| الوصف: | The objectives of the two experiments were to determine the respective effects and interactions of diet type (grass v. maize diets) and physical activity (grazing v. zero grazing) on lipogenic enzyme activities and adipose cell size in subcutaneous, perirenal and intermuscular adipose tissues and on plasma metabolites and hormones in Charolais steers. After weaning, the steers were assigned to two (Experiment 1, n = 24) or three (Experiment 2, n = 24) groups, with steers in Experiment 1 grazed grass or indoors maize-silage-fed and steers in Experiment 2 grazed grass, indoors cut grass- or indoors maize-silage-fed. Both experiments lasted for 23 months. All grass-fed animals were fed grass silage during the two winter seasons. During the two summer seasons, steers fed on grass were rotationally grazed on a perennial rye-grass pasture while steers fed on cut grass were fed indoors on freshly cut grass alone. Steers fed on maize silage were fed maize silage indoors during the entire experiment. All animals were reared for similar body weight and growth rates and slaughtered at the same age (31 to 32 months). Activities of lipogenic enzymes were significantly lower in the three adipose tissue sites of steers fed cut grass compared with maize silage, although there were less-marked effects in intermuscular adipose tissue. Plasma insulin and glucose concentrations were also lower in steers fed cut grass whereas plasma leptin concentration was similar. As body fat content was not affected by nutritional treatment, it is suggested that the decrease in potential lipogenic activity was associated with the nature of the diet and not to differences in available net energy. In other respects, grazed grass compared with eating cut grass did not affect lipogenic enzyme activities but decreased plasma leptin concentrations in the older steers and increased plasma non-esterified fatty acids and glucose concentrations without affecting adipose tissue weight and adipose cell size. |
