Effects of Genotype, Environment, and Feeding Antibiotics on Serum Concentrations of IGF-I and α1-Acid Glycoprotein
نویسندگان
چکیده
It has long been known that management practices such as genetic selection, all-in/all-out (AIAO), segregated early weaning (SEW), and feeding diets containing antimicrobials have the potential to increase the efficiency of lean pork production. However, the physiological reasons for this increase in efficiency have yet to be fully discovered. It is common knowledge that pigs subjected to pathogens and other stressors do not reach their genetic lean growth potential. Possible blood-borne markers for lean growth potential and immune system activation include insulin-like growth factor-I (IGF-I) and α1-acid glycoprotein (AGP).

The effects of starvation and subsequent re-feeding on compensatory growth performance, blood serum metabolites and IGF-ImRNA expression in liver and muscle were investigated in juvenile Persian sturgeon. Growth indices including body weight, SGR, CF, and HSI significantly decreased after starvation. However, after re-feeding sturgeons that were starved for 1 week reached the same weight as the...

Background: One of the most important metabolic factors affecting the reproductive activity is insulin-like growth factor-I (IGFI) concentration changes after calving. Recently, Maj et al. (2008) discovered a significant association between the IGF-I genotypes based on the 5'-untranslatedregion (5'-UTR) of IGF-I gene and the IGF-I blood level. The objective of this study is to investi...
