Production of Muscular Dystrophy in Pigs by Feeding Certain Grains

Abstract: Summary Muscular degeneration (MD) was produced in pigs experimentally by feeding grain which was associated with field outbreaks. The manifestations of disease were increased blood‐plasma levels of glutamic‐oxaloacetic transaminase (GOT) and/or glutamic‐pyruvic trans‐aminase (GPT) but normal ornithin‐carbamyl transferase (OCT), and characteristic changes in skeletal muscle, observed by microscopical examination of biopsy specimens. Addition of d, l‐α‐tocopherol and sodium selenite to the ration prevented the … Show more

“…Bie most common post mortem findings (Hartley and Grant, 1961;Lannek, 1967;Oksanen, 1967) and liver dystrophy (LD) (Orstadius et al, 1959;Lannek et al, 1960;TanhuanpSË, 1965;Lannek, 1967;Oksanen, 1967). The increase in serum enzymes has been interpreted to indicate a release of the enzymes from damaged tissue into the blood stream.…”

“…The dystrophogenic property of polyunsaturated fatty acids has been demonstrated experimentally by a number of workers (Obel, 1953;Lannek et al, 1961;Lindberg and Orstadius, 1961;Orstadius, Nordstrom and Lannek, 1963;Tanhuanpaa, 1965). Nutritional muscular dystrophy can be produced experimentally in pigs by feeding grain that has been associated with natural outbreaks (Thafvelin, 1960;Lannek et al, 1960). Thafvelin (1960) The iron hypersensitivity syndrome in piglets may be produced ex perimentally by feeding sows a vitamin E deficient diet during pregnancy and lactation (Lannek, Lindberg and Tollerz, 1962).…”
