| Popis: | Physical stress and malnutrition may cause elimination of myonuclei and produce inflammatory response in muscle. The objective of this study was to histochemically determine the association of apoptosis and/or macrophage infiltration with changes in muscle satellite cell mitotic activity in pectoralis thoracicus muscle of early post-hatch turkey toms. Feed-deprived birds and birds provided with three different levels of crude protein and amino acids (0.88 NRC, 1.00 NRC, and 1.12 NRC) were used in this model. The number of apoptotic nuclei was significantly elevated (P0.05) and presence of macrophage infiltration was readily detectable in feed-deprived and 0.88 NRC treatment groups 72 h and 96 h post-hatch suggesting potential muscle injury and/or muscle remodeling. The number of apoptotic nuclei was the same (P0.05), and there was no detectable macrophage infiltration present in birds placed on 1.00 NRC and 1.12 NRC diet 72 h, 96 h, and 120 h post-hatch. At 120 h post-hatch, feed-deprived and 0.88 NRC birds were characterized by no detectable levels of macrophage infiltration and a significant drop (P0.05) in apoptotic nuclei. Understanding mechanisms that correlate early nutrition with skeletal muscle growth and development may present a useful tool in optimizing muscle health and improving meat quality and yield. |
