Abstract
ABSTRACT This study was carried out to investigate the effect of different iron sources on haemoglobin and myoglobin (Mb) synthesis, and the mRNA expression of the key genes related to iron metabolism in the skeletal muscle of piglets. Forty-eight piglets were assigned into four treatments including control group, ferrous sulphate (FeSO4) group, ferrous glycinate (Fe-Gly) group and amino acid-Fe(II)-chelator complexes group. The results showed that iron supplementation increased Mb concentration in muscles (P < 0.05). In addition, iron supplementation increased hephaestin (HEPH) expression in the longissimus dorsi muscle (P < 0.1), decreased transferrin receptor 1 (TFR1) expression in the longissimus dorsi muscle (P < 0.05) and increased lipocalin 2 (Lcn2) expression in gastrocnemius muscle, respectively (P < 0.05). In summary, compared with high-dose inorganic iron, low-dose organic iron supplements have the same effects in haemoglobin and myoglobin biosynthesis, and mobilize iron in muscles into circulation.
期刊介绍:
Food and Agricultural Immunology is an international open access journal publishing original immunological research with applications in food, agricultural, environmental and veterinary science. Submissions describing the use of immunological techniques and methods are particularly welcomed.
The journal aims to expand our understanding of the interactions at the interface of food and immune systems including studies on:
-Development of diagnostic systems – all types of ligand-based assays, e.g. antibody, aptamer
-Application of ligand-based assays for the detection or identification of molecules of interest in food science, agricultural research, veterinary investigations and clinical systems relating to food allergy or sensitivity to agricultural chemicals
-Effects of food on the immune system
-Studies on allergy and allergic reactions
-Investigations into food allergies
-Development of allergen-free food systems
-Development of novel assay formats
-Applications of assay systems to the monitoring of food items in relation to safety and labelling
-Food quality issues, e.g. speciation, adulteration and contamination
-Comparisons between different analytical techniques
The journal publishes research and review articles and is essential reading for food scientists, immunologists and all those concerned with the interaction between food and immune systems.
