摘要: We hypothesized that dietary supplementation of (n-6) plus (n-3) PUFA during late gestation would increase uncoupling protein-1 (UCP1) gene expression and thereby thermogenic capacity newborn lambs. Thirty twin-bearing ewes were fed rumen-protected fat (2, 4, or 8%) high in saturated monounsaturated fatty acids (SMFA) PUFA. Lambs (n = 7-10 per ewe treatment group) placed a cold chamber at 0 degrees C for 2 h. Rectal temperature was higher birth increased more with exposure lambs from 4% supplemental than 8% SMFA (fat type x level interaction, P 0.001). Cytochrome c oxidase activity greatest brown adipose tissue (BAT) 2% 0.01). BAT had nearly 7-fold (P 0.05) UCP1 mRNA decreased by over 80% 24 h age. Supplementation tended to depress palmitate esterification into lipids 0.07) oxidation 0.003) lamb vitro, especially those SMFA. Thus, supplementing the diets depressed tolerance lambs, which reflected their ability oxidize vitro.
