Alpha-tocopherol acquisition by plasma lipoproteins and changes in lipoprotein profile after cardiac surgery

Hacquebard, Mirjam 30 June 2008 (has links)
Alpha-tocopherol, the most abundant form of vitamin E in man, is transported in the circulation by plasma lipoproteins. It plays important roles, not only in preventing lipid peroxidation, but also in modulating several cell functions such as cell signaling and gene expression. While chylomicrons transport dietary alpha-tocopherol after intestinal absorption, LDL and HDL are the major carriers of alpha-tocopherol in fasting plasma and largely contribute to its delivery to cells and tissues. Exchanges of alpha-tocopherol occur between plasma lipoproteins. In addition, alpha-tocopherol transfers have also been observed, in both directions, between plasma lipoproteins and artificial chylomicrons such as intravenous lipid emulsion particles used in parenteral nutrition. In acute conditions, intravenous supply of vitamin E via lipid emulsions, which bypasses the intestinal tract, may offer some advantages over oral administration to rapidly increase alpha-tocopherol plasma concentration. However, many questions remain unanswered regarding kinetics and factors facilitating vitamin E exchanges between lipid emulsions and plasma lipoproteins. The first part of this work aimed at characterizing alpha-tocopherol transfers between alpha-tocopherol rich emulsion particles and plasma lipoproteins as well as the potential for plasma proteins to modulate such transfers. An in vitro model of incubation was used in which emulsion triglyceride concentration was relatively low and lipoprotein levels comparable to those commonly found in the circulation. Results indicate a high capacity for LDL and HDL to acquire extra-amounts of alpha-tocopherol by rapid mass transfers from alpha-tocopherol-rich emulsion particles. Data further shows that, at a fixed alpha-tocopherol concentration provided by emulsion particles, the limiting factor for alpha-tocopherol enrichment is not the capacity of plasma lipoproteins to accommodate extra-amounts of alpha-tocopherol but the facilitating effect of plasma proteins on alpha-tocopherol transfer, the duration of the incubation and possibly the competition between different acceptor particles. Two lipid transfer proteins, PLTP and CETP, appear to largely mediate facilitation of alpha-tocopherol transfer; however, other plasma proteins may be involved. Data further shows that alpha-tocopherol enriched LDL and HDL can readily transfer newly acquired alpha-tocopherol to cells, without any regulation by plasma proteins. Short-term prophylactic vitamin E supplementation has been suggested to be beneficial in some patients in acute conditions who present reduced plasma vitamin E concentrations in association with important changes in plasma lipids and severe oxidative stress. However, it was not clear whether low plasma vitamin E concentration in critically ill patients is related to changes in the composition of plasma lipoproteins or to a decrease in the number of alpha-tocopherol carriers. In the second part of this work, two clinical studies were conducted to analyze changes of lipoprotein concentration and composition in relation to inflammatory reaction and oxidative stress in selected subgroups of critically ill patients, namely patients undergoing cardiac surgery with different procedures. Important changes in LDL and HDL lipid content were observed, some of which contrast with previous observations made in critically ill septic patients. The reduced plasma level of alpha-tocopherol measured after cardiac surgery is entirely due to a reduced number of circulating LDL and HDL particles. Data suggests that such reduced number in alpha-tocopherol carriers post-surgery may impede the delivery of alpha-tocopherol to cells in conditions of increased requirements due to oxidative stress. Avoidance of extracorporeal circulation during cardiac surgery does not reduce inflammation-related changes in plasma lipids but largely prevents oxidative stress. This data on changes occurring in plasma lipoproteins may help to better define strategies against pro-inflammatory changes or oxidative stress. If further studies would confirm a clinical benefit with evidence-based rationale, alpha-tocopherol enriched lipid emulsions may be used to guarantee a sufficient alpha-tocopherol supply in acute conditions associated with fewer alpha-tocopherol transporters and increased requirements due to high risk of oxidative tissue injury.

Genetic Determinants of Plasma alpha-tocopherol

Garofalo, Francesca 27 June 2013 (has links)
alpha-tocopherol is the most abundant form of vitamin E in human plasma and tissues. Inter-individual differences in plasma alpha-tocopherol concentration or its response to dietary alpha-tocopherol may be due, in part, to polymorphisms in vitamin E metabolism genes (alpha-tocopherol transfer protein (alpha-TTP), tocopherol associated protein (TAP) and CYP4F2). The thesis objectives were to determine whether common polymorphisms in the alpha-TTP (rs6994076 A>T), TAP (rs2072157 C>T and Arg11Lys) and CYP4F2 (Val433Met) genes influence plasma alpha-tocopherol concentration or modify the association between dietary and plasma alpha-tocopherol. Subjects (n=1248), 20 to 29 years from the Toronto Nutrigenomics and Health study completed a food frequency questionnaire. Fasting blood samples were used for genotyping and to measure plasma alpha-tocopherol concentration. The alpha-TTP and TAP Arg11Lys polymorphisms significantly altered plasma alpha-tocopherol. The alpha-TTP polymorphism only influenced plasma alpha-tocopherol in individuals not using supplements. None of the polymorphisms examined modified the plasma alpha-tocopherol response to dietary alpha-tocopherol.

Carvalho, Débora Dias de 06 March 2018 (has links)
O objetivo deste trabalho foi estudar os efeitos da administração parenteral de vitamina E no desempenho produtivo e na sensibilidade à insulina de cordeiros nascidos de ovelhas suplementadas ou não com vitamina E no 108º dia de gestação. Foram utilizados 28 cordeiros em delineamento de blocos casualizados, considerando o sexo dos cordeiros e tipo de gestação, se única ou gemelar; com planejamento fatorial 2X2, em que foram considerados cordeiros de ovelhas que receberam ou não vitamina E e cordeiros que receberam ou não vitamina E na dosagem de 60 UI/kg PV até 24 horas após o nascimento, distribuindo em quatro grupos: EE: Cordeiros e ovelhas que receberam vitamina E; EC: Cordeiros que receberam veículo oleoso (controle) nascidos de ovelhas que receberam vitamina E; CC: Cordeiros e ovelhas que receberam veículo oleoso; CE: Cordeiros que receberam vitamina E nascidos de ovelhas que receberam veículo oleoso. Para detecção da sensibilidade à insulina, aos 28 dias de vida (T1) os cordeiros foram submetidos ao teste de tolerância à glicose (TTG). Foram determinados aos dois (T0) e aos 28 (T1) dias de vida as atividades de CK, AST, GGT, SOD, GSH-Px; o status antioxidante total (TAS); a habilidade de redução do ferro plasmático (HRFP), as substâncias reativas ao ácido tiobarbitúrico (TBARs); as concentrações de ácido úrico, glicose, ácidos graxos não esterificados (AGNE), betahidroxibutirato (BHB), triglicerídeos, colesterol, cálcio total, cálcio ionizável, proteína total, albumina, ureia, creatinina e a concentração plasmática de vitamina E (alfa-tocoferol). Foram calculados os valores de RQUICKI e de RQUICKI BHB em T0 e em T1. Semanalmente foram acompanhados o peso e o escore de condição corporal dos cordeiros (ECC). Os dados foram analisados utilizando-se o pacote estatístico STATISTICAL ANALYSIS SYSTEM (SAS) e para todos os testes foi adotado o nível de significância de 5%. A administração parenteral de 60 UI/kg de vitamina E em ovelhas no 108o dia de gestação e/ou nas primeiras 24 horas de vida de cordeiros não influenciou as concentrações de cálcio total, proteína total, ureia, albumina, TAS, cortisol, insulina; as concentrações plasmáticas de glicose, colesterol, triglicérides, AGNE, HRFP; as atividades de AST, GGT, GSH-Px e SOD; e os valores de RQUICKI, peso e ECC. Foi observada diminuição da sensibilidade à insulina e concentração de alfa tocoferol no T0 para cordeiros nascidos de ovelhas suplementadas com vitamina E. A suplementação dos cordeiros melhorou o status antioxidante no T0 e a produção de BHB no T1. A suplementação com alfa tocoferol não influenciou no peso vivo e no ECC até a quarta semana de vida do cordeiro. / The objective of this work was to study the effects of parenteral administration of vitamin E on the productive performance and insulin sensitivity of lambs born from ewes supplemented or not with vitamin E on the 108th day of gestation. Twenty-eight lambs received intramuscularly 60 UI/kg BW of vitamin E or oily vehicle until 24 hours after birth and were distributed according to their sex and type of pregnancy (single or twin) into four groups using a 2x2 factorial design: EE: lambs and ewes treated with vitamin E; EC: Lambs that received oily vehicle (control) born from ewe treated with vitamin E; CC: Lambs and ewe that received oily vehicle; EC: Lambs that received vitamin E born from ewe treated with the oily vehicle. At 28 days old, all lambs were submitted to the glucose tolerance test (GTT). At 28 days old, all lambs were submitted to the glucose tolerance test (GTT) to detect insulin sensitivity. The activities of CK, AST, GGT, SOD, GSH-Px; total antioxidant status (TAS); the ability to reduce plasma iron (HRFP), thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARs); the concentrations of uric acid, glucose, non-esterified fatty acids (NEFA), betahydroxybutyrate (BHB), triglycerides, cholesterol, total calcium, ionizable calcium, total protein, albumin, urea, creatinine and plasma concentration of vitamin E (alpha-tocopherol) were determined at 2 (T0) and at 28 (T1) days of life. The RQUICKI and RQUICKI BHB values were calculated in T0 and T1. The body condition score (BCS) and the live weight were measured every week. The data were analyzed using the statistical package STATISTICAL ANALYSIS SYSTEM (SAS) and for all the tests was adopted the level of significance of 5%. Parenteral administration of 60 IU / kg vitamin E in sheep on the 108th day of gestation and / or during the first 24 hours of lamb life did not influence the concentrations of total calcium, total protein, urea, albumin, TAS, cortisol, insulin; plasma concentrations of glucose, cholesterol, triglycerides, NEFA, FRAP; the activities of AST, GGT, GSH-Px and SOD; and the RQUICKI, weight and BSC values. There was only effect related to the age of the lambs for these variables. Decreased insulin sensitivity and increased alpha tocopherol concentration was observed in T0 for lambs born from ewe supplemented with vitamin E. The supplementation of the lambs improved the antioxidant status in T0 and the BHB production in T1. Alfa Tocopherol supplementation did not influence the live weight and BSC until the fourth week of life of the lambs.

Perfil bioquímico, metabolismo oxidativo e qualidade da carne de cordeiros submetidos ao transporte rodoviário tratados com vitamina E / Biochemical profile, oxidative metabolism and meat quality of lambs subjected to road and treated with vitamin E

Nunes, Giovanna Rocha 02 August 2013 (has links)
O presente estudo teve por objetivo avaliar os efeitos da administração intramuscular de alfa-tocoferol (vitamina E) sobre marcadores de estresse fisiológico e oxidativo, além de características relacionadas à qualidade da carne de cordeiros submetidos a transporte rodoviário de curta duração. Vinte e quatro cordeiros, mestiços das raças Santa Inês e Dorper, com idade e peso vivo médios ao abate de 138 dias e 43,6 kg, respectivamente, foram distribuídos em três grupos experimentais nos quais receberam, aos seis e três dias antes do transporte, pela via intramuscular, uma aplicação de solução fisiológica; 10 UI; ou 20 UI de acetato de DL-alfa-tocoferol, por quilo de peso metabólico. O transporte teve duração de quatro horas e na chegada ao abatedouro, os cordeiros desembarcaram em curral de espera, onde permaneceram por 19 horas até o momento do abate. Nos momentos T0 (imediatamente antes do embarque e transporte); T1 (imediatamente após transporte e desembarque); T2 (três horas após transporte e desembarque) e T3 (imediatamente antes do abate) foi aferida a temperatura retal e coletadas amostras de sangue por punção da veia jugular para determinação das concentrações séricas de ureia, creatinina, albumina, proteína total, colesterol e cortisol; concentrações plasmáticas de glicose, beta-hidroxibutirato (BHB), lactato e ácidos graxos não esterificados (AGNE); atividade sérica da creatinofosfoquinase (CK); contagem de hemácias e leucócitos totais; relação neutrófilos:linfócitos; volume globular (VG); atividades eritrocitárias da superóxido dismutase (SOD), glutationa peroxidase (GPx) e glutationa redutase (GR); concentração de glutationa reduzida (GSH); status antioxidante total do soro (TAS) e concentração de substâncias reativas ao ácido tiobarbitúrico (TBARS). Após o abate, as carcaças foram mantidas por 24 horas sob refrigeração a 2°C para que pudessem ser determinados o pH (pH24h) e coloração (L*, a*, b*) do músculo Longissimus dorsi, além de coletadas amostras para posterior avaliação da força de cisalhamento (FC), perdas de peso por cozimento (PPC) e produtos da oxidação lipídica após 30 dias de congelamento (TBARS 30). Houve efeito de interação entre momento e tratamento para lactato, sendo observado efeito linear de tratamento no momento T2, com maiores (P= 0,0111) valores dessa variável nos animais que receberam 20 UI de vitamina E. Ocorreu efeito linear de tratamento (P=0,0149) sobre os valores de TAS. Foi observado efeito de desvio da linearidade para albumina, L* e b*. Animais que receberam 10 UI de vitamina E apresentaram menores concentrações de albumina (P= 0,0447) e maiores valores (P=0,0042 e P=0,0082) de L* e b*. Com exceção da temperatura retal e GR, foi observado efeito de momento para todos os outros marcadores de estresse fisiológico e oxidativo. O transporte rodoviário de curta duração, mesmo quando realizado de maneira adequada, gera estresse nos animais. Estímulos potencialmente nocivos no momento prévio ao abate levaram a estresse de maior intensidade que aquele oriundo do transporte. A administração intramuscular de alfa-tocoferol aumentou o status antioxidante total do soro de cordeiros submetidos a transporte rodoviário de curta duração, entretanto não foi capaz de minimizar as alterações decorrentes do estresse fisiológico e oxidativo e de melhorar a qualidade da carne destes animais. / The present study aimed to evaluate the effects of intramuscular alpha-tocopherol (vitamin E) administration on markers of oxidative and physiological stress, as well characteristics related to meat quality of lambs subjected to road short transport. Twenty-four lambs, Santa Inês and Dorper crossbred, age and average live weight at slaughter of 138 days and 43.6 kg, respectively, were divided into three experimental groups. Each group received an intramuscular application of saline solution or 10 IU or 20 IU of DL-alpha-tocopherol per kg of metabolic body weight at six and three days before transportation. The transportation lasted four hours until the slaughterhouse. After unloading, lambs rested in pen for 19 hours until the time of slaughter. At T0 (immediately prior to boarding and transportation), T1 (immediately after transport and unloading), T2 (three hours after transporting and landing) and T3 (immediately before slaughter) rectal temperature was measured and blood samples were collected by jugular vein puncture for determination of serum urea, creatinine, albumin, total protein, cholesterol and cortisol; plasma concentrations of glucose, beta-hydroxybutyrate (BHB), lactate and non-esterified fatty acids (NEFA); serum activities of aspartate aminotransferase (AST), gamma-glutamyl transferase (GGT) and creatine kinase (CK), erythrocyte and total leukocyte count, ratio neutrophil: lymphocytes, packed cell volume (PCV), erythrocyte activities of superoxide dismutase (SOD), glutathione peroxidase (GPx) and glutathione reductase (GR), concentration of reduced glutathione (GSH), serum total antioxidant status (TAS) and the concentration of thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS). After slaughter, carcasses were kept for 24 hours under refrigeration at 2 °C and were analyzed for Longissimus Dorsi pH (pH24h) and color (L *, a *, b *), and collected samples for subsequent evaluation of shear force (SF), cooking weight loss (CWL) and products of lipid oxidation after 30 days of freezing (TBARS 30). There was an interaction between time and treatment for lactate and was observed a linear effect at the time T2, with increased (P = 0.0111) values of this variable in the animals receiving 20 IU of vitamin E. A linear effect of treatment (P = 0.0149) on the TAS values was observed. Deviation from linearity effect for albumin, L * and b * were seen. Animals that received 10 IU of vitamin E showed lower concentrations of albumin (P = 0.0447) and higher (P = 0.0042 and P = 0.0082) L * and b * values. Except for rectal temperature and GR, moment effect was observed for all other markers of oxidative and physiological stress. The short road transportation, even when done properly, produces stress in animals. Potentially harmful stimuli at the time prior to slaughter led to higher stress intensity than that coming from the transport. Intramuscular administration of alpha-tocopherol increased serum total antioxidant status of lambs subjected to short duration road transport, however was not able to minimize changes arising from physiological and oxidative stress and improve the meat quality of these animals.

Qualidade da carne de bovinos Nelore (Bos taurus indicus) suplementados com vitamina E / Meat quality of Nellore bovine (Bos taurus indicus) supplemented with vitamin E

Pereira, Angélica Simone Cravo 28 June 2002 (has links)
O objetivo deste trabalho foi estudar o efeito da suplementação com vitamina E na alimentação de bovinos Nelore, sobre as características químicas e físico-químicas da carne desses animais. Esses estudos compreenderam: i) coleta de dados objetivos da cor de vários cortes cárneos para realização de um banco de dados; ii) estudo das características físico-químicas de cortes do contra filé (traseiro) e do peixinho (dianteiro) frescos e maturados por até 21 dias; iii) e verificação de possíveis alterações das características físico-químicas, inclusive da cor, de pedaços de contra filé e de carne (patinho) moída mantidas a –18ºC, durante 6 meses. Foram utilizados 24 novilhos Nelore, com 30 meses e peso médio de 279 kg, confinados, com dieta altamente energética, por 98 dias. 12 animais foram submetidos ao tratamento com 1000 mg de acetato de alfa-tocoferol, misturados a 100 g de farelo de milho, enquanto a outra metade recebeu apenas 100 g do farelo de milho. Os animais foram abatidos quando a espessura média da gordura atingiu média de 6 mm, medida por ultra-som, entre a 12ª e 13ª costelas. Coletaram-se então diversos cortes de carnes para a determinação das análises já descritas. No contexto atual das pesquisas, pode-se considerar que a suplementação com Vitamina E em bovinos Nelore não apresentou efeito positivo sobre as características químicas e físico-químicas da carne maturada por até 21 dias e congelada por até 6 meses de congelamento. / In general, the modern consumer uses to evaluate the meat quality through its attributes, such as, muscle color, thickness, tenderness and juiciness, among others. Withstanding the efforts done by Animal Science researchers for the last decades, meat quality can be lost during refrigerate or even frozen conservation due to the occurrence of fatty insaturated acid oxidation. An outlet to avoid this situation might be the use of vitamin E, as a diet supplement for animal feed. The objective of this work was to study the effects of diet supplementation with vitamin E on the physical and chemical characteristics of Nellore bovine meat. This study involved: i) objective data acquisition of color parameters of different muscle sections for data base storing; ii) study of the physical and chemical characteristics of the Longissimus dorsi and Quadriceps femuris muscles fresh and aged for 21 days; iii) and, verification of the possible modifications on the physical and chemical properties, or even color, of the Longissimus dorsi and Quadriceps femuris muscles grounded and kept at –18 ºC for 6 months. There were used 24 Nellore steers, with 30 months and 279 of mean live weight, confined and fed with highly energetic diets (73, 79 and 85 % of concentrate) for 98 days. Daily, half of the animals received 100 mg of acetate of alpha-tocopherol along with 100 g of corn meal, while the other animals were fed only with 100 g of corn meal. The animals were slaugtered when the backfat thickness, within the 12th and 13th ribs, measured by ultrasound, reached 6 mm. Boning and muscle sampling were done 24 hs after slaughter. During this period there were determined the color and pH of various fresh commercial cuts. There were collected 4 Longissimus dorsi and Supraspinatus steaks of every right half carcass, which were vacuum packed and aged for up to 21 days at 0 ºC. Another 7 steaks Quadriceps femuris were collected from the left half carcasses, packed and kept frozen for up to 6 months. There were also frozen in the same conditions, grounded samples of Quadriceps femuris collected from the left half carcass as well. The meat characteristics followed during aging and freezing were: the dry matter content, pH, water loss by exudation and cooking according to classical methods. The color of the samples was determined by a HunterLab colorimeter, using the CIELab color scale. The tenderness was determined using a WB probe with a texture analyzer TA.XT2, at a rate of 500 mm/min. The samples concentration of vitamin E and cholesterol were determined by High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC). The results were statistically analyzed using the SAS software. In general, it was observed that in spite of the vitamin E concentration in the supplemented samples had been greater than from the control ones, it was not confirmed the protecting effect of this vitamin related to color or to texture of meat. The results indicated that at the acetate alpha-tocopherol concentration of the present study, vitamin E supplementation of Nellore bovine did not have influence on the physical and chemical characteristics of meat aged for 21 days and frozen for 6 months.

Adição de óleos funcionais e vitamina E em dietas com elevado teor de concentrado para cordeiros confinados / Addition of functional oils and vitamin E in diets with high concentrate content for confined lambs

Furlan, Maísa de Lourdes do Nascimento 25 September 2017 (has links)
Objetivou-se avaliar o efeito da inclusão de óleos funcionais de rícino (Ricinus communis) e do líquido da casca de castanha de caju (Anacardium occidentale), associados à vitamina E em dietas de alto teor de concentrado para cordeiros confinados, sobre os parâmetros sanguíneos, comportamento ingestivo, desempenho e qualidade de carcaça e da carne. Foram utilizados 30 cordeiros sem padrão racial definido (12 machos não castrados e 18 fêmeas), com idade média de quatro meses e peso vivo inicial de 26 ± 3,6 kg para fêmeas e 28 ± 3,6 kg para machos. Os cordeiros permaneceram confinados por 75 dias. A relação volumoso:concentrado da dieta com base na matéria seca (MS) foi de 15:85. Sendo as dietas, CTL: controle, sem inclusão de aditivos, OLE: inclusão de óleos funcionais (500 mg.kg-1 MS) e OLEVIT: inclusão de óleos funcionais (500 mg.kg-1 MS) + vitamina E (500 UI.kg-1 MS). Durante o período experimental foram avaliados os parâmetros sanguíneos e fisiológicos, comportamento ingestivo e desempenho dos animais. O peso corporal de abate foi (PVF) de 38 ± 4,2 kg e 47 ± 4,3 kg, fêmeas e machos, respectivamente. Após o abate determinou-se o peso de carcaça quente (PCQ) e pH 1 e 24 horas. Avaliou-se a área de lombo (AOL), espessura de gordura subcutânea (EGS) e cor da carne. Amostras do músculo longissimus dorsi (LD) foram coletadas e congeladas para análise sensorial, perda por cocção (PPC), força de cisalhamento (FC), oxidação lipídica (30 e 180 dias de armazenamento), perfil de ácidos graxos (PAG) e colesterol total (CT). Observou-se efeito de sexo (P < 0,05) para os parâmetros pH (pHF), bicarbonato (HCO3-F), teor de dióxido de carbono (TCO2-F) e excesso de base (EBF) da colheita sanguínea final, machos tiveram maiores valores. Para frequência respiratória houve interação entre dieta*período (P < 0,05) e para temperatura retal e cortisol sérico houve efeito de período (P < 0,05), o aumento dos valores destes parâmetros comprovaram o desencadeamento do estresse térmico. No comportamento ingestivo houve interação sexo*período (P < 0,05) para atividade \"ruminando\" (R) e \"interagindo\" (IN). Para as atividades \"comendo\" (C) e \"ócio\" (O) houve efeito de período (P < 0,05) e de sexo (P < 0,05). Houve efeito de dieta (P < 0,05) para as atividades \"O\" e \"IN\". Para PVF, ingestão de matéria seca, ganho de peso médio diário, eficiência alimentar e conversão alimentar, observou efeito de sexo (P < 0,05), machos tiveram melhores resultados. Houve efeito de sexo (P < 0,05) às análises pH1h, PCQ e rendimento nas carcaças, as fêmeas obtiveram menores valores. Para análises de PPC, FC e cor (L* e a*) também houve efeito de sexo (P < 0,05), maiores valores aos machos, exceto para o croma a*. Houve efeito entre as dietas (P < 0,05) para maciez, suculência e sabor característico da carne na análise sensorial, melhor pontuação observada para dieta OLEVIT. Para o PAG houve efeito de dieta somente para a somatória dos ácidos graxos saturados (P < 0,05). O uso do OF e vitamina E não apresentaram efeito para as análises de comportamento ingestivo, parâmetros sanguíneos e fisiológicos, bem como o desempenho e à maioria das análises físico-químicas da carcaça e da carne, exceto para análise sensorial e perfil de ácidos graxos. / The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of inclusion of castor oil (Ricinus communis) and liquid of cashew nut (Anacardium occidentale) associated with vitamin E on high concentrate diets for feedlot lambs on blood parameters, feeding behavior, performance, and quality of carcass and meat. Thirty lambs (12 not castrated male and 18 female) with no particular racial pattern defined, but with an average age of 4 (four) months were used in this study. The initial weight was 26 ± 3.6 kg for the females and 28 ± 3.6 kg for the males. The lambs were confined for 75 days. The voluminous:concentrate ratio of diet based on dry matter (DM) was 15:85. Being diets, CTL: control, without inclusion of additives, OLE: inclusion of functional oils (500 mg.kg-1 DM), OLEVIT: inclusion of functional oils (500 mg.kg-1 DM) + vitamin E (500 IU.kg-1 DM). During the experimental period the blood and physiological parameters, feeding behavior and the performance of the animals were evaluated. The slaughter body weight was (FBW) 38 ± 4.2 kg for the females and 47 ± 4.3 kg for the males. After the slaughter, it was determined the hot carcass weight (HCW) and the pH values (1h e 24h). The rib eye area, subcutaneous fat thickness, and the color of the meat were evaluated. Samples of the longissimus dorsi (LD) muscle were collected and stored at -18°C for the sensory analysis, cooking loss (CL), shear force (SF), lipid oxidation (30 and 180 days storage), fatty acid profile (FA) and total cholesterol (TC). It was observed the influence of the gender (P < 0.05) on the pH (pH-F), bicarbonate (HCO3-F), carbon dioxide content (TCO2-F) and base excess (EB-F) final harvest parameters. The male gender was associated with higher values. The respiratory frequency was found to be related with the interaction between diet and period (P < 0.05), and the serum cortisol and rectal temperature was observed to be related with the period in (P < 0.05). The increase in the values of these parameters can confirm the onset of the thermal stress. For the feeding behavior, there was interaction between sex and period (P < 0.05) for \"ruminating\" (R) and \"interacting\" (IN) activities. The \"eating (E)\" and \"idleness (ID) activities was found to be related to the period (P < 0.05) and to the gender (P < 0.05). An effect of diet (P < 0.05) was observed for \"ID\" and \"IN\" parameters. For FBW, dry matter intake, average daily weight gain, feed efficiency and feed conversion there was a sex effect (P < 0.05), males had better results. There was a gender effect (P < 0.05) on pH1h, HCW, and carcass yield analyses. The females obtained lower results. The CL, SF, and color (parameters L* and a*) analyses also suffered the gender effect (P < 0.05), higher values for males, except for chroma a*. There was an effect (P < 0.05) for tenderness, juiciness and characteristic beef flavor on sensory analysis, with the best score observed for the OLEVIT diet. The FA profile analysis, suffered the diet effect only for the sum of the saturated fatty acids (P < 0.05).

Objetivou-se avaliar o efeito da inclusão de óleos funcionais de rícino (Ricinus communis) e do líquido da casca de castanha de caju (Anacardium occidentale), associados à vitamina E em dietas de alto teor de concentrado para cordeiros confinados, sobre os parâmetros sanguíneos, comportamento ingestivo, desempenho e qualidade de carcaça e da carne. Foram utilizados 30 cordeiros sem padrão racial definido (12 machos não castrados e 18 fêmeas), com idade média de quatro meses e peso vivo inicial de 26 ± 3,6 kg para fêmeas e 28 ± 3,6 kg para machos. Os cordeiros permaneceram confinados por 75 dias. A relação volumoso:concentrado da dieta com base na matéria seca (MS) foi de 15:85. Sendo as dietas, CTL: controle, sem inclusão de aditivos, OLE: inclusão de óleos funcionais (500 mg.kg-1 MS) e OLEVIT: inclusão de óleos funcionais (500 mg.kg-1 MS) + vitamina E (500 UI.kg-1 MS). Durante o período experimental foram avaliados os parâmetros sanguíneos e fisiológicos, comportamento ingestivo e desempenho dos animais. O peso corporal de abate foi (PVF) de 38 ± 4,2 kg e 47 ± 4,3 kg, fêmeas e machos, respectivamente. Após o abate determinou-se o peso de carcaça quente (PCQ) e pH 1 e 24 horas. Avaliou-se a área de lombo (AOL), espessura de gordura subcutânea (EGS) e cor da carne. Amostras do músculo longissimus dorsi (LD) foram coletadas e congeladas para análise sensorial, perda por cocção (PPC), força de cisalhamento (FC), oxidação lipídica (30 e 180 dias de armazenamento), perfil de ácidos graxos (PAG) e colesterol total (CT). Observou-se efeito de sexo (P < 0,05) para os parâmetros pH (pHF), bicarbonato (HCO3-F), teor de dióxido de carbono (TCO2-F) e excesso de base (EBF) da colheita sanguínea final, machos tiveram maiores valores. Para frequência respiratória houve interação entre dieta*período (P < 0,05) e para temperatura retal e cortisol sérico houve efeito de período (P < 0,05), o aumento dos valores destes parâmetros comprovaram o desencadeamento do estresse térmico. No comportamento ingestivo houve interação sexo*período (P < 0,05) para atividade \"ruminando\" (R) e \"interagindo\" (IN). Para as atividades \"comendo\" (C) e \"ócio\" (O) houve efeito de período (P < 0,05) e de sexo (P < 0,05). Houve efeito de dieta (P < 0,05) para as atividades \"O\" e \"IN\". Para PVF, ingestão de matéria seca, ganho de peso médio diário, eficiência alimentar e conversão alimentar, observou efeito de sexo (P < 0,05), machos tiveram melhores resultados. Houve efeito de sexo (P < 0,05) às análises pH1h, PCQ e rendimento nas carcaças, as fêmeas obtiveram menores valores. Para análises de PPC, FC e cor (L* e a*) também houve efeito de sexo (P < 0,05), maiores valores aos machos, exceto para o croma a*. Houve efeito entre as dietas (P < 0,05) para maciez, suculência e sabor característico da carne na análise sensorial, melhor pontuação observada para dieta OLEVIT. Para o PAG houve efeito de dieta somente para a somatória dos ácidos graxos saturados (P < 0,05). O uso do OF e vitamina E não apresentaram efeito para as análises de comportamento ingestivo, parâmetros sanguíneos e fisiológicos, bem como o desempenho e à maioria das análises físico-químicas da carcaça e da carne, exceto para análise sensorial e perfil de ácidos graxos. / The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of inclusion of castor oil (Ricinus communis) and liquid of cashew nut (Anacardium occidentale) associated with vitamin E on high concentrate diets for feedlot lambs on blood parameters, feeding behavior, performance, and quality of carcass and meat. Thirty lambs (12 not castrated male and 18 female) with no particular racial pattern defined, but with an average age of 4 (four) months were used in this study. The initial weight was 26 ± 3.6 kg for the females and 28 ± 3.6 kg for the males. The lambs were confined for 75 days. The voluminous:concentrate ratio of diet based on dry matter (DM) was 15:85. Being diets, CTL: control, without inclusion of additives, OLE: inclusion of functional oils (500 mg.kg-1 DM), OLEVIT: inclusion of functional oils (500 mg.kg-1 DM) + vitamin E (500 IU.kg-1 DM). During the experimental period the blood and physiological parameters, feeding behavior and the performance of the animals were evaluated. The slaughter body weight was (FBW) 38 ± 4.2 kg for the females and 47 ± 4.3 kg for the males. After the slaughter, it was determined the hot carcass weight (HCW) and the pH values (1h e 24h). The rib eye area, subcutaneous fat thickness, and the color of the meat were evaluated. Samples of the longissimus dorsi (LD) muscle were collected and stored at -18°C for the sensory analysis, cooking loss (CL), shear force (SF), lipid oxidation (30 and 180 days storage), fatty acid profile (FA) and total cholesterol (TC). It was observed the influence of the gender (P < 0.05) on the pH (pH-F), bicarbonate (HCO3-F), carbon dioxide content (TCO2-F) and base excess (EB-F) final harvest parameters. The male gender was associated with higher values. The respiratory frequency was found to be related with the interaction between diet and period (P < 0.05), and the serum cortisol and rectal temperature was observed to be related with the period in (P < 0.05). The increase in the values of these parameters can confirm the onset of the thermal stress. For the feeding behavior, there was interaction between sex and period (P < 0.05) for \"ruminating\" (R) and \"interacting\" (IN) activities. The \"eating (E)\" and \"idleness (ID) activities was found to be related to the period (P < 0.05) and to the gender (P < 0.05). An effect of diet (P < 0.05) was observed for \"ID\" and \"IN\" parameters. For FBW, dry matter intake, average daily weight gain, feed efficiency and feed conversion there was a sex effect (P < 0.05), males had better results. There was a gender effect (P < 0.05) on pH1h, HCW, and carcass yield analyses. The females obtained lower results. The CL, SF, and color (parameters L* and a*) analyses also suffered the gender effect (P < 0.05), higher values for males, except for chroma a*. There was an effect (P < 0.05) for tenderness, juiciness and characteristic beef flavor on sensory analysis, with the best score observed for the OLEVIT diet. The FA profile analysis, suffered the diet effect only for the sum of the saturated fatty acids (P < 0.05). The use of FO and vitamin E did not have an effect on the ingestive behavior, blood, and physiological parameters, as well as the performance and most of the physicochemical analyzes of carcass and meat, except for sensory analysis and fatty acid profile.
