Abstract

This study was aimed to investigate the effects of glutamate (Glu) on intestinal energy metabolism in the lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-challenged weaned piglets. Twenty-four weaned pigs were assigned to four groups as control group, LPS group, LPS+1.0% Glu group and LPS+2.0% Glu group with 6 replicates each and 1 pig in per replicate. On the 28th day of the trial, the piglets in the experimental groups were injected with 100 μg/kg BW LPS, and the piglets in the control group were injected with the same amount of 0.9% NaCl solution. At 4 h post-injection, pigs were slaughtered and intestinal samples were collected for further analysis. The results showed as follows:1) LPS challenge significantly decreased ATP and total adenine nucleotide (TAN) contents and energy charge (P<0.05), but significantly increased the ratio of AMP to ATP (P<0.05) in jejunum compared with the control group; LPS+2.0% Glu group significantly increased the contents of ATP, ADP and TAN (P<0.05) in jejunum compared with LPS group. 2) Compared with the control group, LPS challenge had a tendency to decrease the alpha-oxoglutarate dehydrogenase complex activity (P=0.092) in jejunum and extremely significantly decreased the activities of citrate synthase and alpha-oxoglutarate dehydrogenase complex (P<0.01) in ileum; compared with LPS group, Glu had no significant effects on the activities of tricarboxylic acid cycle key enzymes (P>0.05) in jejunum and ileum, except for the citrate synthase activity in ileum was significantly reduced in LPS+1.0% Glu group (P<0.05). 3) LPS challenge extremely significantly decreased the mRNA expressions of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma coactivator-1α (PGC1α) in jejunum and silent information regulator 1 (Sirt1) and PGC1α in ileum (P<0.01) compared with the control group; compared with LPS group, LPS+2.0% Glu group had a tendency to increase the mRNA expressions of PGC1α in jejunum (P=0.067) and Sirt1 in ileum (P=0.053), while LPS+1.0% Glu group had a tendency to increase the Sirt1 mRNA expression in ileum (P=0.070). These results indicate that dietary supplementation of Glu can improve energy loss status in LPS injured intestine.
