    Abstract Objectives: The innate biologic clock plays a significant role in lipid metabolism, including the peripheral clock in the pancreas. However, an evaluation of the downstream lipids in the pancreatic lipidome is lacking. We sought to understand the diurnal variations of lipids within the pancreatic lipidome.
    Methods: At 4 weeks of age, C57Bl/6J mice were subjected to either normal lighting conditions or a chronic jetlag (CJ) condition known to mimic chronic shiftwork in humans. At 9 months, mice were serially killed at 4-hour intervals for 24 hours. The pancreas was removed and subjected to untargeted liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry to examine the pancreatic lipidome.
    Results: A total of 4.7% of the pancreatic lipidome was rhythmically expressed, which increased to 12.9% after CJ. After CJ, there was a 4.58-hour shift in the timing of peak 24-hour lipid expression. Chronic jetlag also led to the enrichment of diacylglycerols and triglycerides, while promoting a decrease in lysophosphatidylcholines and 44-carbon acyl chain lipids.
    Conclusions: The pancreatic lipidome exhibits diurnal rhythmicity across a broad number of lipid classes. Chronic jetlag led to alterations in lipid composition that mirrored other metabolically active organs. Several of the reported changes may link altered sleep-wake cycles with known circadian disruption-induced pancreatic diseases.

    Abstract Objective: To quantify the magnitude and duration of changes in urine chondroitin sulfate concentration (uCS) as a result of oral administration of a chondroitin sulfate-containing supplement in dogs.
    Animals: 8 healthy privately owned dogs.
    Procedures: A urine sample was collected from each dog via cystocentesis on day 1; free-catch midstream urine samples were collected once daily on days 2 through 5. Pretreatment uCS was established from those samples. Each dog then received a chondroitin sulfate-containing supplement (20 to 30 mg/kg, PO, q 12 h) for 8 days (on days 7 through 14). Urine samples were collected on days 8 through 12 and day 15. For each sample, uCS was quantified by liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry. Variable urine concentration was accounted for by dividing the uCS by urine creatinine concentration (uCrea) to determine the uCS:uCrea ratio. Pretreatment uCS:uCrea ratios were compared with treatment uCS:uCrea ratios to calculate the fold change in uCS after supplement administration.
    Results: Among the study dogs, oral administration of the chondroitin sulfate-containing supplement resulted in a 1.9-fold increase in the median uCS:uCrea ratio. Data obtained on days 8 through 12 and day 15 indicated that the daily increase in uCS remained consistent and was not additive.
    Conclusions and clinical relevance: Results indicated that oral administration of supplemental chondroitin sulfate to dogs modestly increased uCS within 24 hours; however, subsequent supplement administration did not have an additive effect. A potential therapeutic benefit of persistently increased uCS in preventing recurrent urinary tract infections in dogs warrants investigation.

    Abstract West Nile virus remains the leading cause of arboviral neuroinvasive disease in the United States, despite extensive efforts to control the mosquito vectors involved in transmission. In this study, we evaluated the effectiveness of Altosid SR-20 (active ingredient, S-methoprene 20%) larvicide applications using truck-mounted ultra-low volume (ULV) dispersal equipment to target Culex pipiens Linnaeus (Diptera: Culicidae) and Cx. restuans (Theobald)larvae. A combination of emergence bioassays, open-field measurements of deposited S-methoprene and spray distribution using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry, and assessments of adult Culex spp. populations in response to applications were conducted over the summer of 2020 within the North Shore Mosquito Abatement District (IL, USA). Open-field applications revealed that dispersed Altosid SR-20 using ULV equipment was effective (75% emergence inhibition in susceptible lab strain Cx. pipiens larvae) up to 53 m. In suburban neighborhood applications, we found that S-methoprene deposition and larval emergence inhibition (EI) in front yards did not differ significantly from backyards. An overall EI of 46% and 28% were observed for laboratory strain Cx. pipiens and wild Cx. restuans larvae respectively, and both had an EI significantly higher than the untreated control group. The EI of exposed wild Cx. pipiens larvae did not differ from the untreated controls, suggesting an increased tolerance to S-methoprene. No difference in abundance of gravid or host-seeking adult Culex spp. post-application was detected between treated and untreated sites. These results document the ability of area-wide application to distribute S-methoprene, but this strategy will need further modifications and evaluation for Culex spp. management.

    Abstract Dietary flexibility in digestive enzyme activity is widespread in vertebrates but mechanisms are poorly understood. When laboratory rats are switched to a higher carbohydrate diet, the activities of the apical intestinal α-glucosidases (AGs) increase within 6-12 h, mainly by rapid increase in enzyme transcription, followed by rapid translation and translocation to the intestine's apical, brush-border membrane (BBM). We performed the first unified study of the overall process in birds, relying on activity, proteomic, and transcriptomic data from the same animals. Our avian model was nestling house sparrows (

    Abstract A simple method for the identification of brush-border membrane α-glucosidases is described. The proteins were first solubilized and separated in a gel under native, non-denaturing, conditions. The gel was then incubated in substrate solutions (maltose or sucrose), and the product (glucose) exposed in situ by the oxidation of o-dianisidine, which yields a brown-orange color. Nano-liquid chromatography coupled to mass spectrometry analyses of proteins (nano LC-MS/MS) present in the colored bands excised from the gels, was used to confirm the presence of the enzymes. The stain is inexpensive and the procedure permits testing several substrates in the same gel. Once enzymes are identified, their abundance, relative to that of other proteins in the brush border, can be semi-quantified using nano LC-MS/MS.
