The myofibrillar proteins, myosin and actin, were quantitated using N$ sp tau$-methylhistidine determined from selected avian white and red skeletal muscles of randomly chosen young and adult white Leghorn chickens. No significant difference (P = 0.01) was noted with respect to muscle type or age in N$ sp tau$-methylhistidine levels which ranged from 0.383 to 0.637 g/kg protein, translating into a myofibrillar protein content ranging between 532.68 to 579.77 g/kg protein. The connective tissue and collagen content, on the other hand, were calculated using 5-hydroxylysine levels in muscle tissue (0.276 to 1.273 g/kg protein) and were found to be significantly higher (P $<$ 0.01) in avian red muscle tissue ranging from 50.19 to 53.80 g/kg protein as compared to white muscle tissue (13.41 to 19.43 g/kg). / It has also been demonstrated that native skeletal muscle actin isolated from three different species, and cardiac muscle actin isolated from bovine and porcine muscle tissue, who highly conserved amino acid compositions and contain 1 mole of N$ sp tau$-methylhistidine per mole of actin.

Seventeen wk old male obese Zucker rats were given 0.4% (w/w) conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) isomers for 8 wk to determine effects of specific isomers on multiple eicosanoids in obesity. Liquid-chromatography-mass spectrometry analysis showed that compared to controls, those given t10,c12 CLA had increased liver leukotriene B4 levels, while immunoblotting revealed that rats given either t10,c12 or c9,t11 CLA had lower liver cyclooxygenase-2. In kidney, compared to c9,t11 CLA or controls, t10,c12 CLA increased cyclooxygenase-1, 6-keto-prostaglandin F2α and thromboxane B2 and inhibited the in vitro production of 13-hydroxyoctadecadienoic acid and 5-, 8-, 12- and 15-hydroxyeicosatetraenoic acid. In lean compared to fa/fa rats, endogenous levels and in vitro production of liver and kidney 9- and 13-hydroxyoctadecadienoic acid were elevated. Previous investigations on these tissues revealed that t10,c12 CLA reduced hepatic steatosis, but increased renal damage. How these changes in eicosanoids in response to t10,c12 CLA relate to the previous findings remains to be elucidated.
