Abstract

This experiment was conducted to study the influences of Bacillus subtilis copper on growth and development, organ indices, copper deposition and serum biochemical and antioxidant parameters of congenital copper deficiency rats. The experiment was divided into model period and intervention period. In the model period, seventy-two pregnant SD rats were divided into 2 groups (model group and control group) with 6 replicates per group and 6 replicates per replicate. The pregnancy rats in the model group were fed a low copper diet (copper content was 0.33 mg/kg), and the others in the control group were fed a normal diet (low copper diets supplemented with 6.0 mg/kg copper sulfate pentahydrate), continue until the end of the lactation period and to verify that the model was successful. In the intervention period, a total of 108 successfully modeled copper deficiency young rats were randomly divided into 6 groups, groups Ⅰ to Ⅲ were copper sulfate groups (low copper diets supplemented with 3.0, 6.0 and 9.0 mg/kg copper sulfate pentahydrate, respectively), and groups Ⅳ to Ⅵ were Bacillus subtilis copper groups (low copper diets supplemented with 3.0, 6.0 and 9.0 mg/kg Bacillus subtilis copper, respectively), each group had 3 replicates and each replicate had 6 rates. The experiment lasted for 35 days. The results showed as follows: 1) under the same copper addition condition, the body weight and activities of glutamic-pyruvic transaminase (ALT) and glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px) in serum of group Ⅳ were significantly higher than those of group Ⅰ (P < 0.05 or P < 0.01), and the serum glutamic-oxaloacetic transaminase/glutamic-pyruvic transaminase (AST/ALT) of group Ⅳ was significantly lower than that of group Ⅰ (P < 0.05). The activities of ceruloplasmin (CP) and alkaline phosphatase (AKP) in serum of group Ⅴ were significantly higher than those of group Ⅱ (P < 0.05 or P < 0.01), and the serum malonaldehyde (MDA) content of group Ⅴ was significantly lower than that of group Ⅱ (P < 0.05). The serum AKP activity and kidney copper deposition of group Ⅵ were significantly higher than those of group Ⅲ (P < 0.05 or P < 0.01). 2) In copper sulfate groups, the body weight and body length of groups Ⅱ and Ⅲ were significantly higher than those of group Ⅰ (P < 0.05), the serum CP activity of group Ⅲ was significantly lower than that of groups Ⅰ and Ⅱ (P < 0.05 or P < 0.01), the serum AKP activity of group Ⅲ was significantly lower than that of group Ⅱ (P < 0.05), the activities of glutamic-oxaloacetic transaminase (AST), GSH-Px and Cu-Zn superoxide dismutase (CuZn-SOD) in serum and kidney copper deposition of group Ⅲ were significantly higher than those of group Ⅰ (P < 0.05 or P < 0.01), and the serum MDA content of group Ⅲ was significantly lower than that of group Ⅰ (P < 0.05). In Bacillus subtilis copper groups, the body weight, body length and the activities of AST, GSH-Px and CuZn-SOD in serum and the copper deposition in heart, liver and kidney of group Ⅵ were significantly higher than those of group Ⅳ (P < 0.05 or P < 0.01), the activities of CP and AKP in serum of group Ⅵ were significantly higher than those of groups Ⅳ and Ⅴ (P < 0.05 or P < 0.01). In conclusion, the Bacillus subtilis copper can increase the body weight and the activities of CP, AKP and ALT in serum of congenital copper deficiency rats, improve the body antioxidant capacity, increase the copper deposition in liver and kidney, the effects are better than copper sulfate, and reduce the copper addition in the diet.
