The objective of these studies was to evaluate the effects of dietary restriction and Se on maternal and fetal metabolic hormones. In Exp. 1, pregnant ewe lambs (n = 32; BW = 45.6 +/- 2.3 kg) were allotted randomly to 1 of 4 treatments. Diets contained (DM basis) either no added Se (control), or supranutritional Se added as high-Se wheat at 3.0 mg/kg (Se-wheat), or sodium selenate at 3 (Se3) and 15 (Se15) mg/kg of Se. Diets (DM basis) were similar in CP (15.5%) and ME (2.68 Mcal/kg). Treatments were initiated at 50 +/- 5 d of gestation. The control, Se-wheat, Se3, and Se15 treatments provided 2.5, 75, 75, and 375 microg/kg of BW of Se, respectively. Ewe jugular blood samples were collected at 50, 64, 78, 92, 106, 120, and 134 d of gestation. Fetal serum samples were collected at necropsy on d 134. In Exp. 2, pregnant ewe lambs (n = 36; BW 53.8 +/- 1.3 kg) were allotted randomly to treatments in a 2 x 2 factorial arrangement. Factors were nutrition (control, 100% of requirements vs. restricted nutrition, 60% of control) and dietary Se (adequate Se, 6 microg/kg of BW vs. high Se, 80 microg/kg of BW). Selenium treatments were initiated 21 d before breeding, and nutritional treatments were initiated on d 64 of gestation. Diets were 16% CP and 2.12 Mcal/kg of ME (DM basis). Blood samples were collected from the ewes at 62, 76, 90, 104, 118, 132, and 135 d of gestation. Fetal blood was collected at necropsy on d 135. In Exp.1, dietary Se source and concentration had no effect (P > 0.17) on maternal and fetal serum IGF-I, triiodothyronine (T(3)), or thyroxine (T(4)) concentrations. Selenium supplementation increased (P = 0.06) the T(4):T(3) ratio vs. controls. In Exp. 2, dietary Se had no impact (P > 0.33) on main effect means for maternal and fetal serum IGF-I, T(3), or T(4) concentrations from d 62 to 132; however, at d 135, high-Se ewes had lower (P = 0.01) serum T(4) concentrations than adequate-Se ewes. A nutrition by Se interaction (P = 0.06) was detected for the T(4):T(3) ratios; ewes fed restricted and adequate-Se diets had greater (P = 0.10) T(4):T(3) ratios compared with the other treatments. Nutrient-restricted ewes had lower (P < 0.05) serum IGF-I, T(3), and T(4) concentrations. Fetal serum IGF-I concentrations were lower (P = 0.01) in restricted-vs. control-fed ewes; however, fetal T(3) and T(4) concentrations were unaffected (P > 0.13) by dietary Se or maternal plane of nutrition. These data indicate that dietary Se may alter maternal T(4):T(3) ratios. In addition, nutrient restriction during gestation reduces maternal IGF-I, T(3), and T(4) and fetal IGF-I concentrations.
这些研究的目的是评估限饲和硒对母羊及胎儿代谢激素的影响。在试验1中,将怀孕的青年母羊(n = 32;体重 = 45.6 ± 2.3 kg)随机分配到4种处理中的1种。日粮(以干物质计)要么不添加硒(对照),要么添加超营养水平的硒,即添加3.0 mg/kg的高硒小麦(硒小麦),或者添加3(Se3)和15(Se15)mg/kg的亚硒酸钠。日粮(以干物质计)的粗蛋白(CP)含量(15.5%)和代谢能(ME)含量(2.68 Mcal/kg)相似。处理在妊娠50 ± 5 d开始。对照、硒小麦、Se3和Se15处理分别提供2.5、75、75和375 μg/kg体重的硒。在妊娠50、64、78、92、106、120和134 d采集母羊颈静脉血样。在134 d剖检时采集胎儿血清样本。在试验2中,将怀孕的青年母羊(n = 36;体重53.8 ± 1.3 kg)随机分配到2×2析因设计的处理中。因素为营养(对照,满足100%需求 vs. 限饲,对照的60%)和日粮硒(适宜硒,6 μg/kg体重 vs. 高硒,80 μg/kg体重)。硒处理在配种前21 d开始,营养处理在妊娠64 d开始。日粮粗蛋白含量为16%,代谢能为2.12 Mcal/kg(以干物质计)。在妊娠62、76、90、104、118、132和135 d采集母羊血样。在135 d剖检时采集胎儿血样。在试验1中,日粮硒源和浓度对母羊和胎儿血清胰岛素样生长因子-I(IGF-I)、三碘甲状腺原氨酸(T(3))或甲状腺素(T(4))浓度无影响(P > 0.17)。与对照相比,补充硒使T(4):T(3)比值升高(P = 0.06)。在试验2中,从妊娠62 d至132 d,日粮硒对母羊和胎儿血清IGF-I、T(3)或T(4)浓度的主效应均值无影响(P > 0.33);然而,在135 d,高硒母羊的血清T(4)浓度低于适宜硒母羊(P = 0.01)。检测到T(4):T(3)比值存在营养与硒的交互作用(P = 0.06);与其他处理相比,限饲且硒适宜的母羊T(4):T(3)比值更高(P = 0.10)。营养受限的母羊血清IGF-I、T(3)和T(4)浓度较低(P < 0.05)。与对照饲养的母羊相比,限饲母羊所产胎儿的血清IGF-I浓度较低(P = 0.01);然而,胎儿T(3)和T(4)浓度不受日粮硒或母羊营养水平的影响(P > 0.13)。这些数据表明,日粮硒可能改变母羊的T(4):T(3)比值。此外,妊娠期间的营养限制会降低母羊的IGF-I、T(3)和T(4)以及胎儿的IGF-I浓度。
