The two objectives of the current study were to: 1) investigate the genetic contributions to variations in serum vitamin D concentrations under two dietary conditions (a standard monkey biscuit diet vs. a diet designed to model typical American consumption); and 2) explore the interaction of vitamin D with pregnancy status using a cohort of pedigreed female vervet/African green monkeys.
This study includes 185 female (≥3.5 years) vervet/African green monkeys (Chlorocebus aethiops sabaeus) from a multi-generational, pedigreed breeding colony. The 25(OH)D3 concentrations were first measured seven to eight weeks after consuming a "typical American" diet (TAD), deriving 37, 18, and 45% of calories from fat, protein sources, and carbohydrates, and supplemented with vitamin D to a human equivalent of 1,000 IU/day. Vitamin D concentrations were assessed again when animals were switched to a low-fat, standard biscuit diet (LabDiet 5038) for 8 months, which provided a human equivalent of approximately 4,000 IU/day of vitamin D. All statistical analyses were implemented in SOLAR.
Pregnancy was associated with reduced 25(OH)D3 concentrations. Heritability analyses indicated a significant genetic contribution to 25(OH)D3 concentrations in the same monkeys consuming the biscuit diet (h(2) =0.66, P=0.0004) and TAD (h(2) =0.67, P=0.0078) diets, with higher 25(OH)D3 concentrations in animals consuming the biscuit diet. Additionally, there was a significant genotype-by-pregnancy status interaction on 25(OH)D3 concentrations (P<0.05) only among animals consuming the TAD diet.
These results support the existence of a genetic contribution to differences in serum 25(OH)D3 concentrations by pregnancy status and emphasize the role of diet (including vitamin D supplementation) in modifying genetic signals as well as vitamin D concentrations.
本研究的两个目的是:1)研究在两种饮食条件下(标准猴饼干饮食与模拟典型美国饮食结构的饮食)血清维生素D浓度变化的遗传贡献;2)使用一群有系谱的雌性绿猴/非洲绿猴来探索维生素D与妊娠状态之间的相互作用。
本研究包括来自一个多代系谱繁殖群体的185只雌性(≥3.5岁)绿猴/非洲绿猴(埃塞俄比亚绿猴亚种)。在食用“典型美国”饮食(TAD)七至八周后首次测量25(OH)D3浓度,该饮食中37%、18%和45%的热量分别来自脂肪、蛋白质来源和碳水化合物,并补充维生素D至相当于人类每日1000国际单位的量。当动物转而食用低脂标准饼干饮食(LabDiet 5038)8个月时再次评估维生素D浓度,该饮食提供相当于人类每日约4000国际单位的维生素D。所有统计分析均在SOLAR中进行。
妊娠与25(OH)D3浓度降低有关。遗传力分析表明,在食用饼干饮食(h(2)=0.66,P=0.0004)和TAD饮食(h(2)=0.67,P=0.0078)的同一批猴子中,25(OH)D3浓度存在显著的遗传贡献,食用饼干饮食的动物25(OH)D3浓度更高。此外,仅在食用TAD饮食的动物中,25(OH)D3浓度存在显著的基因型与妊娠状态的相互作用(P<0.05)。
这些结果支持血清25(OH)D3浓度差异存在遗传贡献,且强调了饮食(包括维生素D补充)在改变遗传信号以及维生素D浓度方面的作用。
