The objective of this study was to evaluate the effects of low protein diets added with protease on growth performance, nutrient digestibility, and blood profiles of weaned piglets and growing-finishing pigs. A total of 96 weaned pigs ([Yorkshire × Landrace] × Duroc) with average body weight (BW) of 6.99 ± 0.21 kg were used in a 20-week experiment. The dietary treatments were arranged in a 2 × 3 factorial design. Treatments were as follows: In phase 1 (1-2 weeks), two protein levels as high protein (HP; 19.0%), low protein (LP; 17.0%), and three protease (PT) levels (PT0, 0%; PT1, 0.3%; and PT2, 0.5%); in phase 2 (3-4 weeks), protein levels (HP, 18.05%; LP, 16.15%) and protease levels (0%, 0.3%, and 0.5%); in phase 3 (5-12 weeks), protein levels (HP, 17.1%; LP, 15.3%) and protease level (0%, 0.15%, and 0.3%); in phase 4 (13-20 weeks), protein levels (HP, 16.15%; LP, 14.45%) and protease level (0%, 0.15%, and 0.3%). At 4 weeks and 20 weeks after treatment, BW was higher (p < 0.050) in the PT2 group than PT0 group. From weeks 0 to 4, average daily gain (ADG) and feed efficiency (G/F) were higher (p = 0.006 and p = 0.014; p = 0.014 and p = 0.044, respectively) in the PT2 group than PT0 and PT1 groups. From weeks 16 to 20, ADG and G/F were higher (p < 0.001 and p = 0.009; p = 0.004 and p = 0.033, respectively) in the PT2 group than PT0 and PT1 groups. Crude protein (CP) digestibility was higher (p = 0.013, p = 0.014, and p = 0.035, respectively) in the low protein (LP) group than high protein (HP) group at weeks 4, 12, and 20. At weeks 4 and 20, the LP diet group had lower (p < 0.001 and p = 0.001, respectively) blood urea nitrogen (BUN) levels than the HP diet group. Therefore, a low CP diet added with protease could increase growth performance and CP digestibility of weaned piglets and growing-finishing pigs.

Patients with diabetes mellitus (DM) often suffer from diverse skin disorders, which might be attributable to skin barrier dysfunction. To explore the role of lipid alterations in the epidermis in DM skin disorders, we quantitated 49 lipids (34 ceramides, 14 free fatty acids (FFAs), and cholesterol) in the skin epidermis, liver, and kidneys of db/db mice, a Type 2 DM model, using UPLC-MS/MS. The expression of genes involved in lipid synthesis was also evaluated. With the full establishment of hyperglycemia at the age of 20 weeks, remarkable lipid enrichment was noted in the skin of the db/db mice, especially at the epidermis and subcutaneous fat bed. Prominent increases in the ceramides and FFAs (>3 fold) with short or medium chains ($LXR{\alpha}/{\beta}$ and $PPAR{\gamma}$, nuclear receptors promoting lipid synthesis, lipid synthesis enzymes such as elongases 1, 4, and 6, and fatty acid synthase and stearoyl-CoA desaturase were highly expressed in the skin and livers of the db/db mice. Collectively, our study demonstrates an extensive alteration in the skin and systemic lipid profiles of db/db mice, which could contribute to the development of skin disorders in DM.

Shortage of protein feed resources is the major challenge to the world farm animal industry. Insects are known as an alternative protein source for poultry. A wide range of insects are available for use in poultry diets. Insect larvae thrive in manure, and organic waste, and produce antimicrobial peptides to protect themselves from microbial infections, and additionally these peptides might also be functional in poultry feed. The feed containing antimicrobial peptides can improve the growth performance, nutrient digestibility, intestinal health, and immune function in poultry. Insect meal contains a higher amount of essential amino acids compared to conventional feedstuffs. Black soldier fly, mealworm, housefly, cricket/Grasshopper/Locust (Orthoptera), silkworm, and earthworm are the commonly used insect meals in broiler and laying hen diets. This paper summarizes the nutrient profiles of the insect meals and reviews their efficacy when included in poultry diets. Due to the differences in insect meal products, and breeds of poultry, inconsistent results were noticed among studies. The main challenge for proper utilization, and the promising prospect of insect meal in poultry diet are also addressed in the paper. To fully exploit insect meal as an alternative protein resource, and exert their functional effects, modes of action need to be understood. With the emergence of more accurate and reliable studies, insect meals will undoubtedly play more important role in poultry feed industry.

Thirty-six weaned piglets with an initial body weight (BW) of 8.43 ± 0.40 kg (28 days of age, ([Landrace × Yorkshire] × Duroc) were randomly assigned to 6 treatments for a 2-week feeding trial to determine the effects of different inorganic zinc (IZ), organic zinc (OZ) or combination of low crude protein diet (LP) and Mixed feed additive (MFA) on diarrhea score, nutrient digestibility, zinc utilization, blood profiles, organ weight, and fecal microflora in weaned piglet diet. The pigs were individually placed in 45 × 55 × 45 cm stainless steel metabolism cages in an environmentally controlled room (30 ± 1℃). The dietary treatments included a negative control (NC), positive control (PC; zinc oxide, 1,000 mg/kg), T1 (IZ : OZ, 850 : 150), T2 (IZ : OZ 700 : 300), T3 (IZ : OZ, 500 : 500), and T4 (LP + MFA [0.1% Essential oils + 0.08% Protease + 0.02% Xylanase]). The daily feed allowance was adjusted to 2.7 times the maintenance requirement for digestible energy (2.7 × 110 kcal of DE/kg BW^0.75). This allowance was divided into two equal parts, and the piglets were fed at 08 : 30 and 17 : 30 each day. Water was provided ad libitum through a drinking nipple. The diarrhea score was significantly increased (p < 0.05) in NC treatment compared with other treatments. The apparent total tract digestibility (ATTD) of dry matter (DM), nitrogen (N), and gross energy (GE) was significantly increased (p < 0.05) in the T2 treatment compared with the PC and NC treatments in week 1. In week 2, the ATTD of DM, N, and GE was significantly decreased (p < 0.05) in the NC treatment compared with other treatments. The T3 treatment had significantly higher (p < 0.05) ATTD and apparent ileal digestibility of zinc than the PC and T1 treatments. The Escherichia coli count in feces was significantly decreased in the T4 treatment compared with the NC and T2 treatments. The Lactobacillus count in feces was significantly increased in the T4 and T1 treatment compared with the T2 and T3 treatments. In conclusion, IZ : OZ 500 : 500 levels could improve nutrient digestibility and zinc utilization in weaned piglets, Moreover, MFA in LP diets could be used as a zinc alternative.

This research was peformed to investigate the anthropometric data, blood profiles, and nutrient intakes of elderly persons living in a rural area. The subjects were 67 undernourished people who participated in follow-up nutrition intervention programs for9 weeks. Anthropometric data showed that the mean heights and weights in the management group were 157.6 cm and 59.1 kg, respectively, for the males and 152.6 cm and 51.0 kg, respectively, for the females. The mean BMIs of the management group were 23.8 kg/m$^2$ in the males and 22.4 kg/m$^2$ in the females. The total cholesterol, HDL-cholesterol, and albumin levels of the subjects were 181.7-191.4mg/dL, 48.3-53.0mg/dL, and 3.85-4.00g/dL, respectively. Energy, ash, P, Na, vitamin B$_1$, vitamin B$_2$, vitamin B$_6$, and niacin increased significantly after intervention for the management group. The mINQ, however, did not significantly increase after intervention. Also after intervention, there was no significant difference in mINQ between the management group and the comparison group. MAR (14) in the management group was significantly increased from 0.62${\pm}$0.2 before intervention to 0.68${\pm}$0.2 after intervention (p=0.022), and it was significantly different between the management group and the comparison group (p=0.017). MAR (8) in the management group was not significantly different (p=0.915) before and after intervention. However, MAR (8) between the management group and the comparison group did show a significant difference (p=0.031). MAR (3) in the management group was significantly increased from 0.48${\pm}$0.2 before intervention to 0.55${\pm}$0.2 after intervention (p=0.045), however, MAR (3) was not significantly different between the management group and the comparison group (p=0.093). For the probability of nutrient insufficiency, in the management group the probability of nutrient values below the EAR (except for Fe) decreased after intervention compared to before intervention. On the other hand, the probabilities of values above the RI, or EAR${\sim}$RI, were increased

Selenium (Se) is an essential trace mineral that plays an important role in physiological processes by regulating the antioxidant defense system and enhancing immunity. Chromium is an essential mineral involved in carbohydrate and lipid metabolism and also plays a role in maintaining normal insulin function. Based on these advantages, we hypothesized that the addition of selenomethionine (SeMet) and organic chromium (OC) to broiler diets would increase Se deposition, antioxidant capacity and immune response in meat. Therefore, this study analyzed the effects of OC and SeMet on growh performance, nutrients digestibility, blood profiles, intestinal morphology, meat quality characteristics, and taxonomic analysis of broilers. A total of 168 one-day-old broiler chicken (Arbor Acres) were randomly allotted to 3 groups based on the initial body weight of 37.33 ± 0.24 g with 7 replicate per 8 birds (mixed sex). The experiments period was 28 days. Dietary treatments were folloewd: Basal diets based on corn-soybean meal (CON), basal diet supplemented with 0.2 ppm OC and 0.2 ppm SeMet (CS4), and basal diet supplemented with 0.4 ppm OC and 0.4 ppm SeMet (CS8). Supplementation of OC and SeMet did not affect on growth performance, nutrient digestibility. However, CS8 supplementation increased in duodenum villus height and villus height : crypt depth, and increased in breast meat Se deposition. In addition, CS8 group showed higher uric acid and total antioxidant status than CON group. Taxonomic analysis at phylum level revealed that Proteobacteria and Firmicutes of CS4 and CS8 were lower than CON group. In genus level, the relative abundance of fecal Lactobacillus and Enterococcus of CS4 and CS8 groups were higher than CON group. In short, 0.4 ppm OC and 0.4 ppm SeMet supplementation to broiler diet supporitng positive gut microbiome change, also enhancing antioxidant capacity, and Se deposition in breast meat.

해조류는 풍부한 필수 영양소 공급으로 인해 귀중한 해양 자원으로 여겨지며 특히 단백질과 아미노산이 풍부하게 함유되어 있다. 한국에서는 500종 이상의 해조류가 서식하며 그 중 50종 이상이 식품용으로 이용되어 일상 식단의 중심 역할을 한다. 본 연구는 한국에서 가장 흔히 섭취되는 해조류 5종(매생이, 톳, 김, 다시마, 미역; Capsosiphon fulvescens, Hizikia fusiforme, Porphyra yezoensis, Saccharina japonica, Undaria pinnatifida)의 단백질 구성 아미노산을 분석하였다. 고성능 액체 크로마토그래피 분석 결과, 아스파르트산, 글루탐산, 알라닌, 류신이 가장 풍부한 아미노산 성분임을 알 수 있었다. 주성분 분석에서는 이 다섯 종류의 해조류가 아미노산 구성에 따라 세 개의 군집으로 분류될 수 있었고, 이는 부분적으로 계통 분류 결과와 일치하였다. 다양한 아미노산 중에서도 글루탐산, 아스파르트산, 알라닌이 구분을 주도하는 주요 아미노산이였다. 특히, 가까운 계통적 근접성을 보이는 Undaria pinnatifida와 Capsosiphon fulvescens는 뚜렷하게 유사한 아미노산 프로필을 나타내었다. 그에 비해 Porphyra yezoensis와 Saccharina japonica는 계통적 관계를 공유하더라도 다른 아미노산 구성을 보였다. Hizikia fusiforme는 두 분석 모두에서 독특한 군집으로 나타났다.

남해대륙붕 가막만의 현생퇴적층 음향특성과 분포양상을 조사하기 위해 고해상도 탄성파 자료와 퇴적물을 분석하였다. 표층퇴적물의 입도는 주로 $6.3{\sim}9.7{\Phi}$의 분포를 보인다. 퇴적물은 니질과 실트로 구성되어 있으며, 내만으로 갈수록 입도가 감소한다. 고해상도 탄성파 자료에서 나타나는 가막만의 층서는 하부 경계면인 음향기반암 위로 2개의 퇴적층서(GB I과 II)로 구성되며 이들 층서는 중간 반사 경계면(최대해침면)에 의해 구분된다. 매우 불규칙한 형태를 보이는 음향기반암은 일반적으로 해수면 아래 약 20 m에서부터 최대 40 m 깊이에서 나타나며, 남쪽으로 갈수록 깊어진다. 하부층인 GB I은 수로를 피복하는 형태로 발달하고 있으며 무층리 반사 특징을 보인다. 이는 후기 해침동안 퇴적된 해침퇴적계열(TST)로, 조간대환경 퇴적층으로 해석할 수 있다. 최대해침면은 평균 해수면 아래 약 15 m에서부터 28 m 깊이에서 나타나며, 탄성파 단면상에서 편평하고 연속적인 반사면으로 나타난다. 최대해침면 위에 놓여있는 GB II는 투명 혹은 반투명한 음향특성, 그리고 평행한 반사 층리로 구성되며, 해수면이 현재의 위치에 도달했던 지난 6,000년 이후에 퇴적된 고해수면 퇴적계열(HST)로 해석된다. 특히, GB II 퇴적층은 고해수면 반사 경계면에 의해 2개의 층(GB II-a and II-b)으로 세분화되며 이는 바람, 해수 유동량, 그리고 조류에 의해 구분된 것으로 생각된다.

동해 울릉 분지 내 메탄 하이드레이트가 매장된 지역에서 혐기적 메탄 산화와 연관된 미생물 군집 특성을 이해하기 위해 메탄 누출이 있는 대륙사면 정점(UBGH2-3)과 메탄 누출이 없는 분지 정점(UBGH2-10)에서, (1) 퇴적물의 지화학적 성분 및 황산염 환원율을 측정하였으며, (2) 기능성 유전자 분석을 통해 혐기적 메탄 산화 미생물 및 황산염 환원 미생물 군집의 정량 및 다양성 분석을 수행하여 그 결과를 비교하였다. 황산염-메탄 전이지대(sulfate and methane transition zone, SMTZ)는 UBGH2-3에서 0.5~1.5 mbsf (meters below seafloor), 그리고 UBGH2-10에서는 6~7 mbsf에 분포하는 것으로 나타났다. 두 지역의 SMTZ에서 측정된 황산염 환원율은 UBGH2-3의 1.15 mbsf에서 $1.82nmol\;cm^{-3}d^{-1}$으로 나타났고, UBGH2-10의 SMTZ에서 황산염 환원율은 $4.29nmol\;cm^{-3}d^{-1}$으로 높은 값을 보였다. 총 미생물 16S rRNA gene과 기능성 유전자인 mcrA (methyl coenzyme M reductase subunit A) 및 dsrA (dissimilatory sulfite reductase subunit A)의 정량 PCR 결과 두 정점의 SMTZ 부근에서 상대적으로 높게 검출되었다. 그러나 UBGH2-10지역에서 mcrA 유전자는 SMTZ 아래인 9.8 bmsf에서 가장 높게 검출되었다. mcrA 유전자의 다양성 분석 결과 두 지역의 SMTZ와 그 아래 퇴적층에서 혐기성 메탄산화 고세균(ANME: Anaerobic MEthanothoph) 군집인 ANME-1이 우점하였다. 한편, ANME-2 군집은 메탄 누출이 발생하는 UBGH2-3지역의 2.2 mbsf 층에서만 관찰되었고, 더불어 dsr 유전자 다양성 분석 결과 ANME-2와 컨소시엄을 이루는 Desulfosarcina-Desulfococcus (DSS) 이 나타났다. 본 연구 결과, ANME-1과 ANME-2은 동해 심부 퇴적 환경에서 혐기적 메탄 산화 및 생성 과정에 관여하는 중요한 고세균 군집으로 사료되며, 또한 ANME-2/DSS 컨소시엄은 메탄이 누출되는 지역인 UBGH2-3과 같이 혐기적 메탄 산화가 활발한 곳에서 메탄 거동을 조절하는 중요한 미생물 그룹으로 인식된다.
