Abstract

The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of supplemented with L-arginine (L-Arg) or N-carbamylglutamate (NCG) on plasma metabolites before and after of 3 600 m speed race of Yili horses. Fifteen Yili horses with similar body weight[(388.88±23.24) kg], aged 2 years old, were divided into 3 groups (5 horses in each group, 3♂+2♀) and trained according to the same training programs. Horses in control group were supplemented with 123 g/(horse·d) L-alanine (L-Ala), those in L-Arg group were supplemented with 60 g/(horse·d) L-Arg, and those in NCG group were supplemented with 12 g/(horse·d) NCG and 112 g/(horse·d). The experiment lasted for 4 weeks. The 3 600 m speed race was conducted at the 28th day of experiment, and samples were collected at pre-race 2 h, immediately post-race and post-race 2 h to analysis plasma metabolites by liquid chromatograph/mass spectrometer (LC/MS) technology. The results showed that, compared with the control group, the contents of plasma citric acid at pre-race 2 h, plasma α-ketoadipic acid at immediately post-race, and plasma D-glucose-6-phosphate at post-race 2 h in L-Arg group were significantly increased (P<0.05), and the content of plasma lactic acid was significantly decreased at immediately post-race (P<0.05); the content of plasma in NCG group was significantly decreased at immediately post-race (P<0.05). Compared with the control group, the contents of plasma arginine, acetylglutamic acid, glutamyl proline were significantly increased (P<0.05) and plasma glutamine content was significantly decreased in L-Arg group at pre-race 2 h (P<0.05), and the contents of plasma ornithine, acetylglutamic acid and proline were significantly increased at immediately post-race (P<0.05); the content of plasma arginine in NCG group was significantly increased at pre-race 2 h (P<0.05). Moreover, the contents of plasma leucine, tryptophan and 5-hydroxytryptophan in L-Arg group and NCG group were significantly increased at pre-race 2 h (P<0.05). In this experiment, the plasma differential expression metabolites before and after 3 600 m speed race of Yili horses supplemented with L-Arg or N-carbamylglutamic acid are screened by non-targeted metabonomics. It is revealed that supplemented with L-Arg or NCG can promote exercise energy metabolism, affect amino acid metabolism, promote the synthesis of arginine and the metabolism of arginine to proline in Yili horses.
