Compared with Raw Bovine Meat, Boiling but Not Grilling, Barbecuing, or Roasting Decreases Protein Digestibility without Any Major Consequences for Intestinal Mucosa in Rats, although the Daily Ingestion of Bovine Meat Induces Histologic Modifications in the Colon [Nutrient Physiology, Metabolism, and Nutrient-Nutrient Interactions]

Background: Cooking may impair meat protein digestibility. When undigested proteins are fermented by the colon microbiota, they can generate compounds that potentially are harmful to the mucosa.

Objectives: This study addressed the effects of typical cooking processes and the amount of bovine meat intake on the quantity of undigested proteins entering the colon, as well as their effects on the intestinal mucosa.

Methods: Male Wistar rats (n = 88) aged 8 wk were fed 11 different diets containing protein as 20% of energy. In 10 diets, bovine meat proteins represented 5% [low-meat diet (LMD)] or 15% [high-meat diet (HMD)] of energy, with the rest as total milk proteins. Meat was raw or cooked according to 4 processes (boiled, barbecued, grilled, or roasted). A meat-free diet contained only milk proteins. After 3 wk, rats ingested a ¹⁵N-labeled meat meal and were killed 6 h later after receiving a ¹³C-valine injection. Meat protein digestibility was determined from ¹⁵N enrichments in intestinal contents. Cecal short- and branched-chain fatty acids and hydrogen sulfide were measured. Intestinal tissues were used for the assessment of protein synthesis rates, inflammation, and histopathology.

Results: Meat protein digestibility was lower in rats fed boiled meat (94.5% ± 0.281%) than in the other 4 groups (97.5% ± 0.0581%, P < 0.001). Cecal and colonic bacterial metabolites, inflammation indicators, and protein synthesis rates were not affected by cooking processes. The meat protein amount had a significant effect on cecal protein synthesis rates (LMD > HMD) and on myeloperoxidase activity in the proximal colon (HMD > LMD), but not on other outcomes. The ingestion of bovine meat, whatever the cooking process and the intake amount, resulted in discrete histologic modifications of the colon (epithelium abrasion, excessive mucus secretion, and inflammation).

Conclusions: Boiling bovine meat at a high temperature (100°C) for a long time (3 h) moderately lowered protein digestibility compared with raw meat and other cooking processes, but did not affect cecal bacterial metabolites related to protein fermentation. The daily ingestion of raw or cooked bovine meat had no marked effect on intestinal tissues, despite some slight histologic modifications on distal colon.

Tissue Concentrations of Vitamin K and Expression of Key Enzymes of Vitamin K Metabolism Are Influenced by Sex and Diet but Not Housing in C57Bl6 Mice [Nutrient Physiology, Metabolism, and Nutrient-Nutrient Interactions]

Background: There has been limited characterization of biological variables that impact vitamin K metabolism. This gap in knowledge can limit the translation of data obtained from preclinical animal studies to future human studies.

Objective: The purpose of this study was to determine the effects of diet, sex, and housing on serum, tissue, and fecal vitamin K concentrations and gene expression in C57BL6 mice during dietary vitamin K manipulation.

Methods: C57BL6 4-mo-old male and female mice were randomly assigned to conventional or suspended-wire cages and fed control [1400 ± 80 μg phylloquinone (PK)/kg] or deficient (31 ± 0.45 μg PK/kg) diets for 28 d in a factorial design. PK and menaquinone (MK) 4 plasma and tissue concentrations were measured by HPLC. Long-chain MKs were measured in all matrices by LC-atmospheric pressure chemical ionization-mass spectrometry. Gene expression was quantified by reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction in the liver, brain, kidney, pancreas, and adipose tissue.

Results: Male and female mice responded differently to dietary manipulation in a tissue-dependent manner. In mice fed the control diet, females had ~3-fold more MK4 in the brain and mesenteric adipose tissue than did males and 100% greater PK concentrations in the liver, kidney, and mesenteric adipose tissue than did males. In mice fed the deficient diet, kidney MK4 concentrations were ~4-fold greater in females than in males, and there were no differences in other tissues. Males and females differed in the expression of vitamin K expoxide reductase complex 1 (Vkorc1) in mesenteric adipose tissue and the pancreas and ubiA domain–containing protein 1 (Ubiad1) in the kidney and brain. There was no effect of housing on serum, tissue, or fecal concentrations of any vitamin K form.

Conclusions: Vitamin K concentrations and expression of key metabolic enzymes differ between male and female mice and in response to the dietary PK concentration. Identifying factors that may impact study design and outcomes of interest is critical to optimize study parameters examining vitamin K metabolism in animal models.

Dietary Supplementation with {alpha}-Ketoglutarate Activates mTOR Signaling and Enhances Energy Status in Skeletal Muscle of Lipopolysaccharide-Challenged Piglets [Nutrient Physiology, Metabolism, and Nutrient-Nutrient Interactions]

Background: Skeletal muscle undergoes rapid loss in response to inflammation. α-Ketoglutarate (AKG) has been reported to enhance muscle growth in piglets, but the underlying mechanisms are largely unknown.

Objectives: This study tested the hypothesis that dietary AKG supplementation activates mechanistic target of rapamycin (mTOR) signaling and improves skeletal muscle energy metabolism in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-challenged piglets.

Methods: Forty-eight male piglets (Duroc x Landrace x Yorkshire) were weaned at 21 d of age to a corn- and soybean meal–based diet. After a 3-d period of adaptation, piglets with a mean weight of 7.21 kg were randomly assigned to control, LPS (intraperitoneal administration of 80 μg LPS/kg body weight on days 10, 12, 14, and 16), or LPS plus 1% dietary AKG (LPS+AKG) groups. On day 16, blood samples were collected from 8 piglets/group 3 h after LPS administration. On day 17, piglets were killed to obtain gastrocnemius muscle from 8 piglets/group for biochemical analysis.

Results: Compared with the control group, LPS administration increased (P < 0.05) plasma concentrations of globulin (by 14%) and tumor necrosis factor α (by 59%) and the intramuscular ratio of AMP to ATP (by 93%) and abundance of phosphorylated acetyl–coenzyme A carboxylase (ACC) β protein (by 64%). Compared with the control group, LPS administration reduced (P < 0.05) weight gain (by 15%); plasma concentrations of glutamine (by 20%), glucose (by 23%), insulin, insulin-like growth factor I, and epidermal growth factor; intramuscular concentrations of glutamine (by 27%), ATP (by 12%), ADP (by 22%), and total adenine nucleotides; and intramuscular ratios of phosphorylated mTOR to total mTOR (by 38%) and of phosphorylated 70-kDa ribosomal protein S6 kinase (p70S6K) to total p70S6K (by 39%). These adverse effects of LPS were ameliorated (P < 0.05) by AKG supplementation.

Conclusions: Dietary AKG supplementation activated mTOR signaling, inhibited ACC-β, and improved energy status in skeletal muscle of LPS-challenged piglets. These results provide a biochemical basis for the use of AKG to enhance piglet growth under inflammatory or practical postweaning conditions.

Dietary Iron Deficiency and Oversupplementation Increase Intestinal Permeability, Ion Transport, and Inflammation in Pigs [Nutrient Physiology, Metabolism, and Nutrient-Nutrient Interactions]

Background: Understanding the influence of dietary iron deficiency and dietary iron oversupplementation on intestinal health is important for both animal production and human health.

Objective: The aim of this study was to determine whether dietary iron concentration influences intestinal physiology, morphology, and inflammation in the porcine duodenum.

Methods: Twenty-four male pigs (21 d old) were fed diets containing either 20 mg Fe/kg [low dietary iron (L-Fe)], 120 mg Fe/kg [adequate dietary iron (A-Fe); control], or 520 mg Fe/kg [high dietary iron (H-Fe)] by FeSO₄ supplement (dry matter basis). After 32–36 d, the duodenum was harvested from pigs and mounted in Ussing chambers for the measurement of transepithelial electrical resistance (TER), short-circuit current, and ³H-mannitol permeability. Intestinal morphology and inflammation were assessed by histologic examination, and proinflammatory gene expression was assessed by real-time polymerase chain reaction.

Results: Compared with A-Fe–fed pigs, pigs fed L-Fe diets exhibited reduced TER (by 30%; P < 0.05). Compared with that of A-Fe–fed controls, the paracellular flux of ³H-mannitol across the duodenal mucosa was higher (P < 0.05) in L-Fe–fed (>100%) and H-Fe–fed (~4-fold) pigs; the L-Fe–fed and H-Fe–fed groups did not differ significantly from one another. Compared with the L-Fe–fed pigs, the A-Fe–fed and H-Fe–fed pigs had malondialdehyde concentrations 1.4- and 2.5-fold higher in the duodenum and 4.4- and 6.6-fold higher in the liver, respectively (P < 0.05). Neutrophil counts were higher in both the L-Fe–fed (by 3-fold) and H-Fe–fed (by 3.3-fold) groups than in the A-Fe–fed group; the L-Fe–fed and H-Fe–fed groups did not significantly differ from one another. Duodenal mucosal tumor necrosis factor α (TNFA), interleukin (IL) 1β, and IL6 relative gene expression was upregulated by 36%, 28%, and 45%, respectively, in H-Fe pigs (P < 0.05), but not in L-Fe pigs, compared with A-Fe pigs.

Conclusion: These data suggest that adequate but not oversupplementation of dietary iron in pigs is required to maintain intestinal barrier health and function.

Beating osteoarthritis knee pain: Beyond special shoes

We have plenty of fairy tales about shoes that work magic in people’s lives: glass slippers that brought love to Cinderella, and sparkly red heels that gave Dorothy powers in MGM’s version of The Wizard of Oz.

In real life, footwear magic is limited to “unloading” shoes that may help relieve knee pain from osteoarthritis. These unloading shoes have stiffer soles, and slightly tilted insoles that reposition the foot, intended to reduce (or unload) strain on the knee. But a study published online July 12, 2016, in Annals of Internal Medicine suggests that unloading shoes are no better than a good pair of walking shoes at making pain disappear.

About the study

Researchers randomly assigned 164 people with knee arthritis (age 50 or older) to wear either new unloading shoes or new conventional walking shoes every day for six months. By the end of the study, it appeared that both types of shoes were equally effective at reducing pain and improving physical function, with pain reduced an average of about 25%, and function improved by about 22%. It didn’t prove that both shoes are equally effective, but an editorial accompanying the study says the findings highlight “the promise of simple biomechanical interventions” to address knee pain.

Both shoes used in the study cost $180. But custom-made unloading shoes, and even custom-made insoles that can be inserted into a shoe, can cost many hundreds of dollars.

What to look for in a walking shoe

If you’re going to try a walking shoe to reduce your knee pain, look for certain features, such as:

• a “stability-type” sneaker with a rigid sole and supportive insole
• a slightly curved “rocker” sole that helps distribute the body more weight evenly as you walk. This sole may not be right for you if you have balance problems.

And remember that fit is important, too. Seek out:

• a wide, roomy toe area (what shoe salespeople call the toe box)
• length at least half an inch beyond your longest toe
• a sturdy area around your heel (called a heel counter), so your foot stays in place and doesn’t slip around, which can cause friction and pain.

“Most of the sneaker brands make this shoe (New balance, Brooks, Saucony, Asics), so they are widely available. The take home here is that any supportive, rocker-bottom type shoe makes walking with knee osteoarthritis easier,” says Dr. Holly Johnson, an orthopaedic surgeon and instructor at Harvard Medical School. “The other important thing is that keeping physically active is so crucial to bone and joint health. If the shoes make people feel better when they walk, and therefore they walk more, this leads to so many health benefits. Find something comfortable and go with it.”

Other options

Walking shoes aren’t the only way to relieve knee pain without surgery. “I see success stories without surgery every day,” says Dr. Clare Safran-Norton, Clinical Supervisor of Rehabilitation Services at Harvard-affiliated Brigham and Women’s Hospital.

Her top recommendations include:

• Physical therapy: Dr. Safron-Norton suggests that a person with knee arthritis undergo at least three months of physical therapy as a first line of treatment. The program should include a series of exercises to strengthen and stretch the muscles that support the knee.
• Weight loss: Shedding pounds reduces the pressure you place on your knee. That’s significant, since the force you place on your joints can be up to six times your body weight.
• Injections: Corticosteroid injections can temporarily reduce pain and swelling, which can make it less painful to take part in physical therapy.
• Acupuncture: The studies about whether acupuncture relieves knee pain are mixed, but Safran-Norton says the treatment is helpful to some people. “If the problem is pain, it may work. If the problem is biomechanical or weak muscles, it probably won’t.”
• Supplements: Research has provided mixed results on chondroitin and glucosamine supplements to relieve pain, but Safran-Norton says some of her patients feel the pills make a difference. Chondroitin sulfate helps to keep cartilage from deteriorating. Glucosamine stimulates cartilage formation and repair.

Don’t expect these things to work magic overnight. “You’ll feel a difference after going to physical therapy once or twice a week for two-to-four weeks,” says Safran-Norton. The rest of the methods are used best in conjunction with physical therapy, not in place of it, she advises.

With a little trial and error, you have a good chance of finding knee pain relief without surgery — and you may get a fairy tale ending. If knee pain persists, you may need to speak with an orthopaedic expert about surgery. But save that for a last resort.
