ABSTRACT
The effects of spermine supplementation and extended spermine
supplementation on blood biochemical parameters, serum amino acid profile
and ileum expression of amino acid transporters in piglets were examined
in this study. Piglets were fed adequate nutrient intake supplemented or not
with spermine (0.4 mmol/kg body weight) for 7 h or 3, 6 or 9 days. Spermine
supplementation significantly increased aspartate aminotransferase activity and
albumin content, but decreased triglyceride level in serum (P < 0.05). There was
a significant increase in levels of arginine, histidine, isoleucine, leucine, threonine,
valine, alanine, asparagine, serine, proline, taurine and tyrosine (P < 0.05) in
the spermine-treated groups. Spermine significantly increased the mRNA levels
of SLC1A1, SLC1A5, SLC7A1, SLC7A7, SLC7A9, SLC5A1, SLC6A19 and
SLC15A1 in ileum (P < 0.05). The extended spermine supplementation exerted
different effects on the blood biochemical parameters, amino acid profile and
ileum expression of amino acid transporters in comparison to the 7-h group
(P < 0.05). In summary, spermine supplementation can affect biochemical
parameters and amino acid profile in serum and may enhance the ileum
absorption of amino acids by increasing the expression of amino acid
transporters in piglets.
