Abstract

This experiment was conducted to investigate the effects of feeding restriction on blood biochemical indexes, fatty acid composition and gene expressions related to lipid metabolism of visceral adipose tissue (VAT) in mid-pregnancy ewes. Sixteen Xiangdong black goats[gestation time of (45±3) d], body weight of (29.86±3.07) kg] were chosen and randomly assigned to control group (C group, 100% of pregnancy nutritional requirements) and restricted group (R group, 40% of pregnancy nutritional requirements), and each group comprised of 8 dams. The experiment period was 45 to 100 d of gestation. At day 101 of gestation, blood biochemical indexes, fatty acid composition and gene expressions related to lipid metabolism and energy sensing in omental, mesenteric and perirenal adipose tissues were detected. The results showed that R group compared with C group:1) blood contents of glucagon and free fatty acid were significantly increased (P<0.05), and blood contents of leptin, adiponectin and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol were significantly decreased (P<0.05). 2) The contents of arachidonic acid (C20:4n6), palmitoleic acid (C16:1), linoleic acid (C18:2n6c), epoxyeicosatrienoic acids (C20:3n6) and polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA) in omental adipose tissue were significantly decreased (P<0.05); the content of myristic acid in mesenteric adipose tissue was significantly decreased (P<0.05); the contents of linoleic acid, arachidonic acid, epoxyeicosatrienoic acids and PUFA in perirenal adipose tissue were significantly decreased (P<0.05). 3) The expression of adenosine 5'-monophosphate-activated protein kinase α2 (AMPKα2) gene in omental adipose tissue tended to be increased (0.05 ≤ P ≤ 0.10); the expressions of fatty acid synthetase (FASN), stearoyl-CoA desaturase-1 (SCD1) and uncoupling protein 2 (UCP2) genes in mesenteric adipose tissue tended to be decreased (0.05 ≤ P ≤ 0.10), and the expression of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor γ (PPARγ) gene tended to be increased (0.05 ≤ P ≤ 0.10); in perirenal adipose tissue, the expressions of FASN and UCP2 genes were significantly decreased (P<0.05), while that of adenosine 5'-monophosphate-activated protein kinase β1 (AMPKβ1) gene was significantly increased (P<0.05), and that of carnitine palmitoyltransferase 1A (CPT1A) gene tended to be increased (0.05 ≤ P ≤ 0.10). These results indicate that feeding restriction during mid-gestation decreases contents of lipid metabolism regulator factors (leptin and adiponectin), increases contents of lipid metabolites (free fatty acids), and affects fatty acid composition (decreases PUFA content), down-regulates gene (FASN and SCD1) expressions related to lipid synthesis, up-regulates gene (CPT1A) expression related to lipid mobilization, and down-regulates gene (UCP2) expression related to basal energy metabolism in VAT of dams, thereby attenuates lipid anabolism and enhances lipid mobilization in VAT to regulate body energy balance.
