Because number of matured muscle fibers in poultry does not increase after birth, the meat yield is mainly determined during embryogenesis. We previously indicated breast muscle grew rapidly from 18th day after hatching (E18) to E27, and almost stopped from E27 to E34 of Jiaji ducks, while the mechanism is unclear. This study utilized RNA-seq to explore the related genes of muscle development and their relationship with small molecule metabolites at E18, E27 and E34 of Jiaji ducks. Several thousand differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were detected among E18, E27 and E34. DEGs expression profiles included 8 trend maps, among which trend 1 was opposite to and trend 6 was consistent with breast muscle development trend of Jiaji ducks. Through joint analysis between trend 1 of DEGs and trend 1 of differential metabolites (DEMs), protein digestion and absorption pathway stood out. The decrease of COL8A2 gene expression will lead to the decrease of arginine content, which will inhibit the development of breast muscle in embryonic Jiaji duck. Similarly, joint analysis between trend 6 of DEGs and trend 6 of DEMs indicated the increase of GAMT gene expression will cause the increase of proline content, and then promote the development of breast muscle of Jiaji duck in embryonic period. These results will be helpful for further understanding the mechanism of muscle yields of Jiaji ducks.

“…Essential oils with unique biochemical functions have great potential in treating various diseases. Consuming essential oils may contract intestinal tissue, enhance intestinal barrier function, and modulate gut microbiota (Ge et al, 2023;J. Hu et al, 2010;Meligy et al, 2023).…”

We sought to explore the protective effect of the combination of fenchone (FE) and sodium hyaluronate (SH) on ice water‐induced IBS‐C rats and the potential mechanism. The neurotransmitter levels, including substance P (SP), motilin (MTL), 5‐hydroxytryptamine (5‐HT), and vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP), were determined by ELISA methods. The stem cell factors (SCF)/c‐Kit signaling pathway‐related protein and mRNA levels were determined by western blot and reverse transcription quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT‐qPCR) analyses, respectively. The expressions of tight ZO‐1, Occludin, and Claudin‐1 were also measured by western blot assay and immunofluorescence staining. The 16S rRNA gene sequence was used to measure the composition of gut microbiota. The co‐administration of FE and SH improved the body weight, number of fecal pellets, fecal moisture, abdominal with drawal reflex score, and gastrointestinal transit rate in IBS‐C rats. The unique efficacy of combination depended on the regulation of balance between excitatory and inhibitory neurotransmitters, enhancement of intestinal barrier function, and activation of SCF/c‐Kit pathway. The gut microbiota structure was also restored. The ability of FE combined with SH to regulate SCF/c‐Kit signaling pathway, enhance intestinal barrier function, and modulate gut microbiota contributes to their efficacy in managing IBS‐C in rats.
