Dietary adrenergic active compounds and the response of broilers to isoproterenol and cyclic adenosine monophosphate in vitro.

Broiler chickens, growing from 7-28 days of age, were fed diets containing 18% protein and 0, 1, 10 or 100 mg/kg yohimbine (alpha 2-adrenergic antagonist) or metaproterenol (beta-adrenergic agonist) to determine the role of adrenergic agents in the regulation of feeding behavior and metabolism. Data from this experiment suggest that beta-adrenergic agonists have slight effects on feed intake, growth and more pronounced effects on metabolism in the broiler chicken. In vitro lipogenesis (IVL) was determined by incubating liver explants for 2 h at 37 degrees C in the presence of cAMP or isoproterenol (ISO) and [2-14C]acetate and by measuring acetate incorporation into total hepatic lipid. Metaproterenol and yohimbine (100 mg/kg) depressed growth from 7 to 28 days. Both metaproterenol and yohimbine (100 mg/kg) decreased (P < 0.05) IVL compared to controls. These dietary additions also decreased (P < 0.05) hepatic malic enzyme activity without affecting the activities of either isocitrate dehydrogenase or aspartate aminotransferase.[1]
