The effects of dietary ingredients on the proteome profile of postmortem beef longissimus lumborum (LL) muscle were evaluated. In the first experiment, the influence of dietary ractopamine on the whole-muscle proteome of beef LL was examined. Five proteins were differentially abundant between ractopamine-fed (RAC) and non-ractopamine fed (CON) groups. The differentially abundant proteins were over-abundant in RAC and were related to muscle structure development (F-actin-capping protein subunit beta-2 and PDZ and LIM domain protein-3), chaperone (heat shock protein beta-1), oxygen transportation (myoglobin), and glycolysis (L-lactate dehydrogenase A chain). These findings indicated that ractopamine influences the abundance of proteins associated with muscle structure and fiber type shift in beef LL.
In the second experiment, the effect of Vitamin E supplementation on the sarcoplasmic proteome of beef LL was characterized. Five differentially abundant proteins were observed between vitamin E-supplemented (VITE) and non-vitamin E-supplemented (CONT) groups. All the differentially proteins were over-abundant in CONT and were associated with antioxidant activity (thioredoxin-dependent peroxide reductase, peroxiredoxin-6, and serum albumin) and glycolysis (beta-enolase and triosephosphate isomerase). These results indicated that the strong antioxidant activity of vitamin E leads to low expression of antioxidant proteins and antioxidant-related glycolytic enzymes in beef LL muscle.
