = 8) mg/kg for 36 d. Barrows were slaughtered at 99.5 +/- 2.3 kg BW. There was no effect (P > 0.1) of NMA on ADG or feed consumption. Gain:feed ratio decreased (P < 0.03) in a linear fashion with increasing level of NMA. There was a cubic effect (P < 0.05) of NMA treatment on first-rib backfat thickness. In response to graded levels of NMA, backfat thickness at the 10th rib (P < 0.08) and last rib (P < 0.03) increased in a linear fashion. The NMA had no effect (P > 0.1) on backfat thickness measured at the lumbar vertebra or longissimus muscle area measured at the 10th rib interface. The percentage of lean in the carcass decreased in a linear fashion (P < 0.05) in response to increasing levels of NMA in the diet. In summary, NMA had an overall negative effect on growth performance and carcass yield characteristics in barrows. The dichotomous effects of NMA on feed efficiency and body composition in poultry and swine warrants further scrutiny.

Abstract
Our first objective was to determine the effects of explosive amount and distance of the explosive to the meat surface in the Hydrodyne process on broiler breast tenderness. Early deboned (EB) breasts were removed immediately after initial chill (45 min postmortem), stored for 24 h (4 C), and subjected to one of four Hydrodyne treatments (200 g at 20 cm, 350 g at 23 cm, 275 g at 20 cm, or 350 g at 20 cm). Breasts were water-cooked (78 C internal). Hydrodyne treatment (HYD) of 350 g at 20 cm produced the greatest reduction (28.3%) in Warner-Bratzler shear (WBS, 1.9-cm wide strips). This combination was the only treatment to improve tenderness (peak force 4.3 kg) to a level equivalent (P > 0.05) to aged controls (CA; peak force 3.1 kg). The second objective was to determine the quality and sensory characteristics of Hydrodyne-treated (350 g explosive at 20 cm) broiler breasts as compared with CA and EB. The WBS values (1.0-cm wide and thick strips) for CA (1.56 kg) were different from both HYD (3.7 kg) and EB breasts (4.7 kg). The CA resulted in more tender, flavorful, and juicer breasts than EB and HYD. The EB was higher in initial moisture release than HYD. The EB breasts with tenderness problems can be tenderized by the Hydrodyne process based on WBS results. However, higher levels of explosive may be required to optimize the tenderness improvement of EB breasts that vary significantly in initial tenderness.

Abstract
Highly sensitive enzyme assays developed to differentiate skeletal muscle fibers allow the recognition of three main fiber types: slow-twitch oxidative (SO), fast-twitch oxidative glycolytic (FOG), and fast-twitch glycolytic (FG). Myosin, the predominant contractile protein in mammalian skeletal muscle, can be separated based on the electrophoretic mobility under nondissociating conditions into SM2, SM1, IM, FM3, and FM2 isoforms, or under dissociating conditions into myosin heavy chain (MHC) I, IIb, IIx/d, and IIa. The purpose of the present study was to determine whether the histochemical method of differentiation of fiber types is consistent with the electrophoretically identified isomyosin and MHC isoforms. These comparisons were made using serratus ventralis (SV), gluteus medius (GM), and longissimus muscles (LM) from 13 pigs. Two calculation methods for the histochemical assessed fiber type distribution were adopted. The first method incorporated the number of fibers counted for each fiber type and calculated a percentage of the total fiber number (fiber number percentage: FNP). The second method expressed the cross-sectional area of each fiber type as a percentage of the total fiber area measured per muscle (fiber area percentage: FAP). Independent of the calculation methods, correlation analyses revealed in all muscles a strong relation between SO fibers, the slow isomyosin (SM1 and SM2), and MHCI, as well as between the FG fibers, the fast isomyosin (FM3 and FM2), and MHCIIx/b content (P<.05). There were no correlations between FOG fiber population assessed by histochemical analysis and intermediate isoform (IM) or MHCIIa content. The present results did not provide conclusive evidence as to which of the calculation methods (FNP or FAP) was more closely related to myosin composition of skeletal muscles. Despite some incompatibility between the methods, the present study shows that histochemical as well as electrophoretic analyses yielded important information about the composition of porcine skeletal muscle. The combination of the two methods may be essential to accurately characterize porcine skeletal muscles.

Abstract
Paired, boneless pork loin muscles were obtained from 76 market hogs to evaluate tenderness, meat quality characteristics, sensory attributes, and microbial characterization of pork muscle exposed to the Hydrodyne Process (H) compared with untreated control (C) loin. A subset of 16 paired loins was randomly selected for use in sensory evaluation and microbial characterization. Loins were vacuum packaged and immersed in a heat shrink tank prior to the H treatment. The Hydrodyne treatment exposed the loin to the pressure equivalent of a 150-g explosive, generating a pressure distribution of approximately 703 kg/cm2 at the surface of the samples. Meat quality assessments taken following treatment included subjective color, firmness/wetness, marbling scores (1 to 5 scale), Minolta reflectance and color readings, drip loss, and lipid content. The P-value for statistical significance for main effects and interactions was set at <.05 in all analyses. Administration of H resulted in a 17% improvement in Warner-Bratzler shear force (2.69 vs. 3.24 kg), with the shear force similar at two end-point cooking times (11 and 16 min) corresponding to approximately 75 and 83 degrees C, respectively. No differences between H and C were observed for color score, firmness score, Minolta L, Minolta Y, or drip loss on uncooked samples. The H loins had lower marbling scores (P<.05) and intramuscular lipid (P<.05) content than the paired C loin. Sensory evaluation on the randomly selected (n = 16) paired loins samples showed no improvement in Warner-Bratzler shear force. Sensory panelists were also unable to detect a difference between H and C loins for both initial and sustained tenderness scores. No differences between H and C loins were found for pork flavor, off-flavor, cohesiveness, or number of chews before swallowing, but H loins had a significantly lower juiciness score and more cooking loss than C loins. Microbial analysis results showed no differences in coliform bacteria counts, aerobic plate counts, and no detectable levels of Escherichia coli bacteria in any loins. The findings support the ability of the Hydrodyne procedure to improve tenderness without impacting other muscle quality attributes of pork.

Abstract
Beef steer carcasses from three 2 x 2 factorial feeding experiments (Exp. 1, 20 carcasses; Exp. 2 and 3, 19 carcasses each) were evaluated to study the influence of supplementing with roasted soybeans (RSB; 127 degrees C for 10 min) vs soybean meal (SBM) and implanting with the estrogenic growth promoter Synovex-S (SYN, 20 mg estradiol benzoate and 200 mg progesterone) on carcass merit, composition of dissected 9-10-11th rib section, estimated edible carcass composition, and cooking characteristics of strip loin steaks. In all experiments, steers were fed diets consisting of 15% corn silage, 15% orchardgrass silage, and 70% corn-based concentrate. There were no treatment interactions found in this study. Final BW averaged 480.4, 498.5, and 500.7 kg for Exp. 1, 2, and 3, respectively, and hot carcass weights averaged 288.4, 296.4, and 309.1 kg. Across experiments, hot carcass weight was 8.3 kg less (P < .03) for RSB steers than for SBM steers. Fat weight (P < .01) and percentage of fat (P < .01) were less and percentage of bone (P < .04) was greater in the 9-10-11th rib section of RSB steers than of SBM steers. Estimated percentage of fat (P < .02) was less and percentage of bone (P < .04) was greater in edible carcass of RSB steers than in that of SBM steers. Total 9-10-11th rib section weight tended to be less for RSB steers (P < .08) than for SBM steers. Carcass merit measurements were not affected (P > .10) by supplement, but numerically the percentage of kidney, pelvic, and heart fat was 11% greater for RSB steers than for SBM steers in Exp. 2 and 3. Final BW and carcass weight were 38.7 and 22.6 kg greater (P < .01), respectively, for SYN-implanted steers than for steers not implanted. Longissimus muscle area was greater (P < .01), percentage of kidney, pelvic, and heart fat (P < .02) was less, USDA quality grade tended to be less (P < .09), and shear force of strip loin was greater (P < .01) for SYN-implanted steers than for steers not implanted. The 9-10-11th rib section and estimated carcass compositions were not different (P > .10) between SYN-implanted steers and steers not implanted but reflected a somewhat leaner carcass. The authors conclude from this study that in feedlot steers, either implanted or not implanted, there is no benefit from supplementing with RSB in place of SBM, and that the use of RSB in place of SBM in feedlot diets may reduce the amount of edible carcass.

Abstract
In Exp. 1, 72 Targhee lambs (initial BW 22.1+/-.3 kg) were used to determine the effects of energy source (alfalfa pasture vs limit-fed, all-concentrate) and ionophore addition on performance, visceral organ mass, and carcass characteristics. There were no differences (P > . 10) in ADG or gain/ feed due to ionophore supplementation. Lambs that grazed alfalfa had greater (P < .05) liver, omasum, abomasum, small intestine, cecum, and large intestine weights than did lambs fed the concentrate diet. Lambs fed the concentrate diet had greater (P < .01) hot carcass weights, larger (P < .01) loin eye areas, and greater (P < .001) dressing percentages than lambs that grazed alfalfa. In Exp. 2, lambs offered the concentrate diet had greater (P < .001) DM and OM digestibilities than lambs offered alfalfa (89.5 and 91.1 vs 72.4 and 74.2%, respectively). Apparent and true N digestibilities were greater (P < .001) for the concentrate diet than for alfalfa (90.9 and 101.7 vs 77.7 and 91.9%, respectively). Likewise, grams of N retained per day were twice as great (P < .001) with the concentrate diet than with alfalfa (14.9 vs 6.0 g/ d). The greater visceral organ mass and resulting increases in energy and protein requirements in lambs that grazed alfalfa were probably responsible for the lesser hot carcass weight and dressing percentage compared with lambs fed 100% concentrate.

Abstract
Consumers continue to desire leaner meats. Lambs expressing the callipyge gene have been identified as having superior, leaner carcasses compared with normally muscled lambs. However, the longissimus muscle, a major merchandised muscle in lamb, has repeatedly been shown to be significantly less tender in callipyge lamb compared with normally muscled lambs. Preharvest factors, such as genetics, sex, and production/management practices, have thus far shown no promise at alleviating this tenderness problem. But a number of postharvest interventions have been introduced to alleviate it. Included among the strategies are postmortem aging, carcass electrical stimulation, the combination of freezing and thawing before aging, calcium chloride injection, and the Hydrodyne process. These strategies have exhibited various degrees of success. Postharvest strategies to improve callipyge longissimus tenderness are described in this article.

Abstract
We conducted this study to determine whether the growth responses of specific skeletal muscles in crossbred beef steers were differentially affected by treatment with recombinant bovine growth hormone (Somavubove, SbV, .1 mg/kg BW, i.m., daily), Synovex-S (200 mg progesterone + 20 mg 17-beta estradiol benzoate, SYN, ear implant), or a combination of the two. Starting body weights of steers averaged 182+/-1.8 kg. Five steers were used at this average BW to obtain data on weight and composition of individual muscles at d 0, and 20 other steers were assigned in equal numbers to control (C, no implant and placebo daily injection), SYN, SbV, and SYN + SbV treatment groups. After 56 d of treatment with placebo or growth promoters, complete rectus femoris (RF), triceps brachii (TB), supraspinatus (SS), psoas major (PM), and semitendinosus (ST) muscles were dissected, weighed, and then ground for determination of moisture, total protein, and fat. To calculate the average daily muscle wet weight, protein, and fat gains, the initial weight, protein content, and fat content of a muscle were subtracted from those obtained at slaughter and the difference divided by 56. Muscle weight was increased over C in TB and SS by SYN (P < .1); in TB by SbV (P < .09); and in RF (P < .05), TB (P < .03), and SS (P < .03) by SYN + SbV. Overall average daily wet tissue gain was increased over C by SbV + SYN (P < .05) in RF, TB, and SS. Average daily protein gain in RF and TB was increased by SYN (P < .1), SbV (P < .06), and SYN + SbV (P < .01) over that calculated for C. For RF, TB, and SS, average daily protein gain was greater (P < . 1) in SbV + SYN than that obtained with SbV or SYN alone. These data suggest that administration of growth promoters, such as somatotropin and Synovex, to cattle differentially affects growth characteristics in certain muscles and can have additive effects on protein gain when used together.

Abstract
Treatment by hydrodynamic pressure is an attractive alternative for meat tenderization and might also have an effect on foodborne pathogens. Numbers of Trichinella spiralis recovered from infected pork were significantly reduced by treatment with the Hydrodyne process, as compared with untreated, infected pork. However, treatment with the hydrodynamic force described in this paper (55 to 60 MPa) did not eliminate the infectivity of this parasite when the larvae from Hydrodyne-treated meat were inoculated into mice.

Abstract
An ovine metallothionein-1a (oMT1a)-ovine growth hormone (oGH) fusion gene was microinjected into 400 pig zygotes, the zygotes were transferred into recipient females, and 15 founder transgenic pigs were born. Of 12 transgenic pigs assayed, five expressed high levels of oGH (> 900 ng/mL plasma), one expressed low levels of oGH (10 to 30 ng/mL), and six did not express oGH. Dietary supplementation with 2,000 ppm of zinc for 6 d induced a 20-fold increase in plasma oGH in the transgenic pig with low expression but did not induce expression in the six transgenic pigs with no constitutive oGH expression. The average daily gain of five transgenic pigs with elevated oGH was similar to that of non-transgenic littermates during a 9-wk feeding trial (P = .52). The liver, kidney, adrenal, and thyroid weights were all significantly heavier for the oGH-expressing transgenic pigs than for non-transgenic littermates. Total carcass fat, longissimus muscle fat, subcutaneous backfat thickness, and loin eye area were lower and carcass protein and water content and beta R fiber area of longissimus muscle were higher in the transgenic pigs with elevated oGH than in their littermate controls (P < .05 for each). The data indicate that even though the oMT1a promoter was more inducible by zinc than was previously reported for the mouse MT promoter in swine, the former provided a higher level of oGH expression than the mouse MT promoter.

Abstract
The organoleptic trait most affecting consumer acceptance of beef is tenderness. The Hydrodyne process uses a small amount of explosive to generate a shock wave in water. The shock wave passes through (in fractions of a millisecond) objects in the water that are an acoustic match with water. Four beef muscles (longissimus, semimembranosus, biceps femoris, and semitendinosus) exposed to either 50, 75, or 100 g of explosives were significantly tenderized compared with controls. As much as a 72% reduction in shear force was observed for the longissimus muscle using 100 g of explosives. Reductions in shear force with magnitudes of 30 to 59% improvements were observed for the other three muscle types. Results suggest that tenderizing beef with the Hydrodyne process presents a potentially novel opportunity in the way the meat industry can tenderize meat.

Abstract
The influence of Synovex-S (SYN) ear implant (200 mg progesterone and 20 mg estradiol benzoate) and Somavubove (SbV) recombinant bovine growth hormone (.1 mg/kg BW i.m., daily) on live animal performance, tissue growth, and the partitioning of energy gain was determined using a slaughter-balance protocol with 25 young MARC II x (Angus-Hereford crossbred) beef steers (initial BW 182 +/- 1.8 kg). Following 21 d of adjustment to individual pens and to a diet of 80% concentrate and 20% corn-grass (1:1) silages, five groups of five steers per group were assigned to initial slaughter or a 2 x 2 factorial arrangement of treatments of CTL (no implant + daily placebo i.m. injection of bicarbonate-saline), SYN (implant + placebo), SbV, or SYN + SbV and slaughtered at 56 d on treatment. Steers were fed (per kilogram BW.75 daily) 20 g of CP and 252 Kcal of ME and consumed 5.5 +/- .07 kg/d DM across treatments. Empty body and carcass gains were affected (SYN, P < .01; SbV, P < .01) by treatments (CTL, SYN, SbV, and SYN + SbV: 1.26, 1.43, 1.63, 1.78 kg/d, SEM = .05, and .78, .97, .97, 1.08 kg/d, SEM = .04, respectively). Noncarcass gain was .45, .48, .60, and .60 kg/d (SEM = .03; SbV, P < .01). For empty body, both protein and water gains were greater for SYN-implanted steers (P < .05) than for steers not implanted and for SbV-injected steers (P < .01) than for placebo-injected steers. Treatments did not influence the efficiency of energy gain. The proportional amount of energy deposited as protein was greater (P < .01) for SbV-injected steers than for placebo-injected steers. The proportional amount of protein deposited was not influenced by SYN (P > .10); however, means were numerically greater for SYN-implanted steers than for steers not implanted, the largest mean being for the SYN + SbV treatment group. Somavubove increased (P < .01) the efficiency of energy deposited as protein in both the empty body and carcass compared with steers not receiving SbV. Efficiency of energy deposited as protein in the empty body tended to be greater (P < .10) for SYN-implanted steers than for steers not implanted. The efficiency with which total feed energy was deposited as protein in empty body was 10% greater for the SYN group than for the CTL group, 21% greater for the SbV group than for the CTL group, and 37% greater for the combined SYN + SbV treatment than for the CTL group. The data from this study are interpreted to indicate that SYN and SbV act in an additive manner to improve growth and protein deposition in young growing steers.

Abstract
Twenty crossbred beef steers (initial BW 182 +/- 1.8 kg) were used in a 2 x 2 factorial to determine the effects of implantation with Synovex-S (SYN; 20 mg 17-beta estradiol benzoate + 200 mg progesterone, ear implant) and administration of recombinant bovine growth hormone (Somavubove SbV, .1 mg.kgBW-1.d-1, i.m.) on the morphology of six muscles (longissimus, psoas major, supraspinatus, triceps brachii, semitendinosus, rectus femoris) of growing steers. Implantation with SYN decreased the percentage distribution of FOG fibers and increased FG fibers in the supraspinatus and rectus femoris muscles (P < .05). Steers treated with SYN had a larger area of SO and FG fibers in the psoas major muscle (P < .05). The administration of SbV decreased the percentage distribution of FOG fibers and increased FG fibers in the rectus femoris muscle (P < .05). Steers administered SbV had larger SO, FOG, and FG fibers in the psoas major muscle and SO fibers in the supraspinatus and semitendinosus muscles (P < .05). The combined administration of SYN and SbV had minimal, if any, effect on the percentage distribution of fiber types (P > .05) but increased (P < .05) the fiber areas of all muscles (18.5 to 54.8%) except the rectus femoris (P > .05). Proximate composition of the muscles was generally not affected (P > .05) by any of the treatments. The only observations were decreases in fat content for psoas major and rectus femoris muscles as a result of the combined administration of SYN and SbV. These results indicate that both growth-promoting agents, SYN and SbV, have potential to increase muscle fiber size, but muscles respond differently to the administrations of SYN and SbV. However, when SYN and SbV are administered in combination, the combined effects result in an additive increase in muscle fiber hypertrophic response.

Abstract
Weaned Targhee x Hampshire lambs (average BW 27.6 kg) were used to determine the effects of concentrate feeding, forage grazing, or finishing on concentrate after grazing upon growth and carcass tissue accretion. Lambs were assigned randomly and balanced by weight and sex to five replicated treatments (12 lambs/treatment): all-concentrate in drylot (DL); rotational grazing alfalfa (ALF); rotational grazing ryegrass (RG); RG for 62 d, then DL (RGDL); RG for 62 d, then ALF (RGALF). Lambs were slaughtered when fat thickness over the ribeye was estimated at 3.8 to 5.6 mm. Lamb growth and carcass measurements included ADG, accretion of bone, lean, and fat in the carcass, and final BW. Lambs on DL had the highest (P = .001) ADG, whereas lambs on RG treatments tended to have the lowest ADG and heaviest final BW. Compared with DL lambs, ALF lambs had lower (P < .05) ADG but comparable final BW. Lambs that grazed RG had more (P = .001) carcass lean weight than lambs fed in DL, but carcass lean weight of lambs grazed on ALF did not differ (P > .05) from that of lambs on the DL or RG treatment. Carcass fat was less (P = .001) for ALF lambs than for the DL, RGDL, or RGALF treatment group. Daily accretion of bone, lean, and fat was highest (P = .001) for DL. Daily accretion of lean and fat for the RG group was less (P = .001) than for the ALF group but did not differ (P > .05) from that of RGALF lambs. Lean:fat ratio in weight gain for DL lambs was less (P < .01) than ratios for the ALF and RG groups, which were similar to those for RGDL and RGALF lambs. When slaughtered at the same level of fat over the ribeye, DL-fed lambs had higher ADG and fewer days on test than grazed lambs. However, lambs finished or backgrounded on forage had high lean:fat tissue gain and a higher percentage of lean in their carcasses than DL-fed lambs.

Abstract
This research was conducted to evaluate the characteristics of muscle fiber growth and the effects of porcine somatotropin (pST; 100 micrograms.kg-1 BW.d-1) administration on the morphology of 12 muscles located in different regions of the body in barrows growing from 20 to 90 kg BW. In the course of the growth of control pigs, the percentage distribution of beta R fibers did not show any changes in all 12 muscles, whereas the percentage of alpha R and alpha W fibers changed in different patterns in different muscles. The administration of pST had no effect on fiber type distribution. The cross-sectional area of alpha W fibers was the largest of the three fiber types, and beta R and alpha R fibers were of similar size in all muscles. All fiber types in all muscles increased in cross-sectional area by an average of 120% from 20 to 60 kg BW. After 60 kg BW, the growth of alpha W fibers in seven (early maturing) muscles and alpha R fibers in one muscle out of the 12 muscles was not apparent. The increase of their cross-sectional area was an average of 12%, but the area of the other muscle fibers continued to increase by an average of 38% until 90 kg BW. The administration of pST increased the area of alpha W fibers in four out of seven of these early-maturing muscles by an average of 25%, suggesting some possible relationships between pST effects and the rate of muscle fiber maturation. Most of the muscles that responded to pST treatment were located in hindlimb region.

Abstract
The effects of finishing system on growth performance and carcass composition were determined in an experiment using 40 crossbred, early-weaned lambs (28 kg BW). Finishing systems were 1) grazed alfalfa, 2) 100% concentrate diet fed in drylot, and 3) grazed ryegrass for 42 d followed by a 100% concentrate diet fed in drylot. All lambs were fed to similar final weights (48 kg). Average daily gain was greater for lambs placed directly in the feedlot than for lambs on the other two finishing protocols. The quantity of separable lean tissue and bone were not affected by finishing system. However, quantity of total fat and each of the three major fat depot sites (subcutaneous, seam, and mesenteric) were reduced (P < .05) in alfalfa-finished lambs compared with fat in lambs fed concentrate at some time during finishing. Daily accretion rates of lean and fat tissue were greater (P < .05) for lambs placed directly in drylot than for lambs that consumed forage at some time. In addition, daily fat accretion rates were greater in lambs placed directly in drylot than in lambs that initially grazed ryegrass. Composition of individual primal cuts revealed reductions (P < .05) in total separable fat with alfalfa finishing compared with the other two systems. However, chemical composition of the lean tissue within the primal cuts was not affected by finishing system, with the exception of the loin and breast. Finishing systems based on grazed forage can lead to the production of leaner carcasses, but major differences in the composition of consumable product were not observed.

Abstract
Fifty-eight crossbred lambs (26 kg BW) with moderate growth potential were used in a completely randomized design experiment to determine the effects of restricted feeding of all-concentrate diets on performance and carcass composition. Feeding levels studied were 100, 85, and 70% of ad libitum intake. Diets that were restricted-fed were formulated to have increased nutrient concentrations to provide equal daily intakes of protein, vitamins, and minerals among DM intake levels. Lambs were fed to a final weight that would yield carcasses of equal weight (24 kg). Average daily gain was reduced linearly (P < .02) and days on feed were increased linearly (P < .02) because of restricted feeding. Feed efficiency, however, was not affected by intake level. The quantity of separable lean tissue within carcass sides was increased (P < .05) with restricted feeding. Total separable fat within the side was reduced (P < .05) in an amount equal to the increase in lean tissue accretion. Chemical analysis of the carcass side showed a decrease (P < .05) in fat percentage and a corresponding increase (P < .05) in water percentage because of restricted feeding. Daily accretion rates of lean and bone tissue were not affected by restricted feeding; however, fat accretion was decreased linearly with decreasing feeding levels. Separable lean tissue within the primal cuts was generally increased with decreasing intakes, which led to a corresponding decrease in separable fat. Restricted feeding strategies can lead to the production of leaner carcasses. Reductions in fat content occur in the subcutaneous, seam, and mesenteric depot sites, but intramuscular fat content of consumable product also is reduced.

Abstract
The level of protein in the diet both before and during treatment with beta-adrenergic agonist (BAA) was investigated with regard to its effect on growth performance and carcass characteristics of pigs. A total of 76 pigs were divided into two groups and given ad libitum access to diets containing either 12 or 18% crude protein (CP) during growth from 15 to 60 kg. At 60 kg, six pigs from each group were slaughtered and carcass composition was determined. For the test period (growth from 60 to 90 kg) the remainder of the pigs were divided into eight groups of eight pigs each. Half of the pigs from each of the two dietary pretreatment groups were switched to the other diet and half remained on the same diet. Of the four dietary groups, half were fed 0 mg/kg (controls) or 1 mg/kg of BRL 47672. During the test period, all pigs were fed at 90% of their calculated ad libitum DE intake. All pigs were slaughtered at 90 kg and carcass composition was determined. Addition of BRL 47672 to the diet resulted in an overall improvement (P < .05) in daily gain (.72 vs .64 kg) and gain/feed (.28 vs .26); the greatest improvement occurred with pigs fed the 18% CP diet (24 and 14% for daily gain and gain/feed, respectively). Pigs that had received BRL 47672 also had 12% less backfat, 10% less carcass lipid, 16% larger longissimus muscle area, and 5% more carcass protein (P < .05 for each), and the greatest changes occurred in pigs fed the 18% CP diet (-26, -16, +21, and +10%, respectively).(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Abstract
Fatty acid profiles and cholesterol content of whole-carcass ground tissue were compared from 26 transgenic (T) pigs expressing a bovine growth hormone gene (bGH) to 26 sibling control (C) pigs. All pigs were fed a common diet and were slaughtered at five different live weights: 14, 28, 48, 68, and 92 kg. The left side of each intact carcass was ground and tissue samples were analyzed for lipid composition and cholesterol content. At 14-kg body weight, carcasses from bGH-T pigs contained 38% less fat, 44% less saturated fatty acids (SFA), 48% less monounsaturated fatty acids (MUFA), and 38% less polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) than C pigs. At 28 kg, bGH-T pigs had 38% less total carcass fat, 42% less SFA, 46% less MUFA, and 24% less PUFA than C pigs. At 48-kg body weight, bGH-T pigs contained 48% less carcass fat, 55% less SFA, 59% less MUFA, and 22% less PUFA than C pigs. At 68 kg, bGH-T pigs had 78% less carcass fat, 78% less SFA, 79% less MUFA, and 53% less PUFA than C pigs. At 92 kg, carcasses from bGH-T pigs contained 85% less carcass fat, 85% less SFA, 91% less MUFA, and 66% less PUFA than those from C pigs. Cholesterol content was not different between bGH-T pigs and C pigs at any of the carcass weights. The trend was for cholesterol content to decrease from the 14- to 92-kg weight group. These results suggest a dilution effect of carcass fat and fatty acids in carcass tissue from bGH-T pigs with increasing live weight.

Abstract
Sixty crossbred barrows (average 30 kg) were used in a 5 x 2 factorial treatment array to examine interactions between dietary protein concentration (11, 15, 19, 23, or 27% CP) and recombinant porcine somatotropin (rpST: 0, excipient buffer vs 100 micrograms.kg-1.d-1) for 42 d on muscle fiber morphology and meat tenderness. Diets were isocaloric (3.8 Mcal of DE/kg) and of equal lysine (4.9 g/Mcal of DE) achieved by diluting soybean meal with cornstarch and by addition of crystalline lysine. Dosage of rpST and feed intake (80% of predicted ad libitum) were adjusted weekly. Four muscles (longissimus = LM; semimembranosus = SM; semitendinosus = ST; triceps brachii = TB) were evaluated. Percentages of muscle fiber types (beta R, alpha R, alpha W) for the LM, SM, and TB were not influenced by rpST treatment. More alpha R and fewer alpha W fibers were found in the ST muscle of rpST-treated pigs. No interactions were observed between rpST treatment and dietary protein for muscle fiber type distribution. Dietary protein had no consistent influence on the distribution of muscle fiber types in all four muscles. Area of fibers generally increased in rpST-treated pigs compared with controls when diets contained 19% or more CP. The LM shear force was increased (13%) by rpST treatment for chops frozen after 5 d of storage in the cooler, but not in those chops frozen within 1.5 h postmortem. Dietary protein had a variable influence on tenderness. These data indicate that muscle fiber growth (hypertrophy) in pigs is positively influenced by rpST treatment. Marginal dietary protein intake reduces muscle fiber growth responses to rpST.

Abstract
The objectives of this study were to examine the interaction between added palm oil in high-forage diets and initial concentration of plasma cholesterol on performance, plasma lipids, and carcass characteristics of growing ram lambs. Thirty-two Hampshire-Suffolk ram lambs (initial BW = 34.4 kg) were assigned to a 2 x 2 factorial design consisting of diet (basal [NPO] or 10.7% added palm oil [PO]) and initial plasma cholesterol concentration (high mean = 50 mg/dL [HC] or low mean = 38 mg/dL [LC]; SEM = 2; P = .01). The lambs were individually fed diets (77% forage-23% concentrate) that contained 16.0% CP, 2.14 Mcal of ME/kg (NPO), and 2.62 Mcal of ME/kg (PO). Metabolizable energy intakes were adjusted to .20 Mcal/kg of BW.75 for both dietary treatments. Lambs were weighed and feed intakes adjusted weekly. Lambs were bled via jugular venipuncture on d 28, 56, and 84 and lambs were slaughtered after they had been fed the diets for 90 d. Plasma concentrations of total cholesterol, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, triglycerides, and nonesterified fatty acids were increased (P = .01) by feeding PO. Lambs fed PO were fatter than lambs fed NPO, as indicated by greater subcutaneous fat thickness and kidney and pelvic fat. Initial plasma cholesterol concentration had little effect on any of the parameters measured. Lambs fed PO had fatter carcasses than lambs fed NPO at calculated equalized ME intakes, which indicates that energy deposition is more efficient in palm oil-supplemented diets.

Abstract
The purpose of the study was to determine the effect of trenbolone acetate (TBA) on performance, plasma lipid metabolites, and carcass characteristics of growing ram and ewe lambs in two separate experiments. Treatments consisted of 1) a control, no implants, and 2) a TBA implant (60 mg of Finaplix; Hoechst-Roussel Agri-Vet). Twelve Rambouillet cross ram lambs (average 19.9 kg BW; Exp. 1) and 18 Suffolk-Hampshire ewe lambs (average 37.2 kg BW; Exp. 2) were given ad libitum access to a 77% forage/23% concentrate diet (15.5% CP and 2.14 Mcal of ME/kg). On d 0, six rams and nine ewes received TBA as an ear implant and six rams and nine ewes were designated as controls. Blood samples were collected via jugular venipuncture on d 0, 28, 56, and 84 and plasma was separated and analyzed for lipid metabolites. Rams (30.5 kg BW) and ewes (50.0 kg BW) were slaughtered after 93 and 91 d, respectively. Average daily gain was not affected by TBA in rams (117 g/d) or ewes (159 g/d). Nutrient intake restricted normal BW gains in the rams. Plasma concentrations of total cholesterol, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, triglycerides, and nonesterified fatty acids were not affected by TBA in either rams or ewes. Trenbolone acetate had no effect on subcutaneous fat measurements in either rams or ewes. Lamb chops from rams implanted with TBA were less (P < .04) tender (5.58 vs 4.26 kg/1.27-cm core) than lamb chops from control rams. Additional studies examining growth and carcass composition are needed in ruminants implanted with anabolic steroids and fed high-forage diets.

Abstract
The objectives of this study were to determine the effects of high-forage diets with and without added dietary palm oil (high in palmitic acid) fed at equalized ME intakes on performance, plasma lipids, and carcass characteristics of growing ram and ewe lambs. Thirty-one Hampshire or Suffolk lambs (35.7 kg BW) were used in a 2 x 2 factorial arrangement of the following treatments: 1) rams, no palm oil (R-NPO); 2) ewes, no palm oil (E-NPO); 3) rams, 10.7% dietary palm oil (R-PO); and 4) ewes, 10.7% dietary palm oil (E-PO). Both diets consisted of 77% forage and 23% concentrate. Diet DM contained 15.0% CP and 2.14 Mcal of ME/kg (NPO) or 2.62 Mcal of ME/kg (PO). Lambs were fed individually specified amounts of diet based on BW to equalize ME intake (.20 Mcal of ME/kg of BW.75) for both dietary treatments. Lambs were weighed and feed intakes were adjusted weekly. Lambs were bled by jugular venipuncture on d 28, 56, and 84 and were slaughtered after they had been fed the diets for 90 d. Lambs fed PO had greater (P < .01) ADG and efficiency (ADG/ME intake) than lambs fed NPO. Plasma concentrations of cholesterol, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, triglycerides, and nonesterified fatty acids were increased (P < .01) by feeding PO. Lambs fed PO were fatter than lambs fed NPO, as evidenced by greater subcutaneous fat thickness and kidney and pelvic fat. Ewes had greater (P < .01) subcutaneous fat than did rams.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Abstract
Thirty-two crossbred barrows were used to determine the effects of frequency of administration of equivalent total dosages of recombinant porcine somatotropin (rpST) on growth performance, tissue accretion rates, and hormone and metabolite status of pigs. Treatments were control (buffer-injected daily), 60 micrograms/kg BW daily (4 injections/4 d), 120 micrograms/kg BW injected every other day (2 injections/4 d), or 240 micrograms/kg BW given every 4th d (1 injection/4 d). Treatments were initiated at 35 BW and continued until each pig had consumed a total of 440 Mcal of DE intake. Pigs were fed a diet that contained 16% CP, 1.2% lysine, and 3.5 Mcal of DE/kg at 85% of calculated ad libitum intake. Feed intake and rpST dose were adjusted at 8-d intervals. The 240 micrograms/kg BW treatment did not decrease appetite beyond the 15% restriction already imposed in the experimental design. Treatment groups responded to rpST in a frequency-dependent manner. Average daily gain was improved by 10, 23, and 36%, respectively, as injection frequency was increased from 1/4 to 2/4 to 4/4 d. Muscle weights were increased uniformly (15% on average) on a BW basis by all rpST treatments. Carcass (21, 42, and 63%), visceral (43, 65, and 112%), and empty body (22, 43, and 65%) protein accretion rates were increased by rpST treatment in a frequency-dependent fashion, respectively. Lipid accretion also was reduced in carcass and empty body (31% on average) by all rpST injection schemes relative to controls; however, visceral lipid accretion was increased by 59% by rpST. Protein utilization efficiency increased linearly by 24, 45, and 65% as the frequency of injection of rpST was increased from 1/4 to 2/4 to 4/4 d. Hormones and metabolites exhibited frequency-related profiles as well. These results suggest that frequency of administration greatly influences the magnitude of responsiveness to rpST and that optimal benefit would be realized by a delivery system that mimicked a daily surge, at minimum, of rpST.

Abstract
The objective of this research was to determine the influence of dietary palm oil supplementation on carcass characteristics and lipid composition of tissues from growing lambs. Twenty-eight Suffolk x Hampshire lambs were weaned at 60 d of age (average 36 kg BW) and assigned to a 2 x 2 factorial arrangement consisting of diet (control [NPO] or 10.6% added dietary palm oil [PO]) and sex (ram vs ewe). The NPO diet (77% forage and 23% concentrate) contained 11.2% CP and 2.66 Mcal of ME/kg. Palm oil replaced molasses in the PO diet. Lambs were individually given ad libitum access to feed for 60 d to a final BW average of 50.1 kg. Lipid composition of the longissimus muscle and corresponding subcutaneous (s.c.) adipose tissue was determined by gas-liquid chromatography (GLC). Lambs fed PO were fatter (P less than .01) than lambs fed NPO (.77 vs .56 cm, s.c. fat). Diet had no effect on cholesterol content of lean tissue; however, feeding PO increased the saturated fatty acids of lean tissue. The s.c. fat from lambs fed PO had less (P less than .01) cholesterol (64.79 vs 89.67 mg/100 g) and more saturated fatty acids than that from lambs fed NPO. Ewes were fatter (P less than .01) than rams, yet they had less cholesterol content in the s.c. adipose tissue (68.71 vs 85.74 mg/100 g). High amounts of dietary palm oil fed to growing lambs caused changes in fatty acid deposition and cholesterol metabolism and may be a useful investigative tool to study lipid metabolism in growing ruminants.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Abstract
Phospholipids (soy lecithin) are important in the emulsification of lipids and may escape the rumen and influence the absorption of fatty acids in the small intestine. Our objectives were to determine the influence of dietary canola seed (high in unsaturated fatty acids) and soy lecithin in high-forage diets on total lipid content, cholesterol content, and fatty acid composition of carcass tissues. Forty-three Hampshire or Suffolk-sired ram lambs were weaned at 60 d of age (average 23.6 kg of BW) and assigned to a 2 x 2 factorial arrangement of treatments consisting of 1) basal diet (control = BAS), 2) BAS with 6% whole canola seed (CS), 3) BAS with 4.9% deoiled soy lecithin (SL), and 4) BAS with 6% CS and 4.8% SL (CSSL). The BAS diet consisted of 70% forage and 30% concentrate and contained 15% CP and 2.2 Mcal of ME/kg. Lambs were individually fed and given ad libitum access to feed to an average final BW of 52.1 kg. Longissimus muscle (LM) from the left side of each carcass posterior to the 13th rib (12 to 15 cm in length) was excised and the lean (LM) and corresponding subcutaneous (s.c.) adipose tissue were separated, frozen, and later used for lipid analysis by gas-liquid chromatography. In lean tissue, feeding lambs CS reduced (P less than .01) the proportion of total polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) and feeding SL increased (P less than .01) the proportion of total PUFA. In s.c. adipose tissue, lambs fed CS had lower (P less than .01) saturated fatty acids (SFA) and lambs fed SL had increased (P less than .03) PUFA.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Abstract
The effect of ractopamine, a beta-adrenergic agonist, on growth, nutrient utilization, and carcass composition was studied in pigs fed either 18% CP, 12% CP, or 18% CP restricted (RES = 67% of ad libitum) diets. The 18 and 12% CP diets provided 3.52 and 3.68 Mcal of DE/kg, respectively. All pigs were fed a low-protein (12% CP) diet during pretreatment growth from 15 to 60 kg. Ractopamine at 20 or 30 ppm (30 ppm for RES pigs) in the diet was fed from 60 kg live BW until slaughter at 105 kg (9 pigs/treatment). No ractopamine treatment effect (P greater than .05) was observed for either daily gain or gain/feed, although gain/feed was improved by 8% in both of the ad libitum groups. Ractopamine treatment resulted (P less than .01) in an overall reduction of carcass lipid by 8%, an increase of carcass protein by 5%, and a 21% improvement in the efficiency of protein utilization; the greatest changes occurred in the pigs fed the 12% CP diet (-17%, +11%, and +32%, respectively). The ad libitum daily feed intake was 15% less for pigs fed the 12% CP diet than for those fed the 18% CP diet (P less than .01), and there was a 10% reduction in intake of both diets with the addition of ractopamine (P less than .05). Both carcass lipid and protein deposition seemed to be closely related to energy intake (P less than .01).(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Abstract
Twenty-four Suffolk x Hampshire ram lambs (average 46 kg) were assigned to one of three diets containing rapeseed meal (RM), soybean meal (SBM), or whole rapeseed-soybean meal (RSSBM) as the protein source. Diets contained 75% roughage, 14% CP and 2.0 Mcal of ME/kg and lambs were allowed ad libitum access to diets for 35 d. Lipid composition of the longissimus, semimembranosus, and triceps brachii muscles and their corresponding s.c. adipose tissue was determined by gas-liquid chromatography (GLC). The total lipid content in either muscle or subcutaneous fat was not different (P greater than .01) by diet. In lean tissue, palmitic and palmitoleic acids were higher and stearic acid was lower (P less than .01) in rams fed RM than in rams fed RSSBM or SBM, regardless of anatomical location. In the s.c. adipose tissue, the amounts of myristoleic, pentadecylic, and palmitoleic acids were lower and the amount of stearic acid was higher (P less than .01) in rams fed RSSM than in those fed RM or SBM, regardless of anatomical location. The semimembranosus and triceps brachii muscles from all treatments contained 12 to 19% more polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) than the longissimus muscle. The cholesterol content of the three muscles was highest in SBM-fed lambs, lowest in RM-fed lambs, and intermediate in RSSBM-fed lambs. These results demonstrate that dietary treatments of the types used in the present study elicit changes in fatty acid composition of both adipose and muscle tissue without affecting the quantity of total lipid.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
