    Abstract The aim of the study is to investigate the influence of prenatal temperature stimulation on neuronal NO synthase (nNOS) expression in the anterior hypothalamus of Muscovy duck embryos. Experiments were performed on embryonic day (E) E20, E23, E28, and E33 using histochemistry for identification of the nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate-diaphorase (NADPH-d) as marker of NOS-containing neurons. Until the experiments, all duck embryos were incubated under standard temperature conditions (37.5°C). During 3 hours before the start of the experiments, one group was incubated at 37.5°C (control group), the second was warm-experienced at 39°C, and the third was cold-experienced at 34°C. In normal and warm-incubated duck embryos, nNOS activity could be first detected on E23. Particularly, after cold stimulation, a significant increase in nNOS activity was found in all embryos investigated even on day 20. Warm stimulation obviously induces the opposite effect, but at later embryonic age (E33). It can be concluded that probably in late-term bird embryos NO acts as a mediator of the neuronal cold pathway in the anterior hypothalamus, which might be improved by prenatal cold stimulation.

    Abstract Increased availability and improved sequence annotation of the chicken (Gallus gallus f. domestica) genome have sparked interest in the bird as a model system to investigate translational embryonic development and health/disease outcomes. However, the epigenetics of this bird genome remain unclear. The aim of this study was to determine the levels of gene expression and DNA methylation at the proopiomelanocortin (POMC) gene in the hypothalamus of 3‐week‐old chickens. POMC is a key player in the control of the stress response, food intake, and metabolism. DNA methylation of the promoter, CpG island, and gene body regions of POMC were measured. Our data illustrate the pattern, variability, and functionality of DNA methylation for POMC expression in the chicken. Our findings show correlation of methylation pattern and gene expression along with sex‐specific differences in POMC. Overall, these novel data highlight the promising potential of the chicken as a model and also the need for breeders and researchers to consider sex ratios in their studies.

    Abstract During embryonic development of homeothermic animals like birds and mammals transition from ectothermy to endothermy occurs especially in precocial species of both taxa. Based on some evolutionary aspects of the development of endothermy the review focuses on the prenatal development of endothermy and of the thermoregulatory system using the precocial bird as a model. During final incubation precocial bird embryos have all the prerequisites to respond to environmental (temperature) influences in a nearly appropriate way. Autonomic, neuronal and molecular mechanisms underlying the development of endothermy are established and the transition of the thermoregulatory system from a control system without feedback into a system with feedback mechanisms occurs. Precocial bird embryos are endothermic, but not homeothermic if incubation temperature decreases below the normal level, which seems to be associated with summit metabolism. At increased incubation temperatures the embryos are able to stabilize their body temperature. Therefore, above normal temperatures, homoeothermy can occur over a limited temperature range.

    Abstract It has been clearly shown that early environmental stimulation may have long-lasting influence on body functions. Because of the strong relationship between thermoregulation and other homeostatic linked physiological parameters, perinatal thermal manipulation will also have an impact on other body functions like reproduction. As a maturation stimulant for later reproductive performance, hypothalamic type-2 iodothyronine deiodinase (Dio2) expression was investigated in 35day old immature female broilers with and without embryonic temperature stimulation. For the first time, human-specific Dio2 primary antibodies combined with additional amplification enabled the immunohistochemical detection of hypothalamic Dio2 protein in birds. The novel protocol includes an additional amplification step involving swine-anti-rabbit/mouse/goat antibodies against both goat anti-Dio2 primary and rabbit anti-goat biotinylated secondary commercial antibodies in the standard diaminobenzidine protocol. However, significant Dio2 expression was exclusively found in perinatally short-term temperature stimulated hens. Caudal but not rostral hypothalamic slices revealed that elevating incubation temperature by 1°C for 2h daily, from day 18 of embryonic development until hatching, induced a statistical significant expression of Dio2 within the subcommisural organ and the median eminence. This ample expression of Dio2 protein within caudal but not rostral hypothalamic slices of embryonic temperature stimulated chickens, leads to the assumption of a novel physiological prospective for embryonic thermal manipulation involving the suppression of thyroid hormone and the boosting of hypothalamic Dio2-induced FSH secretion to considerably advance the age of photoinduced egg production. It could be also of practicable relevance for broiler breeder females, and needs further investigations.

    Abstract Background: Prenatal exposures may have a distinct impact for long-term health, one example being exposure to maternal 'diabesity' during pregnancy increasing offspring 'diabesity' risk. Malprogramming of the central nervous regulation of body weight, food intake and metabolism has been identified as a critical mechanism. While concrete disrupting factors still remain unclear, growing focus on acquired epigenomic alterations have been proposed. Due to the independent development from the mother, the chicken embryo provides a valuable model to distinctively establish causal factors and mechanisms.
    Aim: The aim of this study was to determine the effects of prenatal hyperglycemia on postnatal hypothalamic gene expression and promoter DNA methylation in the chicken.
    Methods and findings: To temporarily induce high-glucose exposure in chicken embryos, 0.5 ml glucose solution (30 mmol/l) were administered daily via catheter into a vessel of the chorioallantoic egg membrane from days 14 to 17 of incubation. At three weeks of postnatal age, body weight, total body fat, blood glucose, mRNA expression (INSR, LEPR, GLUT1, GLUT3) as well as corresponding promoter DNA methylation were determined in mediobasal hypothalamic brain slices (Nucleus infundibuli hypothalami). Although no significant changes in morphometric and metabolic parameters were detected, strongly decreased mRNA expression occurred in all candidate genes. Surprisingly, however, no relevant alterations were observed in respective promoter methylation.
    Conclusion: Prenatal hyperglycemia induces strong changes in later hypothalamic expression of INSR, LEPR, GLUT1, and GLUT3 mRNA. While the chicken provides an interesting approach for developmental malprogramming, the classical expression regulation via promoter methylation was not observed here. This may be due to alternative/interacting brain mechanisms or the thus far under-explored bird epigenome.

    Abstract Prenatal exposures may have a distinct impact for long-term health. Exposure to maternal 'diabesity' during pregnancy increases offspring 'diabesity' risk, e.g. by malprogramming the central nervous regulation of body weight, food intake and metabolism. Critical mechanisms and concrete disrupting factors still remain unclear. Due to the independent development, from the mother, the chicken embryo could provide a valuable model to distinctively establish causal factors. Aim of this study was to determine effects of temporary prenatal hyperglycemia on postnatal hypothalamic neuronal glucose sensitivity in the chicken. To induce hyperglycemia in chicken embryos, 0.5 ml glucose solution (concentration 30 mmol/l) were daily administered via catheter into a vessel of the chorioallantoic egg membrane from days 14 to 17 of incubation. On day 21 of postnatal age, body weight, body fat content, blood glucose, neuroelectrophysiological glucose sensitivity as well as glucose transporter expression were determined in hypothalamic brain slices. No significant changes in morphometric and metabolic parameters were observed. However, strongly decreased neuronal glucose sensitivity and glucose transporter expression occurred, indicating prenatally acquired hypothalamic 'glucose-resistance'. In conclusion, temporary late prenatal hyperglycemia induces lasting changes in central glucose sensing. The prenatally glucose-treated chicken provides a valuable new model for investigating early central nervous origins of 'diabesity' and related disorders.
