In an irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) rat model, S. chinensis reversed the exaggerated visceral nocicptive responses (judged by abdominal withdrawal reflex and electromyographic measurement) to colorectal distension induced by neonatal maternal separation. Relief of visceral hypersensitivity by S. chinensis could be related to the decrease of elevated 5-HT level and the reduction in 5-HT3 receptor expression in colon. / In summary, given the modulatory effects on intestinal motility and visceral sensation, Schisandra chinensis would be potentially useful for the treatment of relieving diarrhea and visceral pain symptoms in IBS patients. Schisandra lignans, the major absorbable components, can be regarded as the active ingredients in S. chinensis for the potential treatment of IBS. / Schisandra chinensis, which is named "Wu-Wei-Zi" in Chinese Pin Yin, is widely used in Chinese medicine as an astringent, tonic and sedative agent. Dibenzo[a,c]-cyclooctadiene lignans are the major components of this herb. In the present study, the chemical constituents of S. chinensis were first characterized. A HPLC-DAD method was developed and validated for quantitative analysis of four major Schisandra lignans, namely, schisandrin (SCH-1), gomisin A (SCH-2), deoxyschisandrin (SCH-3) and gamma-schisandrin (SCH-4), in the aqueous and ethanolic extracts of S. chinensis. The ethanolic extract contains higher amount of lignan components than aqueous extract. The HPLC method has also been employed to obtain chromatographic fingerprintings to distinguish S. chinensis from a related species, S. sphenanthera. / The modulatory effects of both S. chinensis extracts and four major lignans on intestinal motility were evaluated using in vitro intestinal motility assays. The tested compounds induced relaxation on guinea pig ileum contracted by acetylcholine, serotonin and electrical field stimulation, as well as on rat colon with spontaneous contractility. While SCH-3 was most potent in inhibiting sensorimotor response in guinea pig ileum, SCH-1 displayed the highest potency of inhibition on spontaneous contraction of rat colon. / The relaxant effect on rat colon induced by SCH-1 has been demonstrated to involve two or more non-adrenergic non-cholinergic mediators. Nitric oxide was likely to be one of the inhibitory transmitters that involved cGMP-dependent pathways, whereas the non-nitrergic component was apamin-sensitive, but probably excluded vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP) and adenosine. / With the aid of HPLC-DAD-MS for qualitative and quantitative analyses, the absorption of S. chinensis in the rat everted gut sac and human Caco-2 monolayer in vitro models have been profiled. Fifteen Schisandra lignans were identified as the major absorbable components of S. chinensis in these models. Transport study on SCH-1 has shown a passive diffusion pathway with high permeability. In an in vivo study, metabolites of Schisandra lignans could be found in rat plasma after a single oral administration of S. chinensis extract. The plasma pharmacokinetics of S. chinensis in rats was further evaluated using simultaneous quantification of four representative Schisandra lignans (SCH-1, SCH-2, SCH-3 and SCH-4). / Yang, Jiaming. / Adviser: Chun-Tao Che. / Source: Dissertation Abstracts International, Volume: 73-03, Section: B, page: . / Thesis (Ph.D.)--Chinese University of Hong Kong, 2009. / Includes bibliographical references (leaves 262-283). / Electronic reproduction.

The aim of this study was to determine growth responses and apparent total tract nutrient digestibility in growing pigs fed diets containing graded levels of distillers dried grains with solubles (DDGS) and to determine the effect of a multicarbohydrase enzyme (MC) supplementation on visceral organ mass and fasting whole-body oxygen consumption (FWBOC). In Experiment 1, 48 pigs (25.5 ± 0.14 kg BW) were assigned on the basis of sex and BW (2 pigs per pen) to 4 diets (6 pens per diet) based on corn-barley-soybean meal with 0, 10, 20 and 30% DDGS in a 42-d trial. Apparent total tract digestibilities (ATTD) of energy and other nutrients were determined using acid insoluble ash (AIA) as the indigestible marker. Inclusion of DDGS in the diets decreased (linear, P < 0.05) average daily gain (ADG) and tended to decrease gain to feed ratio (G:F) (linear, P = 0.067) but not average daily feed intake (ADFI) (P > 0.10); however, pigs fed the 20% DDGS diet had similar ADG as pigs fed the 0% DDGS diet. Increasing DDGS content in the diet linearly decreased (P < 0.01) the ATTD of DM, energy and CP (cubic, P < 0.05) but not (P > 0.10) P and Ca; however, ATTD of neutral detergent fiber (NDF) increased (linear, P < 0.01) when DDGS was included in the diet. In Experiment 2, 24 pigs (19.9 ± 0.46 kg BW) were randomly assigned to 3 corn-soybean meal-basal diets (8 pigs per diet): Control (C, 0% DDGS); basal diet with 30% DDGS (C+30% DDGS) or C+30% DDGS supplemented with MC (C+30% DDGS+MC). On d 15, WBOC during the 24- to 30-h postprandial period was determined using an open-circuit indirect calorimeter on 4 pigs per diet. On d 28, pigs were killed to determine visceral organ mass and intestinal morphology. There was no diet effect (P > 0.10) on final BW, FWBOC, and liver, spleen, pancreas, heart, stomach and caecum weights relative to empty BW. However, pigs fed the C and C+30% DDGS+MC had heavier (P = 0.05) empty BW compared with those fed unsupplemented 30% DDGS-containing diet. Small intestine, colon plus rectum and the portal-drained viscera (PDV) were heavier (P < 0.05) in DDGS-fed pigs compared with C; supplementing with MC substantially decreased the effect of DDGS on the weight of these visceral organs. Feeding pigs DDGS tended to decrease (P < 0.10) villous height (VH) and VH:CD in the ileum. Results show that including DDGS in grower pig diets up to 20% has no effect on performance although ATTD of energy, DM, and N may be reduced. Inclusion of DDGS at 30% increased PDV mass and reduced dressing percentage but these effects were overcome by a multicarbohydrase enzyme supplementation.

The present paper was aimed at detect the presence of poultry viscera meal (VM) in the diet of broilers, utilizing the technique of the stable isotopes of carbon (13C/12C) and nitrogen (15N/14N) by mass spectrometry, blood and feathers. We used 720 broiler chicks from Cobb, of treatments: vegetable diet based on corn and soybean meal from 1 -42 days old, diet with 8% poultry viscera meal from 1-42 days, vegetable diet 1-21 days and diet with 8% VM 22 -42 days, vegetable diet 1-35 days and diet with 8%VM 36-42 days, diet with 8%VM 1-21 days of vegetable diet and 22-42 days, diet with 8% VM 1 -35 days of vegetable diet and 36 -42 days. Samples were collected breast feathers and blood of 4 birds / treatment at 7, 14, 21, 28, 35 and 42 days, which were submitted to isotopic analysis. To determine the estimated percentage of participation of poultry meal in the composition of these tissues, we used the model of isotopic dilution of two sources and two isotopes (13C and 15N) in the formation of the product. The data obtained by isotopic analysis were submitted to multivariate analysis of variance (MANOVA) with the aid of the GLM procedure of SAS ® (SAS Institute, 2000). We conclude that the technique of stable isotopes of carbon and nitrogen in feathers of broiler can detect the use of poultry viscera meal (VM) in feed for broiler for a period of up to 21 days after removal of this ingredient diet or 21 days after the inclusion of VM in the diet. In the case of blood, the maximum period to detect the use of poultry viscera meal in the diet of broilers is lower, only 7 days for broilers in the initial creation, due to the high growth rate, and 14 days for broilers in stages of growth and end.
