The objective of this study was to determine the effect of recombinant bovine somatotropin (rbST) on muscle fiber histology and histochemistry in creep-fed beef steers. Crossbred steer calves were assigned to one of two treatment groups: control (sham-injected; n = 12) or rbST-injected (0.09 mg x kg(-1) x d(-1); n = 12). Calves were injected every 14 d starting at d 28 of age until weaning at 205 d of age. Biopsies of the semitendinosus muscle were performed on d 100, and slaughter samples of semitendinosus muscle were collected for muscle fiber analyses on d 206. The rbST-treated calves had larger (P = 0.045) fast-twitch-glycolytic (FG) fibers [2,564 +/- 10 vs 2,351 +/- 11 microm2 cross-sectional area, respectively] than controls. No differences (P = 0.36) between rbST-treated and control steers in cross-sectional area were detected for slow-twitch-oxidative (SO) [1,192 +/- 20 vs 1,148 +/- 22 microm2, respectively] or fast-twitch-oxidative-glycolytic (FOG) fibers [1,484 +/- 35 vs 1,403 +/- 38 microm2, respectively]. The percentage distribution for FOG fibers was greater for control calves than for the rbST-treated calves (38.4 vs 34.9 +/- 0.1%, respectively; P = 0.014), whereas the percentage distribution for FG fibers was greater in the rbST-treated calves than for control calves (53.5 vs 48.4 +/- 0.2%, respectively; P = 0.03). The percentage distribution for SO fibers tended to be greater for the control calves than for the rbST-treated calves (13.1 vs 11.7 +/- 0.1%, respectively; P = 0.07). The percentage of FG fibers increased with age (45.4 vs 56.6 +/- 0.8%, respectively; P = 0.001), whereas the percentage distribution of SO (14.3 vs 10.5 +/- 0.5%, respectively) and FOG fibers (40.3 vs 32.9 +/- 0.7%, respectively) decreased (P = 0.001) from d 100 to d 206. The increased longissimus muscle area and dissectable lean tissue in rbST-treated calves are associated with a greater percentage of FG fibers, which possess larger cross-sectional areas than the other fibers.
本研究的目的是确定重组牛生长激素(rbST)对犊牛育肥期肉牛肌肉纤维组织学和组织化学的影响。杂种公牛犊被分为两个处理组之一:对照组(假注射;n = 12)或注射rbST组(0.09 mg x kg(-1) x d(-1);n = 12)。从28日龄开始,每隔14天给犊牛注射一次,直至205日龄断奶。在第100天对半腱肌进行活检,并在第206天采集半腱肌屠宰样本用于肌肉纤维分析。与对照组相比,注射rbST的犊牛具有更大(P = 0.045)的快肌糖酵解型(FG)纤维[横截面积分别为2,564 +/- 10与2,351 +/- 11平方微米]。在慢肌氧化型(SO)[分别为1,192 +/- 20与1,148 +/- 22平方微米]或快肌氧化糖酵解型(FOG)纤维[分别为1,484 +/- 35与1,403 +/- 38平方微米]的横截面积方面,注射rbST的犊牛与对照组之间未检测到差异(P = 0.36)。对照组犊牛的FOG纤维百分比分布高于注射rbST的犊牛(分别为38.4%与34.9 +/- 0.1%;P = 0.014),而注射rbST的犊牛的FG纤维百分比分布高于对照组犊牛(分别为53.5%与48.4 +/- 0.2%;P = 0.03)。对照组犊牛的SO纤维百分比分布倾向于高于注射rbST的犊牛(分别为13.1%与11.7 +/- 0.1%;P = 0.07)。从第100天到第206天,FG纤维的百分比增加(分别为45.4%与56.6 +/- 0.8%;P = 0.001),而SO纤维(分别为14.3%与10.5 +/- 0.5%)和FOG纤维(分别为40.3%与32.9 +/- 0.7%)的百分比分布下降(P = 0.001)。注射rbST的犊牛背最长肌面积和可分割瘦肉组织增加与FG纤维百分比更高有关,FG纤维的横截面积比其他纤维更大。
