“…We have previously noted a rise in GSH level from birth to 90 days of age in the lamb (Agar and Roberts 1971). Erythrocyte GSH levels have been shown to be associated with milk yield, growth rate and body size in cattle (Kidwell, Wade, and Hunter 1955;Slepkov 1961 ;Boriskenko 1961), body weight in chickens (Charkey, Hougham, and Kano 1965;Sabalina and Iogov 1967;Makrushin 1968;Owens, Siegel, and Van Kray 1970), and fleece weight in sheep (Saltykov 1956). It would appear from our results that both fleece weight and body weight are positively correlated with erythrocyte GSH levels in the sheep (Table 4).…”

“…Relationships between erythrocyte GSH levels and some production traits in animals (e.g. growth rate, body weight, fleece weight, milk yield) have been studied by various workers (Kidwell et al 1958;Slepcov 1961;Charkey, Hougham, and Kano 1965;Mabon 1969;Owens, Siegel, and Van Kray 1970). Smith and Osburn (1967) reported that three sheep in a flock of 104 had erythrocyte GSH levels which were less than 20% of the mean for the remaining animals.…”

Reduced glutathione (GSH) levels of erythrocytes were determined in five sheep breeds. The Merino breed had a higher incidence of low GSH animals than the other breeds tested. High GSH type animals of the Border Leicester breed had a significantly lower mean GSH level than did higher GSH animals of the other breeds.GSH levels were found to be associated with electrolyte.levels, haemoglobin type, fleece weight, and body weight in Merino sheep.

“…Levels of amylase, trypsin, chymotrypsin, and lipase in the pancreas and small intestinal chyme were measured in females from Lines HWS, LWS, HWR, and LWR (S 32 ;O'Sullivan et al, 1992c). During the early posthatch period, blood glutathione levels were greater for HWS than LWS chicks (S n ; Owens et al, 1970). These results suggested that correlated responses in feed intake were mediating the regulation of digestive enzyme levels in the pancreas and the intestinal chyme of these growth-selected lines of chickens.…”

Long-Term Divergent Selection for Eight-Week Body Weight in White Plymouth Rock Chickens

This paper provides an overview of results from a long-term (38 generations) selection experiment. Lines were developed from individual phenotypic selection for high or low body weight at 8 wk of age. Included are data for the selected lines, sublines in which selection was relaxed, crosses of the selected lines, and sublines in which the sex-linked dw gene was introduced. Periodically (and in some cases every generation) data were obtained for unselected traits. These unselected traits included feed consumption and intake behavior, reproduction, allomorphic relationships, and metabolic, immunological, endocrine, and molecular factors. These responses have been integrated into a resource allocation paradigm.

Effects of genotype and maternal alcohol consumption on some biochemical parameters of red blood cells in the progeny of mice

1983

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Effects of genotype and ethanol consumption by pregnant mothers on hemoglobin (Hb) and red-cell levels of adenosine triphosphate (ATP), 2,3-diphosphoglycerate (DPG), and glutathione (GSH) of their progeny were studied in mice. Three lines of mice were used, one selected for high body weight, another selected for low body weight, and an unselected control. An ethanol solution [10% (v/v)] was given ad lib to the females at the time of joining them with males and continued through the pregnancy. Another group received distilled water for drinking throughout. Blood samples from the progeny of both these groups were taken at 10 weeks of age and analyzed for Hb, ATP, DPG, and GSH levels. Alcohol drinking during pregnancy resulted in lower levels of DPG in the red blood cells of progeny of the lines selected for high and low body weight and the reverse in the unselected line. Maternal alcohol consumption had no effect on Hb, APT, and GSH levels in the red blood cells of the progeny of any of the three lines. Females of both selected lines had higher levels of DPG than males. Artificial selection for body weight resulted in a positively correlated response in the level of red-cell DPG and GSH in the progeny.
