ABSTRACT
In order to explore relationship between the yellow fat and
β-carotene metabolism in yaks, contents of β-carotene and retinol in tissues,
serum and digestive tract contents were analysed at periods of rich and deficient
nutrition. Expressions of β-carotene 15, 15’-monooxygenase 1 (BCO1) gene
and protein were also studied using real-time PCR and western blot. It was
shown that contents of β-carotene in serum, liver, pancreas, duodenum, jejunum
and contents of rumen and ileum were higher in the period of rich nutrition than
in the period of deficient nutrition (P < 0.05). Content of retinol in liver was
much higher in the period of rich nutrition than in the period of deficient nutrition
(P < 0.05). Expression levels of BCO1 mRNA in kidney, jejunum, ileum,
duodenum, muscle and rumen in the period of rich nutrition were significantly
lower than in the period of deficient nutrition (P < 0.05), besides pancreas.
Expressions of BCO1 protein in duodenum, jejunum, kidney, muscle, and rumen
were lower in the period of rich nutrition than in the period of deficient nutrition
(P < 0.05).
