Intracerebroventricular injection of taurine affords thermotolerance and regulates mitochondrial thermogenic gene expression in pectoralis muscle in neonatal chicks exposed to high ambient temperature
Intracerebroventricular (ICV) injection of taurine can induce hypothermia and attenuate stress behaviors in neonatal chicks under control thermoneutral temperature (CT) conditions. While, its ability to withstand heat stress (thermotolerance) has not identified yet. Thus, the objective of this study was to examine the effects of ICV taurine effects on thermoregulation, mitochondrial thermogenic gene expression, and amino acid metabolism in 5-day-old Julia male chick exposed to either high ambient temperature (HT) or CT conditions. Procedures were performed in the absence of food with water available after injections. The results showed that ICV injection of taurine reduced the magnitude of temperature rises in heat-exposed chicks (afforded thermotolerance). Central taurine increased gene expression of avian uncoupling protein mRNA in pectoral muscle under CT and HT. However, avian peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor γ coactivator-1α, avian adenine nucleotide translocase and carnitine palmitoyltransferase-I mRNA were decreased in chicks that were administered taurine under CT and HT. Diencephalic tryptophan, taurine and 3-methylhistidine were increased, while glutamic acid was decreased following taurine treatment under both CT and HT. Moreover, central taurine caused to reduce plasma triacylglycerol and uric acid concentrations. In conclusion, central taurine administration reduced temperature rises and was associated with changes in gene expression of mitochondrial thermogenic factors in heat-exposed fasted chicks. The changes in the mitochondrial thermogenic genes in muscle and amino acid concentrations in the brain suggest that skeletal muscle and central nervous system metabolism may be involved in the effects of taurine on thermoregulation in chicks under both CT and HT.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Thermal Biology publishes articles that advance our knowledge on the ways and mechanisms through which temperature affects man and animals. This includes studies of their responses to these effects and on the ecological consequences. Directly relevant to this theme are:
• The mechanisms of thermal limitation, heat and cold injury, and the resistance of organisms to extremes of temperature
• The mechanisms involved in acclimation, acclimatization and evolutionary adaptation to temperature
• Mechanisms underlying the patterns of hibernation, torpor, dormancy, aestivation and diapause
• Effects of temperature on reproduction and development, growth, ageing and life-span
• Studies on modelling heat transfer between organisms and their environment
• The contributions of temperature to effects of climate change on animal species and man
• Studies of conservation biology and physiology related to temperature
• Behavioural and physiological regulation of body temperature including its pathophysiology and fever
• Medical applications of hypo- and hyperthermia
