Abstract

This study was conducted to determine the effects of dietary Eucommia ulmoides Oliver extracts (EUOE) on growth performance, serum biochemical indexes and liver lipid metabolism of Ningxiang pigs. Twenty-four healthy castrated female Ningxiang pigs with the body weight of about 43 kg were randomly allocated to 2 groups with 4 replicates per group and 3 pigs per replicate. Pigs in control group were fed a basal diet, and the others in experimental group were fed the basal diet supplemented with 1 500 mg/kg EUOE. The experiment lasted for 56 days. The results showed as follows: compared with control group, 1) dietary EUOE increased average daily gain of Ningxiang pigs slightly, decreased average daily feed intake by 46.88 g/d and the ratio of feed to gain by 2.74%, but there were no significant differences (P>0.05). 2) Dietary EUOE significantly increased the content of high-density lipoprotein (HDL) in serum of Ningxiang pigs by 20.29% (P<0.05) and tended to increase the content of triglyceride (TG) in serum by 33.33% (0.05≤P<0.10), and significantly decreased the content of low-density lipoprotein (LDL) in serum by 13.21% (P<0.05). 3) Dietary EUOE tended to increase the content of palmitoleic acid of monounsaturated fatty acids (MUFA) in liver of Ningxiang pigs by 19.60% (0.05≤P<0.10), and tented to decrease the content of linoleic acid of polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) in liver by 10.71% (0.05≤P<0.10). 4) Dietary EUOE significantly down-regulated the mRNA expression levels of adipose triglyceride lipase (ATGL), acetyl-CoA carboxylase (ACC), liver X receptor α (LXRα) and fatty acid synthase (FAS) in liver of Ningxiang pigs by 62.00%, 76.00%, 77.00% and 82.00%, respectively (P<0.05). These results indicate that dietary EUOE can affect fatty acids metabolism of Ningxiang pigs by increasing the content of HDL in serum and decreasing the content of LDL in serum and down-regulating the mRNA expression levels of FAS, ACC and so on in liver.
